Proper setup is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your diesel heater. Follow these steps carefully:
-
Col·locació:
Choose a stable, level, and well-ventilated location for the heater. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the unit for proper airflow and to prevent fire hazards. The heater is suitable for use in vans, boats, RVs, and small indoor spaces. Avoid placing it near flammable materials.
Figura 4: Examples of suitable applications for the heater.
-
Combustible:
The heater features an integrated fuel tank. Carefully fill the tank with diesel oil. Ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened after filling to prevent leaks.
-
Exhaust and Intake System Installation:
Connect the intake pipe to the designated intake port on the heater and the exhaust pipe to the exhaust port. Secure them with the provided clamps. Install the exhaust silencer onto the exhaust pipe. Ensure the exhaust pipe is routed safely away from the heated area and any flammable materials, and that exhaust fumes cannot re-enter the heated space.
-
Connexió de sortida d'aire:
Attach the air outlet pipe to the heater's hot air outlet. Direct the hot air flow as desired within the space to be heated.
-
Connexió elèctrica:
Connect the heater to a 12V or 24V power source using the provided connection holder (wiring harness). Ensure the polarity is correct and the connection is secure. The heater is designed for universal 12V/24V operation.
-
Initial Startup (Priming):
Before the first use, or if the fuel tank has run dry, the fuel pump may need to be primed. This typically involves running the heater for a short period until fuel reaches the combustion chamber and stable operation begins. Refer to the LCD panel instructions for specific priming procedures if available.
