• Saves money by reducing
electrical costs since the
engine heater cycle time
is reduced
• Ensures engine start up
since desired temperatures
are maintained
• Accommodates trucks
entering or departing the
bay since no preset timer
is required
• Efficient heater operation
because the thermostat
measures the coolant
temperature rather than
ambient air
• Cost saving can be realized
away from home base since
the system stays on-board
the truck

Arctic Fox Hot Line In-Line Fuel Heater ...............................................LIT0010A

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

TEST DATA

The thermostat regulates the engine
heaters by controlling coolant
temperatures. The heater is cycled on
and off according to temperature range
settings. This ensures that a fleet owner
or manager can control electric costs
whether the truck is parked in the bay
or on the road.

• Tests were conducted across North
America from extremely cold climates
to moderate climates. The results
reveal that the thermostat system
reduces heater operating hours
and electrical costs in the cold
weather months.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
HEATERS
Avoid Common Engine Heater Installation Mistakes:
Do not use an engine heater when using
100% antifreeze.
A 50/50 mixture is recommended. Using a mixture
that is richer than 65% will cause the element to
fail prematurely.

Do not use petroleum based lubricants on the O-ring.
A petroleum based lubricant will significantly reduce the
life of the O-ring. Use antifreeze instead.

Do not run your engine while the engine heater
is plugged in.
This will create an air bubble around the element which
will then cause the element to burn out prematurely.
Do not plug in your engine heater prior to installing
to ”see if it works”.
Without being submerged in liquid, the heat generated
has nowhere to go and could result in serious burns.
How to safely test a heater.
Connect a multi-meter to the heater pins. A reading
between 5 ohms and 100 ohms indicates that the heater
is working correctly.

Do not over tighten the heater.
The O-ring will form an adequate seal when the heater
is torqued to the specifications in the instructions. Over
tightening will strip the screw threads and reduce the
quality of the seal.
After heater use, disconnect the extension cord from the
heater cord by firmly grasping each plug and pulling in
opposite directions.
Only grasp the plugs. Do not grasp, pull, yank or snap
the cords to disconnect power. Damage will result to the
power cord connections which could result in permanent
malfunction and even an electrical short.

DETERMINING CURRENT USAGE
The current usage of a heater can be determined based on a heaters volt and wattage rating.
