Wiring diagram for Dayton IKRT9 portable electric heater

Trying to connect 240V 3Phase power to our (new to us) Dayton IKRT9 heater. Does anyone have a wiring diagram? We are OK with L1, L2, L3 and ground... but there are two loose small gauge (18 ga?) wires with ring lugs on the end just floating inside, and I don't know which terminal to connect them to. One is straight from the on/off switch, the other goes to a small connector just below L1/L2/L3 terminals. Can provide a picture or pictures.

Sounds like it's the on/off switch.
what colour are they. . Usually one is the power supply to the switch and the other will be the return from the switch to the load.

Check these wires with with a multi meter.

Dayton electric heater model 3UF94 can you rewire from 3phase 240v to singel phase 240v

You can wire any heater with elements to single phase because all heaters are single phase. It will require a larger feed because your amp draw is going to go up doing away with the third leg. You split the heaters up from 3 phase to 2 legs amp draw is going to go up 30 percent or so.

in or on the heater there should be terminals labelled R, W1, W2 if its a 2 stage and G for fan only operation hook up any color of wires as long as the W on the stat is hooked up with W on the heater and so forth but for heat only operation utilize the R and W terminals only.

I have 2-240V (4.2V) basebaord heaters, Need Wiring Diagram

you get 120V from any phase (black OR red) to neutral
you get 240V from phase to phase (between black and red) and in this scenario you don't need the white wire.
So for you, connect the black to 1 pole of the breaker and the red to the other pole, connect the green wire to the ground strip and you are done.
A white wire is NEVER connected to a circuit breaker anyway, it is a grounded wire, it would be like connecting a green wire to a black wire, bad idea.
the National electrical code specifies red and black wire color for 240VAC circuits.
As Ask Hank mentionned, nothing wrong with 10/3 wire.

Line voltage Tstat installation Dayton D-F79 elctric shop heater

If I understand your post correctly....You state that you are hooking up a 240v heater and towards the end you speak of removing jumpers...W2 terminals..ect. It sounds to me your trying to us a 24v low voltage thermostat instead of a Line voltage thermostat.That's what I'd take a look at.
