VERY IMPORTANT: Unrestricted permanent fresh air inlet
required to draw in outside air needed for correct operation.
Fuel must be filtered and not exceed a pressure of 4 psi or a fuel
pressure regulator must be used to avoid dangerous flooding
(Dickinson part# 20-003).
A barometric damper must be installed to help regulate the draft. A
barometric gives you more control in the “fuel to air” mixture needed
for correct operation. The valve controls the fuel whereas the fan
increases the air and the barometric decreases the air (See Pg. 9).
Install a CO alarm.
3. Ventilation
Do NOT operate this heater in an enclosed area without a permanent fresh air
inlet designated for your heater. This is required to draw in outside air for
correct operation. To guarantee that fresh air is available for your heater, good
ventilation is essential. You MUST replace the air inside your boat at the same
rate that the heater is removing it. The higher the heater’s burning rate, the more
air the heater will require. If the air flow is blocked or restricted, the heater will
burn inefficiently, create soot, blow out and can even be a very dangerous health
hazard.
A permanently open fresh air inlet MUST be installed or dedicated to the heater.
This inlet must be at least 3" in diameter. Ducting to the heater is also an option.
It is important to create and maintain a positive pressure inside the boat. High
winds can draw air out from the boat and thus create a negative pressure. This
condition can result in down drafts. Ensure that when you do have windows
open that they do not create a suction effect in the cabin due to the window’s
position and the wind direction. In a similar way, it is possible for the air intake
on your engine to suck the air out of a cabin if it is not properly vented.
Your heater is a natural draft appliance and it creates its draft pressure like a
chimney in a wood stove. The rising, heated air in the chimney pulls fresh
air into the heater as it rises up the chimney and exits the flue cap. The
greater the draft pressure, the more able the heater will be to resist strong
winds, overcome flue elbows that inhibit draft and the hotter you will be
