STORAGE
At the end of each heating season, or when you do not plan to use your heater for an extended period of
time, the following procedures are recommended.
1. CLEAN WlCK AND HEATER
Follow directions in ”INSPECTlON OF THE WlCK”.
2. DRAIN FUEL TANK
After you have burned your heater dry, a small amount of kerosene will remain in the fuel tank. lt should be
removed in order to avoid contamination when the heater is refueled at a later date. To do this, remove the
fuel cap, tip the heater toward you and insert a small syringe into the bottom-most portion of the fuel tank.
Empty the tank completely before storage.
3. STORE HEATER
The original shipping carton is the best place to store your heater. If you do not have original packing
materials, cover the heater with a large plastic bag and store in a dry place.
