Fuel-Fired Heater

The Fuel-Fired Heater is a stand-alone unit that is controlled only by the
Sleeper Control Panel. It is located in front of the toolbox on the passenger's
side of the vehicle. It's design and function is similar to units used on other
Kenworth vehicles. The heater uses diesel fuel drawn from the vehicle's fuel
tank(s) to create heat.

Using the Air Conditioner

WARNING! Do not operate the sleeper air con-
ditioning system or ventilating system around
hazardous fumes or exhaust gases. Hazardous
fumes and exhaust fumes may be vented into
the sleeper compartment causing serious illness
that may lead to death. Do not park your vehicle
near other vehicles that are idling or where other
hazardous fumes may be present.
WARNING! Exhaust fumes from the engine con-
tain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless
gas. Do not breathe the engine exhaust gas. A
poorly maintained, damaged, or corroded exhaust
system can allow carbon monoxide to enter the
cab or sleeper. Entry of carbon monoxide into
the cab or sleeper is also possible from other ve-
hicles nearby. Failure to properly maintain your
vehicle could cause carbon monoxide to enter
the cab/sleeper and cause serious illness.
