• Check coolant hoses, clamps, and make sure all valves
are open. Maintain the engine manufacturers recommend-
ed coolant level and ensure that the heater is properly bled
after service on or involving the coolant system.
• Visual check of all fuel lines for leaks. Check and if
necessary replace fuel filter inserts.
• Visual check of electrical lines and connections for corrosion.
• Run your heater at least once a month during the year
(for a minimum of 15 minutes).
• Maintain your batteries and all electrical connections in
good condition. With insufficient power the heater will
not start. Low and high voltage cutouts will shut the
heater down automatically.

recommendations). Blending used engine oil with diesel
fuel is not permitted.
In the event of failure there are several items which
should be checked first before any major troubleshooting
is done.

• Fuses.
• Electrical lines and connections
• Interference in Combustion air and Exhaust pipes.
• Fuel in the tank.
• Battery voltage
• Coolant flow
The heater is equipped with self diagnostic capability. You can
retrieve information on the heaters last 5 faults using the Espar
7 day timer or Espar’s Fault Code Retrieval Device.
Espar’s 7 day timer has a fault code
