Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and efficient operation of your Sunster 12/24V 8KW All-in-One Diesel Air Heater. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use to ensure proper function and longevity of the product.
Safety Information

- Ensure the outdoor exhaust pipe is clear of flammable materials and has sufficient empty space around it.
- Do not force power off midway during operation. Allow the machine to complete its shutdown cycle to properly dissipate heat.
- The heater includes multiple protections such as overheating prevention, short circuit prevention, reverse connection prevention, and overvoltage prevention.
- Ensure proper ventilation when operating the heater.

- Unpacking: Carefully open the box and verify all contents against the package list.
- Secure Placement: Install the base clips on the heater. Place the heater on a stable, elevated surface (e.g., wood blocks) and secure it in place using screws.
- Exhaust Pipe Installation: Connect the exhaust pipe. Ensure it is routed away from the oil pipe and leads directly to the outside. Maintain a safe distance from any flammable materials.
- Intake Pipe and Air Filter Installation: Attach the intake pipe and air filter. Secure them with clamps.
- Power Connection: Connect the power supply. The red wire is positive, and the black wire is negative. The heater supports both 12/24V DC and 110-240V AC power sources.
- Fueling: Add diesel fuel to the tank.
Important Note:
The machine will automatically dissipate heat for half an hour after being turned off. Do not force power off midway, as this can prevent proper heat discharge and potentially damage the unit.
