metric and approximate SAE equivalents in brackets eg 25mm (1”).
Safety instructions for application and
proper purpose
The heater must only be used and operated for the range of
application stated by the manufacturer in compliance with the
“Operating instructions” included with ever y heater.
Direct questions to Espar Heater Systems:
Warning - Asphyxiation Hazard
• Route the heater exhaust so that exhaust fumes cannot
enter any passenger compartments.
• If running exhaust components through an enclosed compartment, ensure that it is vented to the outside.
Warning - Safety Hazard on Coolant Heaters
Used With Improper Antifreeze Mixtures
• The use of Espar coolant heaters requires that the coolant
in the system to be heated contains a proper mixture of
water and antifreeze to prevent coolant from freezing or
slushing.
• If the coolant becomes slushy or frozen, the heater’s
coolant pump cannot move the coolant causing a blockage of the circulating system. Once this occurs, pressure
will build up rapidly in the heater and the coolant hose will
either burst or blow off at the connection point to the
heater.
• This situation could cause engine damage and/or personal injury. Extreme care should be taken to ensure a proper mixture of water and antifreeze is used in the coolant
system.
• Refer to the engine manufacturer’s or coolant manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific requirements.

Heater Location
Always mount the heater in a protected area.Eg: storage compartment, engine compar tments, step box or battery box.
Espar recommends you use the boxed unit. Refer to fig. 1
When mounting the heater adhere to the following conditions:
• Situate the heater below the normal coolant level of the engine.
• Guard against excessive road spray.
• Keep coolant hoses, fuel lines and electrical wiring as short
as possible.
Arrangement of the heater
Parts of the structure and other components near the heater
must be protected from excess heat exposure and possible
contamination from fuel or oil.
The heater must not pose a fire hazard even when it
overheats.
– This requirement is deemed to be fulfilled when
adequate clearance to all parts is observed during
installation, sufficient ventilation is provided and fireproof
materials or heat plates are used.
The heater must not be located in the passenger compartment.
A unit may however be used in a hermetically sealed housing
which also corresponds to the conditions stated above.
The factory nameplate or duplicate must be affixed so that it
can still be easily read when the heater is installed in the
vehicle.
All appropriate precautions must be taken when
arranging the heater to minimise the risk of injuries
to persons or damage to other property.
Heater Mounting
Mount the heater using the four (4) shock mounts provided
with kit and one of the following mounting methods:
• Use the Side Mount Bracket to mount the heater on the
side of the fr
• Use a spare step box or battery box.
• Use the saddle bracket and hardware provided

Heater Plumbing
The heater is incorporated into the engine’s cooling system for
engine preheating.
Caution: It is possible for the coolant and components of the
coolant circuit to get very hot.
Engine Plumbing
Follow these guidelines and refer to the engine plumbing diag r am
shown below.
• Install hose fittings into the engine block for pick-up and return
lines.
• Use existing holes in the engine block (ie. remove
blanking plugs when possible).
• Use shut off valves to ensure the system can be isolated from
the engine when not in use. Alternatively “T” piece connectors
in existing coolant hoses can be used if no blanking plugs are
available.
• Provide 20mm (3/4” ) hose barbs for hose connections.
• Use 20mm (3/4” ) hoses to ensure adequate coolant flow.
• Keep the pick up and return points as far apart as possible to
ensure good heat distribution.
Water out
Water in
• Take the coolant from a low point on the engine to reduce
aeration in the system.
• Ensure proper direction of coolant flow by taking coolant from a
high pressure point in the engine and returning it to a low pressure point. (ie. pickup from back of block and retur n to the
suction side of the engine's water pump).
• Ensure adequate flow rate through the heater b y comparing the
incoming and outgoing coolant temperatures while the heater is
running. If the rise in temperature exceeds 10°C (18°F), coolant
flow must be increased by modifying the plumbing.
• Ensure the heater and water pump are installed as low as pos
sible to allow the purging of air.
• If a bunk heat exchanger is incor porated into the system,
proper plumbing layouts must be followed.
• Parts conveying water must be routed and fastened in such
a way that they pose no temperature risk to man, animals or
material sensitive to temperature from radiation / direct
contact.
• Before working on the coolant circuit, switch the heater off
and wait until all components have cooled down completely,
if necessary where safety gloves.
Caution:
• When installing the heater, please take note of the direction
w of the coolant circuit.
of flo
• Fill the heater and water hoses with coolant before con-
necting to the coolant circuit.
• Route the water hoses without any kinks, and in a rising
position if possible.
• When routing the water pipes, observe a sufficient clea-
rance to hot vehicle parts.
• Protect all water hoses / water pipes from chafing and from
extreme temperatures.
• Secure all hose connections with hose clips.
• After the vehicle has been operating for 2 hours or travelled
100 km, tighten the hose clips again.
• The minimum water flow rate is only guaranteed if the tem
perature difference of the heating medium does not exceed
15°C
(60°C)
between water inlet and water outlet during
heating.
• Only overpressure valves with an opening pressure of min.
6 psi – max. 30 psi bar may be used in the coolant circuit.
• The coolant liquid must contain at least 10 % antifreeze all
year round as corrosion protection.
• The cooling liquid must contain sufficient antifreeze for low
temperatures.
• Before commissioning the heater or after changing the
cooling liquid, the whole coolant circuit including heater must
be vented free of bubb les according to the instructions issued
by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Only top up with coolant approved by the vehicle manufac-
turer.

