Dri-Eaz Dragon 3600 Manuel Du Propriétaire page 4

In freezing conditions, see "Cold weather
recommendations," p. 3.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline or crankcase
drainings for fuel.
NOTICE: Do open the fuel cap or fill the tank
while the unit is operating.
Attach exhaust stack
Before operating the Dragon, affix the
provided exhaust stack with rain cap to the
flue opening by slipping the stack over the flue
opening (Fig. A). If the stack does not fit
snugly, drive small sheet metal screws through
the base of the stack into the exhaust outlet to
secure the stack. To prevent damage to the
unit, remove the stack when transporting the
Dragon.
NOTICE: Do not operate the Dragon without the
exhaust stack in place.
Install ducting
1. Attach the ducting on the heated air outlet (Fig. A)
and secure it with the clamp provided.
2. Place the other end of the ducting into a suitable
inlet in the structure.
Place thermostat sensor
Place the thermostat sensor into the space being
heated. For more accurate control, we recommend
placing the sensor in an area where the air is flowing
freely. The burner will automatically turn off when the
temperature in the monitored area reaches the
setpoint, or a maximum of 105°F (41°C), in order to
help operators comply with the RIA Safe Harbor
clause.
Plug in unit
Use an extension cord to connect the unit to a 115V
circuit rated for at least 15 amps. The cord plug will
glow when electricity is present.
OPERATING THE DRAGON
Inspect before operation
WARNING! Before starting the Dragon:
• Check for any fuel leaks around the fuel tank or
fuel lines.
• Check for nearby hazards like combustible
materials or flammable vapor sources.
• Check the power cord for damage.
Correct these and any other safety hazards before
starting the Dragon.
Starting the Dragon
1. Check the fuel tank. See Fuel Type (see p. 3) for
fuel requirements.

2. Turn the CONTROL KNOB to the Heat position
(Fig. C).
You will hear the burner ignite. The burner will operate
a few minutes until the internal heat exchanger
reaches operating temperature. Then the fan will turn
on and the unit will begin producing heat.
NOTE: It is normal to see a small amount of smoke
when starting or stopping the unit. If smoke continues
for more than a few seconds, turn of the unit and see
"Adjusting for proper combustion and altitude," p. 5.
NOTE: At temperatures of 35°F (2°C) or below, wait
25–30 minutes after plugging in the unit before turning
the CONTROL KNOB to Heat. This allows time for the
burner nozzle preheater to bring the fuel up to the
correct operating temperature.
NOTICE. Monitor the settings on the Dragon and
conditions in the structure at least once a day to
ensure proper operation.
Controlling the temperature
Set the desired temperature F on the THERMOSTAT
control from a range of 70–105°F (21–41°C).
Continuous Fan-Only operation
To provide continuous unheated air, set the
CONTROL KNOB to the Fan postion. The burner does
not operate in this mode.
NOTICE: Physically check the Dragon at least once a
day during operation. Check for leaks, and observe the
exhaust smoke to ensure that it is still clear. Adjust as
necessary for proper operation.
Turning the unit off
Turn the CONTROL KNOB to the "Off" position.
