APPENDIX A

Fuel Fill Point
CAUTION:
Filling the fuel tank too quickly or overfilling the tank can increase the risk of spills, backsplash or fuel discharging from the tank vent or fill point due to fuel expansion, etc.
Page 2
EXTERIOR FUEL FILL AREA LIGHT
Activated with compartment light button located on main control panel
FUEL LEVEL FILL WARNING INDICATOR
This indicator can assist with eliminating the risk of overfilling or splash-back.
-Green LED begins flashing when fuel level reaches 75% of full tank capacity
-Green LED Illuminates steady when fuel level reaches 85% to 90% of full tank capacity
(Engine must be stopped and key switch must be ON to activate this feature)
The fuel tank is filled on the side of unit near the rear.
Maximum fuel tank capacity is 190 US gal (718 Litres)
Caution: Do not fill tank above 95% of maximum capacity to allow for fuel expansion.
Refer to rating plate in rear compartment for specific details.
Approximate maximum run time for IDF1000 with full tank is approx. 30 hours.

Swing Open Side Access Doors
Access to Heater Discharges
Heater discharge doors have safety interlock switches
and each door must be open in order for the respective
heater to operate.
Access to Heater Controls
Heater inlet doors provide access to the heater
controls and should normally remain open
during operation.
Catches are provided to
secure doors in the open
position

Heaters are mounted onto poly lined slides rails permitting slide out access for service or complete removal from
enclosure.
IDH500QR heaters can slide out toward the burner end only and IDF500HS heaters can slide out from both the burner
end or the air discharge end.

Heater travel is limited by "slide limit stop bolts". The heaters can be completely
removed from the enclosure by unfastening the slide limit safety stop bolt.
Note: IDH models slide-out from the burner side of the trailer only & require lifting of the clearance cover.

Rear Compartment Power Distribution and Controls
Control functions for both Kubota &Isuzu engine versions are similar.
Individual Circuit Breakers for main supply power and each heater and the auxiliary power receptacle.
Fuel gauge shows fuel level when engine is running or keyswitch is in accessory position.
Power meter indicates volt, amp, kilowatts or HZ (selectable))when generator is running.

SELECTOR BUTTON
ALLOWS USER TO SELECT WHAT VALUE TO READ OR CAN BE SET TO SCROLL
Momentarily pressing "SEL" button each time will cycle the display to the next measurement.
Holding the "SEL" button for 3 seconds will set the meter to
continuously cycle through each measurement and display them
for 3 seconds.
The meter can also be configured to always display the desired specific measurement such
as amps or watts each time the heater is powered up. This is accomplished by setting the meter to
the desired measurement reading and leaving it to display that reading without touching the "SEL"
button for at least 60 seconds. Then each time the unit is powered up it will display that
measurement.
POWER METER
NOTE:
DISPLAY MAY INDICATE A RUNNING FEQUENCY ABOVE 60 HZ. (62HZ-64HZ).
THIS IS NORMAL TO ALLOW FOR ENGINE SPEED DROOP OF THE GOVENOR AND
PREVENT THE FRQUENCY FROM DROPPING BELOW 60 HZ. WITH FULL ENGINE LOADS.

Pushbuttons for Compartment Lighting and Accessories

Compartment Lights
-Press button to activate compartment lights & fuel fill area light.
-Lights will remain on for 3 minutes & will then automatically turn off.
-Press & hold button for 2 seconds when activating lights for lights to remain on for 20 minutes & then automatically turn
off. Lights will briefly flash after holding the button to indicate the 20 minute time has be activated.
-Press button at anytime to turn lights off before the timing period has completed.

Battery Charger & Block Heater
Battery charger & block heater buttons are push-on/push-off
Press buttons to activate & button will illuminate when power is supplied Press buttons again to deactivate.
These buttons and the devices they activate are functional only when an external
power source is supplied through the "120V POWER IN" exterior inlet receptacle.

