This manual covers the operation and maintenance of Sealey Space Warmer heaters. These units are designed for use with kerosene or diesel fuel in well-ventilated areas. Important: Never use bio-diesel. Ensure the heater is placed on a flat, non-flammable surface and that there is adequate ventilation (minimum 250 cm² opening) to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Always allow the cooling sequence to complete before unplugging the unit.
Assembly
For model AB7081.V3, follow these assembly steps:

- Insert the wheel shaft (E) into the caster fixing plate (J).
- Secure the shaft using the cotter pin (I).
- Fit plain washers (F) on both sides of the shaft, then slide the wheels (D) onto the shaft.
- Secure the wheels with the nut (G) and install the wheel covers (H).
- Attach the handle (A) to the caster fixing plate using the clamping screws (C) and plain washers (B).
Operation

Start-up
- Fill the tank with clean kerosene or diesel. Check the fuel gauge on top of the tank.
- Connect the power cord to a 230V~50Hz earthed electrical supply.
- Push the power switch to the ON (I) position.
- The left display shows the default temperature (20°C). If the ambient temperature is lower, the heater will start after 7 seconds. If higher, adjust the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Shut Down
Move the switch to the OFF (O) position. Never disconnect the heater from the mains while it is in operation; always allow the cooling sequence to complete to prevent damage to internal components.
Maintenance
Maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel only.


- Nozzle: Unscrew the nozzle, blow compressed air through the orifice to clean, and replace if necessary.
- Air Filters: Remove the filter end cover, wash the air intake filter with light detergent, and dry thoroughly. Replace the air delivery filter once a year.
- Ignition Electrodes: Clean and replace if necessary. Ensure the gap is set to 3.1mm.
- Compressor Pressure: Factory set. If adjustment is required, connect a pressure gauge to the rear port and turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase or anticlockwise to decrease pressure.
Troubleshooting
If the heater fails to operate, check the following:
- Motor does not start: Check power supply, cable, and motor/capacitor. If E1 is displayed, the unit may be locked out due to overheating; check air inlet/outlet and restart.
- Heater locks out (E1): Check for empty fuel tank, dirty fuel, clogged fuel filter, air leaks on the oil line, or a clogged burner nozzle.
- Flames out of flue: Check for insufficient airflow or incorrect compressor pressure.
- LC code: Indicates 3 failed ignition attempts. With mains connected, switch the power switch to ON 3 times within 10 seconds to unlock.