Caution: The coolant must contain a minimum of 10%
antifreeze at all times as protection against
corrosion.
Fresh water will corrode internal heater parts.
• The exhaust outlet must end in the open air.
• The exhaust pipe must not protrude beyond the lateral limits of
the vehicle.
• Install the exhaust pipe sloping slightly downwards.
If necessary, make a drain hole approx. Ø 5 mm at the lowest
point to drain off condensation.
• Important functional parts of the vehicle must not be impaired
(keep sufficient clearance).
• Mount the exhaust pipe with sufficient clearance to heat-sensitive parts. Pay particular attention to fuel pipes (plastic or
metal), electrical cables and brake hoses etc.!
• Exhaust pipes must be fastened safely (recommended clearance of 50 cm) to avoid damage from vibrations.
• Route the exhaust system so that the emitted fumes are not
sucked in with the combustion air.
• The mouth of the exhaust pipe must not get clogged by dirt
and snow.
• The mouth of the exhaust pipe must not point in the direction
of travel.
• Always fasten silencer to the vehicle.
• The e xhaust end pipe should be much shorter than the flexib le
exhaust pipe from the heater to the exhaust silencer.
Note:
The heater is approved for operation with biodiesel up to a temperature of – 8°C (17.5°F) (the flowability reduces at temperatures below 0 °C (35°F)).
• When using 100 % biodiesel, the heater should be run on diesel fuel twice a year (in the middle and at the end of a heating
period) to burn off possibly accumulated biodiesel deposits.To do so, let the vehicle tank run almost empty and fill with diesel fuel
without adding any biodiesel. While running on this tank filling, switch the heater on 2 to 3 times for 30 minutes at a time at the
highest temperature setting.
• If constantly operated with diesel / biodiesel mixtures of up to 50 % biodiesel, intermediate operation with pure diesel fuel is not
necessary.
Both heaters are not approved for operation with biodiesel. Up to 10 % biodiesel may be added.

Exhaust Connection
A 30 mm flexible tube e xhaust pipe with a length of 1M long is supplied with the kit for the exhaust. An exhaust clamp is needed to
secure the exhaust to the the heater.The exhaust hose cannot be
any longer than 2 m. Connect the exhaust as follows:
• Connect the exhaust pipe to the exhaust port on the heater and
attach with clamp provided. Feed the exhaust pipe through the
silicone (white) grommet on the bottom of the box.
• Run exhaust to an open area to the rear or side of the vehicle so
that fumes can not build up and enter the passenger compartment or the heater combustion air intake.
• Install exhaust pipe with a slight slope or drill a small hole in the
lowest point to allow water to run off.Any restriction in exhaust
