4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – CONTINUED
START-UP
· Fill the tank with clean fuel. ONLY USE Diesel or Kerosene · The fuel gauge on top of the tank allows you to check the fuel level · Connect the plug to the relevant power source · The left display will show “- -“, the right display will show the ambient
temperature. · Push the power switch to “ON”. · The default temperature setting is 20’C (left display) · If the ambient temperature is lower than the default temperature, the
electrodes will start sparking & after 7 seconds the heater will start. · If the ambient temperature is higher than the default temperature, turn the
thermostat control knob to the desired temperature. The electrodes will start sparking & after 7 seconds the heater will start.
COLD START-UP
In low temperature, in Alpine/Highland/Inland regions, unseasonably cold weather. Block the air vent hole on the air pump (see Fig. 4) by using your finger during ignition to make start-up easier.
ABNORMAL OPERATION:
In case of malfunction (flame failure, reduced air flow, bad combustion) the heater stops and the indicator light starts FLASHING (THE LOCK-OUT MODE code will be showed on the display window).
MANUAL RESET/RESTART
If the heater is in lock-out mode, check and remove the cause of lock-out before restarting the heater. To reset, turn the ON/OFF switch to 0 and then again to I. If problem continues please contact Fanmaster. Turning the thermostat control knob will NOT reset the heater.
SHUTDOWN
Move switch to “OFF” (O) position.
· Never disconnect the heater from mains to stop it while in operation. · Always allow the cooling sequence to be completed, otherwise the residual heat
could damage internal components. · Do not cover the heater. Do not block the air inlet and outlet. · The heater outlet is very hot during operation and after use. Do not touch! Use
personal protecting equipment if needed. · Unplug the heater before moving it. Never pull the cable to unplug or move the
unit.

5. CLEANING, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
Please refer to the Maintenance Schedule & Logbook that came with this heater.
· Before starting any maintenance task, shut down, unplug and let the heater cool down for at least 15 minutes.
· Do not attempt any electrical repair yourself. If the heater needs service or repair, contact a qualified person.
· When cleaning, make sure that water does not enter the unit. · Do not open the enclosure to clean the inner parts. Do not spray water into the
heater. · Never use solvents, gasoline, toluene and similar aggressive chemicals to clean
the heater. Regularly wipe the enclosure using a soft sponge or cloth. For very dirty parts, use a sponge wetted with lukewarm water and a mild detergent, then dry using a clean cloth. Keep air inlet and fan free from dust and dirt. To clean inner parts, gently blow compressed air through air inlet. Regularly inspect the power cable: if worn, cracked or damaged have it replaced by a qualified persons only. Before storing the heater, make sure it is perfectly cool and dry. Cover the unit with a blanket or tarp and store it in a dry, ventilated plac The following checks are recommended before every seasonal use: Nozzle Carefully unscrew nozzle from nozzle fitting. Blow compressed air through nozzle orifice to free it from dirt. Replace nozzle if necessary. Air Filters Clean air filters. Remove filter end cover (11), wash air intake filter (10) using a light detergent and dry it thoroughly before re-installing. Replace air delivery filter (9) once a year (Fig.3)

5. CLEANING, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE – CON
Air Pump Pressure Adjustment (Fig 4.)
The Air Pump pressure is factory set and must be checked and adjusted by qualified technicians only. Tampering with the unit may be dangerous.
Remove pressure gauge cap. Connect a pressure gauge on the pressure measuring port on the rear guard. Start heater and read air pressure value. If necessary adjust pressure to the correct value turning the adjusting screw (the air vent hole in the adjusting screw middle) clockwise to increase, anticlockwise to decrease the pressure:
