3. **Install Exhaust System:**

   Connect the flexible exhaust pipe to the exhaust port on the heater unit. Secure it with a clamp. Then, attach the muffler to the other end of the exhaust pipe, also securing it with a clamp. Ensure the exhaust system is routed away from flammable materials and living spaces.

4. **Connect Fuel Line:**

   Connect the fuel line from the fuel pump (located inside the unit) to the fuel intake on the heater. Ensure all connections are secure and free from leaks. The fuel pump should be installed vertically to ensure proper operation.

5. **Attach Air Intake Pipe:**

   Connect the air intake pipe to the air intake port on the heater. Secure it with a clamp. This pipe draws in fresh air for combustion.
6. **Power Connection:**

   Connect the 12V power cables to a suitable power source. Ensure correct polarity (red for positive, black for negative) and a secure connection to prevent electrical issues. Refer to the label on the back of the unit for specific voltage and power requirements.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your diesel air parking heater.

• **Fuel Quality:** Always use clean, high-quality diesel fuel. Poor fuel quality can lead to blockages and reduced efficiency.
• **Fuel Filter:** Periodically check and clean or replace the fuel filter to prevent contaminants from reaching the combustion chamber.
• **Air Intake and Exhaust:** Ensure the air intake and exhaust pipes are clear of obstructions (e.g., dirt, debris, snow). Blockages can impair combustion and lead to overheating.
• **General Cleaning:** Keep the exterior of the heater clean. Avoid spraying water directly onto the unit, especially the electrical components.
• **Electrical Connections:** Regularly inspect all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
• **Storage:** If storing the heater for an extended period, ensure the fuel tank is empty or filled with fresh fuel and consider running it briefly before storage to clear any old fuel from the lines.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your heater, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• **Heater Not Starting:**
  • Check 12V power supply: Ensure it's connected correctly and providing sufficient voltage.
  • Check fuel level: Make sure there is enough diesel in the tank.
  • Inspect fuel line: Look for kinks, blockages, or air bubbles.
  • Verify electrical connections: Ensure all wires are securely connected.
• **Low Heat Output:**
  • Check air intake/exhaust: Ensure they are not blocked.
  • Clean fuel filter: A clogged filter can restrict fuel flow.
  • Adjust temperature settings: Increase the desired temperature on the LCD panel or remote.
• **Excessive Smoke/Odor:**
  • Check fuel quality: Use clean, appropriate diesel fuel.
  • Inspect exhaust system: Ensure it's properly installed and not leaking.
  • Check for blockages: Clear any obstructions in the air intake or exhaust.
• **Unusual Noise:**
  • Check for loose components: Ensure all parts are securely fastened.
  • Inspect fan: Make sure nothing is obstructing the fan's movement.
• **Error Codes on LCD:**

  Refer to the specific error code meanings in the full product manual (if available) or contact customer support for assistance.
