DC Cab Heater/ Defroster
The controls for the heater/defroster are two black rocker switches located on the center
console to the right of the driver. The first switch, labeled “HEATER”, controls the heating
element. Press the top of the switch to turn it on and the amber light on the switch will
illuminate when it is on. Turning this switch on automatically starts the heater fan on the
slow speed. The second switch is, labeled “FAN”, is the heater fan which controls the
amount of air flow from the heater. Press on the top of the rocker to toggle through the
medium and high settings. The heater fan can also be used with the heater element turned off
to circulate cab air, but only on the medium and high settings. The heater and fan will only
function with the ignition key turned on. The air from the heater exits through two vents on
the top of the dash, whose main function is defrosting, and the two vents on the sides of the
console. The lower vents can be turned off by flipping the deflector closed on the vent; this
provides more airflow and heat to the defroster vents for faster windshield defogging. The
center vent on the top of the console is the air intake for air recirculation. Do not block this
vent or obstruct it in any way. This may cause damage to the heater unit.
