Precautions for using parking heater

1、 Ventilation and Carbon Monoxide Protection
Avoid using enclosed spaces: Do not activate parking heaters in enclosed environments such as garages to prevent insufficient oxygen or accumulation of exhaust gases (such as carbon monoxide).
Exhaust pipe installation specifications: Ensure that the exhaust pipe is kept away from the cab and the exhaust port is installed facing backwards to avoid blowing harmful gases into the car against the wind23.
Window gap: When used at night, it is necessary to keep the window gap ventilated to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Alarm device: It is recommended to install a carbon monoxide alarm in the cab to provide timely warning when exceeding the limit.
2、 Fuel and Circuit Safety
Fuel specifications: Use diesel that meets specifications to avoid impurities or leaks; Fuel storage should be kept away from open flames and high temperature sources.
Circuit inspection: Confirm the power matching of the vehicle circuit before installation to avoid overload or short circuit; The power cord needs to be equipped with a fuse 16 of 15A or less.
3、 Installation specifications
Location selection: Prioritize installation under the engine compartment or chassis, away from the cab and flammable components, to avoid friction and collision.
Professional installation: Qualified maintenance workers must be selected through formal channels to ensure that pipeline modifications meet safety standards.
4、 Operation and maintenance
Startup and shutdown:
Before starting, check whether the fuel, circuit, and pipeline connections are normal. For the first installation, it is necessary to open them multiple times to eliminate the air in the oil circuit.
Stop the heater operation before turning off the water pump power.
Regular maintenance:
Before each heating season, it is necessary to check the circuit, intake/exhaust pipes, and filter status, and promptly clean up blockages.
Long term shutdown requires running for about 10 minutes per month to prevent mechanical component failure.
5、 Other precautions
Child safety: Children are prohibited from touching the control panel to avoid danger caused by accidental operation.
Legal modification: Priority should be given to selecting the parking heater and other configurations provided by the original vehicle manufacturer to reduce the risk of later installation.
