Uses and Applications
The heater works independently from the vehicle’s engine, but is best fitted
using the vehicle’s battery and fuel tank. An auxiliary battery and/or fuel
tank can be used if necessary. The heater will operate under normal conditions
in most vehicles from industrial and machinery sectors to leisure craft like
yachts and motor homes. The heater is best uses for heating various cabins and
compartments, engine preheating and glass defrosting. It is not recommended
for constant long-term operation for residential rooms, garages, holiday homes
etc. Note: The most common faults that occur are generally down to poor fuel
conditions due to dirty (or empty) fuel tanks or drops in voltage;
particularly in older vehicles like live aboard narrowboats or used,
commercial vehicles.

Safety Information
Follow the installation guidelines carefully to ensure the heater has the
appropriate amount of clearance between surfaces, so as not to become a fire
hazard and that the various parts of the heater that get hot, like the
exhaust, are not exposed or contaminated by possible fuel and oil.
Sufficient ventilation is required allowing proper air-flow to the heater. If
the heater is to be installed in a box or compartment, please ensure an air
vent is installed for this reason. The air must also be fresh and not
contaminated by exhaust fumes or other polluted sources. Make sure that the
air intakes and exhaust do not get blocked by other objects.
Take care to ensure that the exhaust outlet is installed in a way that
prevents fumes entering the vehicle or in the direction of the fresh air
intake and ensure the use of heat shields where necessary to again avoid fire
damage.
If work is to be carried out on or around the heater, turn it off at least an
hour before so, so that it is sufficiently cool enough to be handled. If
necessary, wear safety gloves.
The fuel line must not be routed through the passenger compartment or the
driver’s cab in any vehicle. Ensure that they are also installed so that the
exits are not at risk or in danger of becoming a possible fire hazard.
Finally, take care and follow any and all precautions when installing the
heater to minimize injuries to yourself and damage to the heater.

Wiring Harness Connector Positions
The main connector coming off the heater can be moved to the other side of the
heater if necessary. In order to do you must first remove the air inlet grill
by twisting it so it’s clear of its securing lip and then simply pull it off.
Next, remove the top cover by lifting up the two front flaps near the air
inlet. You can then lift out the entire innards of the heater (heat exchanger
to fan motor and all) removing the cable from the rubber securing bush and
rerouting it underneath the fan motor where it can then sit in the cut-out on
the opposite side. Ensure the rubber bush is properly inserted and the heat
exchanger is back securely in position, then simply replace the lid and grill
back in position.
Note: Ensure the bottom cover fits correctly inside the groove of the lid.

Installation: Ducting (Cont’d)
Ducting Can be installed as shown on the previous page. Extra outlets can be
installed to fit your own needs however you should ideally not fit more than
the maximum of 3 outlets to the Airo 2 Boost, or 4 outlets for the Airo 4, to
ensure you are receiving sufficient hot air output.
The Airo 2 Boost uses 60mm ducting, whereas the Airo 4 uses 90mm for the
outlet, and 75mm for the inlet.
Exhaust System
Note: Do not work on the exhaust system unless the heater has been switched
off for over an hour and wear safety gloves if necessary. All types of
combustion produce high temperatures and toxic fumes and must be installed in
accordance to these instructions.
The flexible exhaust pipe can be shortened to no less than 20cm and should not
exceed a length of 2m, depending on the installation parameters. Route the
exhaust pipe from the heater to a suitable outlet, ensuring that is securely
fitted to the heater using the clamp supplied in the kit.
As the exhaust gets very hot during operation, it should be installed in such
a way that will not cause damage to the vehicle. So ensure that it has
sufficient clearance of heat sensitive parts; paying close attention to fuel
lines (plastic and copper) and electrical components. Make sure that the
outlet ends in open air and does not point in the direction of travel. The
whole system should also point downwards and if necessary, a 5mm hole should
be drilled near the bottom to drain off any condensation. You should also
route the exhaust so that the fumes are not taken back in by the air intakes
of the heater and ensure that the outlet does not get blocked by anything like
road debris etc.

Combustion Air Intake
Like the exhaust pipe the combustion air intake can be shortened to up to 20cm
or lengthened to no more than 2m, again depending on installation conditions.
Some models can also be fitted with a combustion air silencer to reduce the
noise of the air intake; this is ultimately down to personal preference.
In some situations, an air filter may be required (not included) to stop dust
or debris making its way up the air pipe.