Fuel Level Sending Unit
33-240 ohm. Linear Reed Switch Fuel Level Sender
Page 13
IDH1000 models after July 2019 utilize a sealed linear type fuel sender that does not require any adjustment.
These are not interchangable with the previous 10-180 ohm. adjustable type.
If you require a fuel sender for earlier models please call your dealer or Frost Fighter for the correct part.

Compartment Lighting Timers
• Compartment lighting is controlled with a programmable PLC
control activated with the momentary pushbutton on the panel.
This prevents unwanted battery drain from constant unattended
operation of the lights.
• The PLC has two pre-programmed timing periods of 3 minutes or 20
minutes depending on the lighting duration desired. Selecting the desired
lighting times is described on page 12.
• The PLC is located under the front control panel and has a display screen
that can be used for operation information, troubleshooting and
programming.
• The control also has a 6 pin receptacle on the exterior left rear of the
control panel that is designed for connection to an optional Frost Fighter
LED roof beacon. This 3 color high intensity beacon can be used to display
operational status and alerts for low fuel levels. See page 20.

Startingthe diesel engine
Turn key-switch on LOFA control from
“OFF” to “RUN” position.
LOFA control shown with key-switch placed in “RUN” position which
illuminates the indicator lights & activatesthe fuel gauge.
The electric fuel pump for priming will operate for approx. 10 seconds.
Turn the key-switch to "OFF" & then back to "RUN" to reactivate electric
fuel pump for additional 10 sec. if extended priming is required or engine
fails to start.
After a few seconds with the key-switch
in the "RUN" position the lower indicator
lights will go off.
Engine preheating is shown by the
illuminated “PREHEAT” indicator light
and will remain on until preheating is
complete.
IMPORTANT:DO NOT STOP THE ENGINE/GENERATOR UNTIL BOTH HEATERS HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN FIRST AND HAVE
COMPLETED THEIR COOL DOWN CYCLE AND THE FANS HAVE STOPPED.
Page 16
To stop the engine move key-switch to the
"OFF" position
When the“PREHEAT” indicator light goes off
move the key-switch to "START" and release
once engine starts.
If the engine starts but fails to run or it fails to
start then repeat this process.

With strict emission control regulations nowin effect, the CF-4 and CG-4 engine oils have been developed for use
with low sulfur fuels, for On-Highway vehicle engines. When a Non-Road engine runs on high sulfur fuel, it is
advisable touse a "CF or better" classification engine oil with a high Total Base Number (a minimum TBN of 10
is recommended).
ALubricating oil recommended when a low-sulfur or high-sulfur fuel is employed.
{: Recommendable : Not recommendable
*TBN: Total Base Number
**Fuel
ADiesel Fuel Specification Type and Sulfur Content % (ppm) used, must be compliant with all applicable emission
regulations for the area in which the engine is operated.
AUse of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 0.10 % (1000 ppm) is strongly recommended.
AIf high-sulfur fuel (sulfur content 0.50 % (5000 ppm) to 1.0 % (10000 ppm)) is used as a diesel fuel, change the
engine oil and oil filter at shorter intervals. (approximately half).
ADO NOT USE Fuels that have sulfur content greater than 1.0 % (10000 ppm).
ASince KUBOTA diesel engines of less than 56 kW (75 hp) utilize EPA Tier 4 and Interim Tier 4 standards, the use
of low sulfur fuel or ultra low sulfur fuel is mandatory for these engines, when operated in US EPA regulated areas.
Therefore, please use No.2-D S500 or S15 diesel fuel as an alternative to No.2-D, and use No.1-D S500 or S15
diesel fuel as an alternative to No.1-D for ambient temperatures below -10°C (14°F).
1) No.1-D or No.2-D, S500 : Low Sulfur Diesel (LSD) less than 500 ppm or 0.05 wt.%
No.1-D or No.2-D, S15 : Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) 15 ppm or 0.0015 wt.%
ACJ-4 classification oil is intended for use in engines equipped with DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and is Not
Recommended for use in Kubota E3 specification engines.
AOil used in the engine should have API classification and Proper SAE Engine Oil according to the ambient
temperatures as shown below:
