2. Safety Instructions

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death.

• Proper Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the heater. The exhaust gases must be discharged externally to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Never operate the heater in an enclosed, unventilated space.
• Fuel Handling: Use only diesel fuel. Do not use gasoline or other volatile fuels. Ensure the fuel cap is securely sealed to prevent leaks, especially during transport or on uneven surfaces.
• Overheat Protection: The heater is equipped with an overheat shutoff mechanism (≥536℉ / 280℃). Do not obstruct air intake or exhaust vents.
• Electrical Safety: Connect the heater to a compatible DC 12V or 24V power source. Ensure correct polarity. The unit includes reverse polarity and overvoltage protection.
• Exhaust System: Always use the provided exhaust pipe heat sleeve to reduce the risk of heat damage to surrounding surfaces. Ensure the exhaust pipe is routed away from flammable materials and vehicle components.
• Placement: Place the heater on a stable, non-flammable surface. Maintain a safe distance from combustible materials.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the heater during operation.
• Altitude: The heater performs well below 9,842 ft (3000 m) elevation. Operation at higher altitudes may affect performance.
• Emergency Shut-off: Familiarize yourself with the emergency shut-off procedure.

4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your diesel heater. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Choose a Location: Select a stable, flat, and non-flammable surface for the heater. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the unit for proper airflow and to prevent heat damage to surrounding materials.
2. Mounting: Secure the heater using the provided mounting screws for the base. This prevents accidental tipping.
3. Fueling: Fill the integrated 1.3-gallon (5L) fuel tank with clean diesel fuel. Ensure the spill-proof cap is tightly secured after fueling to prevent leaks. The fuel tank has a scale to monitor fuel levels.
4. Intake Pipe Installation: Connect the intake pipe to the designated port on the heater. Ensure it is securely fastened with clamps.
5. Exhaust System Installation:
   • Attach the exhaust pipe to the heater's exhaust port.
   • Install the silencer onto the exhaust pipe.
   • Crucially, route the exhaust pipe externally, ensuring all exhaust gases are discharged outside the heated space.
   • Apply the heat-insulating protective sleeve over the exhaust pipe, especially where it might come into contact with surfaces or pass through openings, to prevent burns and heat damage. Secure with clamps.
   • Use the exhaust pipe hangers to support the exhaust system and maintain proper clearance.
6. Air Outlet Duct: Connect the air outlet duct to the hot air output port and direct it towards the area to be heated.
7. Electrical Connection: Connect the heater to a DC 12V or 24V power source. Observe correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
