WARNING: Before operating
heater or any appliance from a
portable generator, verify that
generator has been properly con-
nected to earth ground. Improper
grounding or failure to ground
generator can result in electro-
cution if a ground fault occurs.
Refer to owner's manual supplied
by generator manufacturer for
proper grounding procedures.
Operating voltage range of heater is 108 to
132 Volts (120 Volts +/- 10%). Prior to plug-
ging heater into generator output voltage
should be verified (if generator is equipped
with automatic idle feature, output voltage
should be measured with generator running

Storing, tranSPorting or SHiPPing

Note: If shipping, transport companies require
fuel tanks to be empty.
1. Remove excess fuel from tank using a si-
phon pump. Drain remaining fuel through
filler neck by tipping heater on its side.
2. If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2
quarts of clean kerosene to tank, stir and
drain again. This will prevent excess debris
from clogging filters during future use.
