Instructions for disconnecting your heater / fuel:
Please read ALL instructions & call if you have questions:
​
If you have a lifter pump, please call for instructions before starting to disconnect your fuel / heater. A lifter pump is used when your tank is lower than your heater and you cannot gravity feed the fuel to your heater. Here is an example of a Lifter Pump.
​
If you do not have a lifter pump:
-
Turn off the fuel at the tank.
-
Unplug the heater from electrical outlet.
-
Disconnect the fuel line to the back of the heater. Be careful to not twist the copper line when disconnecting the fuel supply connection in the back of the heater (use 2 wrenches to loosen the fitting). Place absorbant material under where you are working - some fuel will leak out.
-
Plug the fuel line coming into the heater and cap the fuel line coming out of the heater. (You may purchase a cap and plug from the hardware store or you can pick up from our shop or purchase from our Web Store using this link: CAP & PLUG and we will ship them to you). Note: be sure you purchase the correct cap & plug (Flared or Compression Fittings - most are flared).
-
Disconnect the heater from the flue pipe. You do not need to bring the flue pipe into the shop, only the heater unless there is an issue with your flue pipe. There is a small spring (Pipe Holder) on top of the flue pipe that needs to be disconnected on one end prior to removing the heater. (If a Laser Heater, it will be a Pipe Stopper instead of a spring).
-
Please keep the heater UPRIGHT when transporting. The heater may not function correctly and may need further repair if you put it on its side.
We ask that you social distance when dropping off your heater. Customers are not allowed to remain in the shop. We will call you when your heater is ready.
If you need same day repair, Contact us to schedule an appointment. You may not wait in the shop. For same day repairs, drop off as early as possibe and we will have it ready by 5pm the same day.
Tips and Safe Operation
-
Your heater should be plugged into a dedicated outlet with a quality surge protector. If you need one, we have them available in the shop for purchase.
-
You should install appropriate carbon monoxide detectors for your home.
-
The in-line filter from your kerosene tank should be changed each year. We have these available in our Web Store for purchase.
-
Be sure that there is proper clearance all the way around the heater. This will allow for the most efficient and proper function of the unit. The details on clearance around each heater are explained in your Owner's Manual. If you do not have an Owner's Manual for your heater, they are available in our Web Store or you may Contact Us if you need assistance.
-
Only burn clean pure kerosene in your Monitor Heater.
-
Be sure to check for leaks any time that you disconnect and reconnect any fuel line fittings.
-
Wall Clamps should be installed on your heater to prevent tipping over. (Monitor Wall Clamps - Laser Wall Brackets). If you use an extension, Long Wall Clamps are required.
