Get a manual for a Corona sx3 kerosene portable heater

Here are some general operating instructions for the Corona SX3 kerosene portable heater:
  1. Fill the heater tank with kerosene. Make sure the heater is placed on a flat and stable surface before filling.
  2. Turn the wick adjustment knob to the lowest setting.
  3. Open the fuel cap and use a funnel to fill the tank with kerosene up to the maximum fill line.
  4. Close the fuel cap and let the wick soak in the kerosene for at least 10 minutes before lighting.
  5. After the wick has soaked for 10 minutes, use a lighter or match to light the wick at the top.
  6. Adjust the wick height to the desired level using the wick adjustment knob. The higher the wick, the more heat the heater will produce.
  7. Keep the heater away from flammable materials and make sure it is not placed near any open flames or heat sources.
  8. Use the shut-off switch to turn off the heater when you are finished using it.
Unfortunately, I could not find a specific manual for the Corona SX3 kerosene portable heater online. If you have any other questions or concerns about operating the heater, you may want to contact the manufacturer directly for further assistance.

Heater used once 3 yrs ago. Now wont start.

When the heater hums is the fan turning. If it is I would add more Kerosene. There is no shut off but the Kerosene is sucked out a tube from the top of the tank. This tube does not reach quite all the way to the bottom of the tank. Your heater should hold about 9 gallons if it is empty. A couple of gallons would give it plenty to run though. Let me know.
