How to restore the fuel flow If the heater produces a lot of black smoke, is difficult to fire or never ignites; please perform the following procedures before replacing the pump and/or nozzle. Make sure that the pump turns on (you can feel and hear the vibration). This will occur approximately 5 seconds after the switch has been turned on.

Adjustment of air inlet for using the heater in high altitude Picture 9 If dark smoke comes out or flame protrudes from the radiation disk in using the heater in an altitude higher than 3,000 ft, you need to expand combustion air inlet opening.
Daily Inspection Inspection of the tank inlet filter Please remove the fuel cap and check if dirt/ dust sticks to the inlet filter If there are any dirt/dusts, remove the filter and wash it with fuel. Please restore the tank inlet filter, and tighten firmly the fuel cap.
Inspection and cleaning of the flame monitor Observations - When removing the flame monitor, hold it by its main assembly; do not pull out the cord. Remove the burner cover and pull out the flame monitor, and check whether or not its lens is dirty/foul.
