To set up the Clarke 6931008 XR160 Paraffin Diesel Heater, place it on a stable, level surface. Ensure the fuel tank is filled with clean paraffin or diesel, and connect it to a suitable power source. Refer to the manual for specific safety clearances.
Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel is fresh. Inspect the power supply and connections. Clean or replace the ignition electrode if necessary. Consult the troubleshooting section of the manual for more details.
The air filter should be inspected every 50 hours of operation. Clean it by removing dust and debris with compressed air. Replace the filter if it shows signs of damage or excessive dirt that cannot be cleaned.
Regularly check for fuel leaks and ensure fittings are tight. Clean the fuel nozzle and lines every 100 hours of operation. Replace the fuel filter annually or as needed to maintain efficient fuel flow.
Smoke may indicate incomplete combustion. Check the quality of the fuel and ensure proper ventilation in the operating area. Inspect and clean the combustion chamber and burner if necessary.
Allow the heater to cool completely before storage. Drain the fuel tank to prevent gum deposits. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials, and cover to protect from dust.
Check for obstructions in the air intake and exhaust. Ensure the heater is not operating in a confined space. Allow the unit to cool, then reset the overheat protection switch before restarting.
Regular maintenance such as cleaning the air filter and combustion chamber is crucial. Use high-quality fuel and ensure proper ventilation to optimize combustion efficiency.
Always operate the heater in a well-ventilated area. Keep a safe distance from combustible materials. Do not leave the heater unattended while in use, and ensure all safety features are functioning.
Noisy operation may be due to loose parts or debris in the fan. Check and tighten any loose fasteners. Clean the fan blades and housing to remove any obstruction or debris.
