Troubleshooting Common Issues
Heater Won't Light (Kerosene): If the blower runs but the heater does not light, the issue could be low fuel, improper air pressure, or a dirty filter.
Pump Pressure Adjustment: If the unit is smoking or not starting, you may need to adjust the pump pressure. This involves turning a screw on the pump clockwise to raise pressure or counter-clockwise to lower it, depending on the issue.
Ignition Problems: A broken igniter (PP200 model) is a common failure point that requires replacement.