Installation: Fuel Lines
Note: When installing, priming, repairing fuel lines etc. there is always a
risk of injuries due to flammable and toxic sources. Take all the necessary
safety precautions when fitting any fuel line or fuel line parts.
DO NOT:
· Smoke · Use naked flames · Inhale fumes
When working on or near any fuel lines or parts!
DO:
· Ensure the engine and heater are switched off before attempting any and all
work on the fuel line installation or repair
· Cut any fuel line with a sharp knife to ensure a clean cut free from crushes
and burrs
· Make sure the pipe from the fuel pump to the heater is on a gradual rise
· Ensure fuel pipes are fastened safely to prevent noise rattle and securely
fitted to prevent any damage
· Route the fuel pipes so that vehicle vibration and movement will not have
any lasting effects on the service life
· Route the fuel line away from any and all heat sources. Ensure adequate
clearing from heat sources if it cannot be avoided or use a suitable heat
shield

Fuel Standpipe
A fuel standpipe (or suction pipe) will need to be installed in the vehicle’s
fuel tank or an independent fuel tank depending on what the installation calls
for. Sealant is not required to fit the standpipes.
Depending on the standpipe provide in the kit you will need to install the standpipe in one of two ways.
Standpipe 1: (Part No: AHZ-034)
Figure XXI
Usually supplied in Marine kits and supplied bent, this standpipe is installed
like so:
· Drill a hole in the top of the vehicle’s fuel tank 22 ± 0.2mm in size.
Ensure it is smooth and clean of burrs
· Remove the top nut and washers and bend the standpipe straight · Cut the
standpipe down to size if necessary · Fit the standpipe by tilting it into
position into the newly drilled hole · Place the rubber and metal washers back
on top followed by the nut
and tighten it securely on top
27 MV Heating UK Ltd
+44 (0)23 8052 2345
Standpipe 2 (Sender Unit Pipe): (Part No: AHZ-035)
Figure XXII Supplied mainly in vehicle kits, this standpipe (or sender unit
pipe) is installed like so:
· If possible; remove the sender unit from the vehicle’s fuel tank, this will
make it easier to attach the nut securely back onto the standpipe
· Drill a 6 ± 0.2mm hole into the sender unit · Remove the nut from the
standpipe and feed it through the hole
ensuring the rubber o’ ring remains on the standpipe
head’ side · Replace
the nut on the standpipe to secure it safely to the sender
unit. · Replace the sender unit into the fuel tank. · To use in a marine
application, simply tap an M6 hole into the fuel
tank and screw the standpipe inside with the rubber O-ring present. The bottom
of the fuel standpipe should be 30-40mm from the bottom of the fuel tank to
allow enough suction of fuel and at the same time not allow impurities and
sediment to be drawn up the standpipe.

Electrics: Components
Make sure that all electrical components are arranged in the vehicle so that
they function correctly under normal heater operations. Firstly, ensure that
no wires are damaged in any way and avoid feeding them through areas that may
cause damage to the loom or cause kinking, jamming or exposure to heat. If
necessary, fit rubber grommets and plugs around the loom in areas that are not
waterproof or may get damaged by road debris. Lastly make sure all connections
are free of corrosion and all firmly connected.
Control Switch & Timer
To install the control switch, simply remove the rotary knob (it is quite
stiff) and secure in a suitable location with the screw provided, then replace
the knob back in the correct location. Alternatively, to fit the mini timer,
simply fit the appropriate screw inside the hole located at the center of the
timer. Both plug into the corresponding black and clear plugs on the loom.
Note: Only one can be installed at a time.
External Temperature Sensor Probe
The external temperature sensor probe plugs into the corresponding blue and
brown wired socket on the diagram and should ideally by mounting at shoulder
height when sat down to ensure correct reading of the air temperature. It
should not be mounted in such a way as to obstruct air flow; like up high, in
the corner of the vehicle cabin or above heat sources.

The rheostat (or rotary) control works by twisting the control knob to the
desired heat setting, and using the buttons listed to determine the heaters
function. Variable output is simply high to low heat. The temperature button
switches the heater to thermostatic mode (the heater will then switch to a
cool-down cycle automatically once it has reached the selected temperature).
The fan button only switches the fan on for cool air.

Maintenance
Once the heater is installed, it should ideally be turned on a few times to
remove any air trapped in the fuel lines. Also ensure there is no leaking from
the lines and that all electric terminals fit securely together. You should
also regularly:
· Check the air inlet and outlet for any pollution or foreign matters · Clean
the externals of the heater · Check for corrosion or loose connections of the
circuits · Check the combustion air inlet and exhaust pipe for damage and
clogs · Check the fuel line for leaks To ensure a long life of the heater it
is advised that you run it for at least 10 minutes every month, to prevent
malfunction of mechanical parts. After 10 years the heat exchanger, overheat
sensor and exhaust should be replaced by a professional. If any welding is
being attempted on the vehicle, please remove the positive power supply wire
and earth it to protect the controller from any damage.

Rheostat Control
When the ECU had discovered a fault, the rheostat control will flash a fault
code. The control should therefore be ideally placed where it can be clearly
seen and accessed.
The faults will be displayed as flashes. Count the flashes to determine the code.
