Frequently asked questions

The older M-Series models used a rotary vane compressor, while the newer models use a diaphragm compressor. The Rotary Vane Compressor serial numbers range from 500000 to 699999, while the Diaphragm Compressor serial numbers range from 700000 to 704999. You can find more information on page D-1.

The maximum operating temperature of the coolant is 185°F (85°C).

The PROHEAT has three modes of operation: Standard, Preheat, and Supplemental. The Standard mode is for normal operation of the heater. The Preheat mode is activated via a momentary contact push button switch and the heater only operates for 90 minutes. The Supplemental mode is used while the vehicle is operating to provide supplemental heat. The Supplemental mode overrides the Preheat mode, and the coolant pump does not run when the heater is not firing in this mode. To identify which modes are wired for operation, refer to the installation wiring diagram and compare it to the drawing in Section 1.2 Electrical.

Several safety precautions should be taken when working near the PROHEAT. Do not operate the heater where combustible fumes or airborne particles are present. Avoid operating the heater during fueling operations. Do not smoke or handle open flame equipment near fuel or the PROHEAT. Do not place any flammable items around the heater and exhaust pipe. Wear hand and eye protection when working near batteries. Avoid smoking or using open flames near batteries. Wear eye and hand protection when working with fuel or coolant, as they are toxic. Do not breathe in vapors.
