3.11 Starting the Machine in (Extreme) Cold Weather
In temperatures below 32°F (0°C), it may be necessary to preheat the
fuel inside the fuel filter canister. The fuel filter and nozzle contain low-
wattage heating elements that are controlled by a thermostat and are
specifically designed for this purpose.
Hot surface hazard.
The external surface of the fuel filter may be hot.
• Wear safety gloves when handling the fuel filter.
Note: Excess heating may increase the need for maintenance. See
sections “Replacing the Fuel Filter” and “Replacing the Burner Nozzle”.
To preheat the fuel, carry out the following procedure.
3.11.1 Connect power to the machine. See section Connecting Power to the
Machine.
3.11.2 Wait 20-30 minutes—longer for colder temperatures.
3.11.3 Start the machine. See section Starting the Machine.
Note: In extreme wind, the machine may need to be temporarily
blocked from the wind in order to start.
3.11.4 If the burner does not start on the first attempt, allow the power-on
sequence to cycle again (see 3.10.3).
3.11.5 If, after the second power-on sequence completes, the machine will
not fire, move the power switch to the off position.
3.11.6 Wait another 20-30 minutes and attempt to start the machine again.
