Cub 200/300/300 HD Operation
3 Operation
3.1 System Description
The Cub series Air Heater machines are indirect-fired air heaters. The
Cub series Air Heater machines incorporate aluminized steel shells
and heat exchangers. The machines run on three fuel options: diesel,
Kerosene, or winter blend diesel (winter blend diesel is treated with
anti-gelling conditioners for use in cold weather). The fuel is consumed
in a closed combustion chamber. The exhaust gasses must be vented
outdoors through a vent pipe. The clean, dry hot air is recirculated by
means of an enclosed blower.
The Cub series Air Heater machines are intended to heat air on
construction sites and in other rugged environments. Do not use the
machines for any other purpose.
3.2 Installing the Lift Brackets
See graphic ghi_gr005931
Before attempting to lift the Cub 200 and 300 models, the lift brackets
must be installed.
3.2.1 Remove the machine from the crate.
3.2.2 Intstall the four lift brackets (a) as shown using the supplied bolts and
washers.

3.4 Mounting the Handle and Base Assembly
See graphics: wcghi_003991 and ghi_gr005319
The Cub series Air Heater machines are shipped partially assembled.
Before operating either machine, use the following procedure to mount
the handles and base assembly. This assembly includes the handle,
base support, and wheels with axles.
Note: There are pre-drilled bolt holes for all the components installed
within this procedure.
Note: The Cub 300 HD requires that only the handle be attached.
Refer to the procedure below to install the handle.
3.4.1 Attach the axles to the sides of the fuel tank using the supplied bolts
and washers.
3.4.2 Install the wheels using a rubber mallet to secure them to the axle
ends.
3.4.3 Attach the base support to the rear of the fuel tank using the supplied
bolts and washers.
3.4.4 Attach the handle to the machine using the supplied bolts (and
washers, if applicable).

3.5 Machine Location
The Air Heater machines may be located outdoors or in any
environment that requires heating. When locating a machine within the
area to be heated, the exhaust gases must be vented to the outdoors.
The machines must be installed:
• By qualified personnel who have read and understood all
supplied instructions.
• On a flat, firm surface.
• With the following minimum clearances:
• 3.05 m (10 ft.) to front.
• 0.61 m (2 ft.) to rear.
• 0.61 m (2 ft.) to sides.
• 1.52 m (5 ft.) to top.
• 0.915 m (3 ft.) to flue pipe.
3.6 Suggested Venting
See Graphic: wcghi_gr003990
Exhaust gas from this machine CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. The
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly poison you can not see
or smell. This machine must be properly vented to reduce the risk of
WARNING
carbon monoxide poisoning.
When installing vents:
• Adhere to all local and national codes.
• Consult all appropriate governing bodies or local contractor for
venting and fresh air requirements.
• Place the machine in a manner that avoids excessive vent bends
(elbows), and long horizontal runs.
• Keep air inlets and outlets free from obstruction.
• Route the venting pipes in a manner that avoids any flammable
material.
• Route the venting pipes in a manner that avoids contact with
humans.

3.7 Connecting Power to the Machine
Fire and electric shock hazard. High voltage can cause severe injury
or death. This unit must be electrically grounded. Do NOT use
adapters.
WARNING
The Air Heater machines come equipped with power cords. Connect
the power cord to a grounded outlet rated for 115V, 60 Hz, 15A.
3.8 Preliminary Checks
Before starting the machine, check the following:
• Fuel supply on diesel burning machines. See Fuel Blend Guide.
• Position of power switch. It must be in the Off (“O”) position.
• Power supply. The machine must be connected to a 115V 60Hz
power supply.
• Machine location. Ensure that the machine is properly located
according to the Machine Location guidelines in this manual.
• Remote thermostat connection. If the remote thermostat will not
be used, the remote thermostat receptacle cover must be
installed.
