Aerotherm DEUCE User manual

DEUCE OWNER’S MANUAL

Congratulations on your new AeroTherm Heater!
The AeroTherm heater is the only high volume hot air electric heater on the
market. This unique design creates the same effect as a heated hangar for your
engine compartment, reducing wear and tear on your aircraft engine while
keeping your preflight time to a minimum.
INSTALLING AND OPERATING YOUR AEROTHERM HEATER
You should receive the following items in each shipment. If for any reason you
are missing any of these items, please notify us immediately:
1. One Aerotherm DEUCE Heater with Attached Hoses
2. One Carrying Case
3. Four Sponges
Your DEUCE Heater comes fully assembled and is ready for immediate use.
1. Securing the Aerotherm Heater to your Aircraft.
The heating unit is to be hung from the propeller via the convenient hanging strap.
Insert the hoses into the aircrafts cowl vents. Use the sponges to seal the engine.

2. Operating the Deuce.
Once the Deuce has been attached to your aircraft, simply select the thermostat setting you
would like to use. 60 ° is the recommended setting (see Step 3.)
The thermostat will automatically cycle the heating element on and off unit the desired
temperature has been reached. The fan will run continuously and does not shut off.
- Modification of the hoses in any way without authorization directly
from Aerotherm Heaters will void any warranty and/or liability.
- When in use, keep both ends of the hoses clear from any obstructions,
do not modify or restrict the airflow in any way, this will cause
excessive heat buildup and the element will fail.
- If airflow is restricted, the heater will shut off. To restart, push the RESET
button on the backside of The Deuce.
- If repeatedly turned on while over-heated, the unit will fail. Allow to cool and
verify that the tubing ends are free from obstructions before attempting to re-
start your Deuce.
- If using with an extension cord, ensure the cord has a rating for 15amps or
higher we recommend a 12 gauge cord.
- On 182 Cessna’s, make sure the hose that is blowing the air is not ported
into the cowl vent with the oil cooler in it.
- When using your Aerotherm outdoors on a cold-soaked airplane engine, cover any
opening on the engine with a blanket or other mechanism to keep heat from
dissipating.
Energy/Efficiency T i ps
1) When using your Aerotherm in a hangar, save energy by setting the thermostat to 50 ° .
2) If the thermostat is set to 70 ° or higher for prolonged periods of time (4 hours or greater),
the re-circulated air warms to more than 300 ° . This can lead to hose discoloration and
unit failure.

3. Recommended Settings
INDOOR OUTDOOR
Thermostat: 50-60 ° Thermostat: 70 °
With this unique system, cold-weather won’t keep you grounded!
