Nose not getting red just a little
You need to adjust air/fuel mixture. At the back of the heater there is a plastic slotted set screw. That is the air mixture adjustment screw. Turn it in clockwise a 1/4 turn at a time until the nose cone gets to be about 90% reddish orange. The heater should also burn cleaner. Hope this helps.

When plugg in fan turns about a 1 second and
sounds like an ignition problem. The fan is supposed to start first to get the airflow going, then the igniter should heat up (glow igniters) or start sparking (spark plug igniters), then the fuel starts pumping. If the igniter is not working the fuel won't start. Things to check....
igniter - see if it is intact, fuse (usually in the circuit board), If those are ok, then check fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter. Hope this helps.

My reddy heater 125t starts fine but only runs for
Read your manual....it will explain why and what happens when not done.Your machine ( which I have ) requires a 11" opening of fresh air in a garage. I use a fan sideways behind the machine and that seems to work without having to open the door, also helps circulate the heat at the ceiling.

Is it okay to burn Premium Diesel instead of Kero?
yes its ok, just make sure the air pressure pump is dialed in right. With the right air pressure the heater will perform at its best and burn as clean as it can. Its the slotted set screw (plastic usually) on the back next to the air filter. Turn it in 1/4 turn at a time till the nose cone is almost all red or orange in color. This will give you the cleanest burn. Then adjust doors/windows for fresh air as needed. Hope this helps

Will not fire with cover attached
Bend brackit on photo eye so that it gets a better view of the flame. When cover is on the flame will move farther to the end of the heater. You can test this by holding the eye in your hand and pointing it at the flame. I had the same problem. Hope this helps.

170T will not kick on when I plug it in and turn
I have a 125t that would do a similar thing, found out that on the board a micro resistor or diode whatever would short and fry the board. Check your board carefully following the lead from the igniter wires. Hopefully that is not the problem because then its a new $$$$$ board!

Starts then shuts off
if it starts and shuts off the flame sensor is dirty. Take cover off and clean flame sensor with scotch brite. If it dosen't light at all you have an igniton problem
