Page 10: Heater Mounting
Heater Mounting Heater Location Typically, air heaters are mounted inside a tool compartment with the OEM HVAC System. However, the heater may be mounted anywhere inside the cabin provided you adhere to the following conditions: • Combustion air intake, exhaust and fuel inlet connections must be on outside of the vehicle. - Page 11 Heater Mounting Mounting • A mounting plate and hardware are provided with the truck heater kit. • Refer to Figures M2 & M3 for assembly orientation. Note: If the mounting plate will not be used, the heater ange can be used as a template to mark where the individual components openings should be made.

Page 13: Fuel System
Fuel System Overview The 55AG fuel pump and fuel system are the heart of the heater. The fuel pump not only delivers fuel to the heater but also controls the amount of fuel delivered. The pump is designed to operate like an electric solenoid and works using electric pulses. - Page 14 Fuel System Connecting the Fuel System Caution Fuel systems in gasoline vehicles are sealed and electronically monitored to contain fuel vapors. When integrating the heater, you must ensure that you do not disrupt the integrity of the fuel system. Installation should only be completed by a competent technician familiar with the fuel system of the vehicle. Due to the in nite variations of fuel systems used in Gasoline powered vehicles, it is impossible to provide a standard fuel pickup device or procedure that works for every application.
- Page 15 Fuel System Auxiliary Fuel Port Method In some instances, the vehicle may have an auxiliary fuel port. It is possible to use this as fuel tank access. Consult the vehicle dealer for appropriate connections to adapt to our 4.5 mm rubber fuel line. Tee Into Fuel Line Method (NOT RECOMMENDED) Parking Heater Products recommends against Teeing into the vehicles fuel line.
- Page 16 Fuel System Auxiliary Fuel Tank Method Auxiliary fuel tanks can be used in some cases as a solution for di cult to access fuel tanks. However, these are not certi ed for on-road use. Standard Fuel Pickup Method (Metal tank only) Standard fuel pickup pipes can be installed in larger metal tanks only.
- Page 17 Fuel System Fuel Filter • An optional fuel lter is provided with your installation kit. • If used, it should be replaced every two years. • Mount between the fuel pump and tank. • Mount on an incline to allow air to pass through. •...

Page 31: Heater Ducting
Heater Ducting Hot Air Ducting Distribute heat e ciently throughout the cabin by using the high temperature, 90mm ex-ducting and rotatable outlet and return air inlet provided in the installation kit. IMPORTANT NOTE: The heater uses a temperature sensor on the inlet side of the heater to regulate the cabin temperature. Use return air ducting for best heating regulation and e ciency. -
Page 32: Heater Operation
Heater Operation 55AG Operation Note: It is important to understand that this heater does not simply turn on and turn o . Rather, it has a sophisticated operating system similar to a household furnace to provide reliable heating comfort. The operator should familiarize themselves with the normal operation of the heater. - Page 33 Heater Operation “Vent Mode” Runs the blower fan only to provide cabin ventilation. The operator can adjust the fan speed in a range from 1-7. Note: Running the fan in vent mode for extended periods will diminish the life expectancy of the motor. Automatic Start Times The heater can has the capability of starting and running automatically with pre de ned start up and run times.
- Page 34 Heater Operation Safety Systems The heater is equipped with several control features to protect itself and the operator. Systems Check: The heater will not attempt to start if one of the components is detected by the control unit to be defective.
