When using a kerosene heater during camping, you need to make adequate preparations and pay attention to issues such as safe use and maintenance. Only in this way can you ensure the safe and efficient operation of the heater and provide a comfortable heating environment for camping activities.
Choose a suitable kerosene heater: Make sure the heater is designed for camping or outdoor use, and is portable and stable. Check whether the heater has necessary safety features, such as overheating protection, automatic flameout, etc.
Prepare kerosene: Use the type of kerosene specified for the heater, and avoid using flammable and explosive fuels such as gasoline and naphtha. Prepare enough kerosene to meet the heating needs during camping.
Check the heater: Before use, check whether all parts of the heater are intact, including the fuel tank, fuel pipe, burner, etc. Make sure that the ignition system of the heater is working properly and without faults.
Choose a safe placement: Place the heater on a flat, stable ground, away from flammable objects, tents, sleeping bags, etc. Keep the minimum safe distance between the heater and surrounding objects, such as 250 cm at the outlet, 125 cm on both sides, top and back.
Keep ventilation: When using the heater, ensure that the camping site has good ventilation conditions to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not use the heater in a closed tent unless the tent has a special vent.
Refuel correctly: After the kerosene heater cools down, refuel correctly according to the requirements of the manual. Check the oil pipe and the oil pipe connection for leaks to ensure that there is no leakage after refueling.
Ignition and extinguishing: Ignite correctly according to the requirements of the manual, and avoid using open flames to directly ignite kerosene. When you need to extinguish the flame, operate correctly according to the requirements of the manual to ensure that the flame is completely extinguished.
Regular cleaning: During use, regularly clean the burner, fuel tank and other parts of the heater to avoid carbon accumulation and blockage. When cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush to avoid scratching the parts with hard objects.
Check the parts: Regularly check whether the various parts of the heater are intact. If there is any damage or wear, replace them in time.
Storage precautions: After camping, clean and dry the kerosene heater. Store the heater in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Avoid prolonged use: Prolonged use of the heater may cause the device to overheat or run out of fuel, increasing safety hazards. Take regular breaks to allow the heater time to cool down and refuel.
Stay alert: When using a kerosene heater, stay alert to the surrounding environment and promptly detect and deal with potential safety hazards.
Comply with regulations: Comply with the relevant regulations and restrictions of the campsite and ensure that the use of the heater meets local safety standards.
