AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT-OFF DEVICE
This heater is equipped with an automatic safety shut-off device. The purpose of this device is to quickly and efficiently
shut-off the heater should the heater be jarred or flipped over while in operation. This is the main safety system that is
built into the heater, and it functions to prevent the flame from spreading if the heater is knocked over.
The automatic safety shut-off device is built into the mechanism that raises and lowers the wick. It has been designed so
that if the pendulum is jarred by a shock of some sort, it retracts a latch from the wick control shaft ratchet,and a torsion
spring reacts to drop the wick to its fully lowered position. This rapid lowering of the wick extinguishes the flame.
If you find that the wick will not raise, push the safety reset lever (see diagram Fig. 1) to engage the automatic safety
shut-off device. Then dial the wick up via the wick adjuster knob.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: For the safety shut-off device to function properly, the wick must be free of carbon and tar deposits.
Regularly performing the Carbon Removal/Dry Burning” procedure described in the “Wick Maintenance” and Carbon
Removal/Dry Burning” is very important to the proper functioning of this important safety device.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE CHECK THE SAFETY SHUT-OFF DEVICE ONCE A WEEK DURING THE HEATING SEASON TO
INSURE THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: EVERY TIME THE WICK IS REMOVED OR REPLACED, THE SAFETY SHUT-OFF DEVICE MUST BE TESTED
TO INSURE THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
TESTING THE SAFETY SHUT-OFF DEVICE: At least once a week during the heating season, it is important to test the safety
shut-off device to be sure that it is operating properly. WITH THE HEATER TURNED OFF, raise the wick using the wick
adjuster knob to the fully raised position. Grabbing the protective grille, give the heater a firm shake. If the safety shut-
off device is working properly, you will hear a loud noise as the ratchet is disengaged and the torsion spring drops the wick
into the body of the heater. To verify that the wick has been completely lowered, turn the wick adjuster knob in a
counter-clockwise direction. If the safety shut-off device is functioning properly, the wick will have been completely
lowered, if you are able to lower the wick further using the wick adjuster knob, this means that it is time to perform the
“Carbon Removal/Dry Burning” procedure again.
LONG TERM STORAGE OF YOUR HEATER
Carefully following the instructions for storage given below will insure that your heater will operate efficiently and safely
next season.
Using a small amount of kerosene, swirl and rinse the inside of the tank. NEVER mix water with the kerosene as it
will cause rust inside the tank. Pour the kerosene out making sure that you remove it all.
With the fuel tank empty, ignite the heater. With the wick at its maximum height, keep the wick burning until it
burns out completely (about 1 hr). It is a good idea to do this outside or in an extremely well-ventilated area.
Remove the 2 cabinet screws and lift off the cabinet and grille assembly. Remove the burner. Remove the wick
adjuster from the fuel reservoir. Thoroughly dry the inside of the fuel tank. Using a screwdriver and/or a brush,
remove any carbon, tar or soot that might have accumulated on the wick adjuster, wick guide or burner.
After a thorough cleaning, reassemble the heater. It is important when reassembling the wick adjuster to be sure
to maintain an equal gap between the wick adjuster and the wick guide cylinder all around.
o See “Wick Replacementsection for reference.
Store the heater with the wick in the fully lowered position and the safety shut-off device deactivated.
Store the heater in the original box with the original packing material and keep the OWNER’S MANUAL with the
heater. Store in an area that is well-ventilated.
