Draining the internal fuel tank 

You may occasionally need to drain the internal fuel 
tank for shipping or storage. The Dragon is equipped
with a fuel tank drain plug on the bottom of the unit 
near the wheel axle. 

The internal fuel tank drain plug

WARNING!

Diesel fuel is flammable and potentially 

explosive. Always turn off and unplug the Dragon
before draining the internal fuel tank. Do not smoke
while draining fuel. Keep away from open flame.

1.  Place an appropriate container beneath the drain 

plug to catch any remaining fuel oil. 

2.  Remove the drain plug with a wrench.

3.  Allow the internal fuel tank to drain completely.

4.  Screw the drain plug back into the Dragon.

Tighten with a wrench.

5.  Dispose of excess fuel oil in accordance with local

regulations.

Using the Dragon as a ventilator 

The Dragon may also be used purely as a ventilator to
deliver clean, unheated air to an affected area. 

NOTICE:

 If you are ventilating spaces adjacent to 

living areas, you must still create a negative pressure 
in the affected area. This will help prevent
contaminants from being forced into clean areas. See 
the section "Establishing negative air pressure" for
more information.

1.  Set up the Dragon as directed in the section
"Setting up the Dragon." However, you do not need
to add fuel, attach the flue, or connect the remote 
thermostat. As a ventilator the Dragon will operate on
electricity alone.

2.  Turn the FAN switch to “On.”

MAINTENANCE

Replacing the fuel intake filter

The fuel intake filter should be replaced at least once
every year. Depending on the quality of fuel oil and the
frequency of use, the fuel intake filter may need to be
replaced more frequently.

You will need: 

x

 Phillips 

screwdriver

x

Clean shop rags 

1.  Remove the housing cover for the fuel pump/blower

assembly and the fuel line guard plate. To do this, 
remove the six Phillips screws that secure the 
housing cover and guard plate.

Remove the fuel pump/blower assembly housing and guard plate
