FUEL FILTER:
The Fuel Filter should be cleaned at least twice per heating
season by rinsing it in clean 1-K kerosene. Contaminated fuel
could make this necessary immediately (See Figure 19).
NOTE: To remove the filter from models PT-45 / 70T-KFA, turn
filter 90 ° clockwise. To remove the filter from models PT-125T /
175T / 215T-KFA, turn filter 90 ° counter-clockwise.

PUMP PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT:
While heater is operating, turn relief valve clockwise to increase,
counterclockwise to decrease (see Figure 20). Use flat blade
screwdriver to turn valve. Correct pump pressure is as follows:
Model #
PT-45-KFA
PT-70T-KFA
PT-125T-KFA
PT-175T-KFA
PT-215T-KFA
For best measurement of pressure, test with full tank of
fuel. Optimum pressure occurs when the nose cone is
cherry red and there are no extending flames from the
heater.
