Operating Principle and Use of SF2300 Air Heaters The SF2300 air heaters are designed to be used as auxiliary heaters for trucks, RVs, boats, construction and farm equipment. The heaters will provide heat and keep a comfortable air temperature for the operator (driver) cab, small RV, passenger vans, mini buses, boats, etc for a fraction of the cost in comparison to engine idling.
◆ Operation The fuel pump delivers fuel to the heater atomizer. The glow pin ignites the fuel-air mixture. Burning fuel heats up the heat exchanger. The heat is transferred into circulating air through the heat exchanger, and then the warm air circulates through the truck cabin or sleeper berth keeping it warm.
◆ Please Note: Failure to comply with the regulations, safety instructions, repairs done by unauthorized person, or use of aftermarket parts voids warranty and relieves manufacture, distributors, dealers, and installation technicians from any and all liabilities. ·The installer is responsible for all damages to the property or person that arises from faulty installation of the heater.

WARNING Carbon monoxide monitoring sensor with alarm shall be installed in all passenger compartments, operator or driver cabin, and sleeper berth. Technical data and specifications Model SF2300 Heating value Super High Medium (±10%) Btu/hr (kW) 7850 (2.3) 6485 (1.9) 4437 (1.3) 3072 (0.9)
Choosing Heater Location and Position Most of the time the heater is installed on the floor under the bed in the truck storage compartment, or under the seat in passenger vans or mini busses. ◆ Tolerable swivel range Depending on the installation conditions, swivel angles should be as shown below: Note: The glow pin→shall face upward.

Prevent possibility of sucking the engine or heater exhaust fumes into the heater. Prevent the warm air to be directly sucked back into the cold air return. Use only temperature-resistant hose (flex) for the hot air. Install protective cover over the heater if there is possibility that the heater may by touched by passenger (s) or operator when heater is using to prevent personal injury and also protect the heater from possible damage from cargo or contact with flammable materials.
The entire exhaust system gets very hot during operation and immediately after the heater has been working. Keep the exhaust system parts away from any flammable materials; wires, hoses, fuel lines, carpets, plastics, brake lines, etc. Maintain at least 1/2” air gap between the exhaust pipe and sheet metal walls in order to prevent the heat transferring through the metal and damaging materials on the other side of the wall.

◆ Mounting of fuel intake system Install method Drill 31/32” (24mm) hole in appropriate location in top of fuel tank, as shown figure 1: Mount the fuel intake system and fuel pump, as shown figure 2, 3 ◆ Please note: When drilling into the fuel tank, take precautions to prevent possible sparks from electric tools (ground all tools).
Operating Instructions Before starting the heater, perform a safety check: all components must be firmly fastened, check for fuel leaks. Bleed fuel line and prime fuel pump.

air), the overheating sensor is triggered, the fuel supply is interrupted and the heater turns OFF. Once the overheating has been eliminated, the heater can be restarted manually by turning OFF and ON again. If the heater has been switched OFF and ON too many times in short period of time, the controller will lock, wait for about 15 mins and turn the heater ON again.
