1. INTRODUCTION ◆ The SF2300 and SF4200 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.
2. Main parts of SF2300 and SF4200 Air Heater 2.1 Operation ◆ The fuel pump delivers fuel to the heater injector. The injector evaporates the fuel and delivers the vapors into the combustion chamber where it is mixed with combustion air. The igniter ignites the fuel-air mixture.

3. Installation 3.1 Heater Installation ◆ Select the location to place the heater, most of the time the heater is installed on the floor or side wall under the bed in the truck storage compartment or under the seat in passenger vans in order for the heater exhaust fumes to be exhausted directly to the outside of the cabin or passengers space, and the warm air can be easy distributed throughout the cabin.
