Electric Heated : Turns an electric current from the machines battery into heat by running the currant through a heating element to create heat energy and using a small fan to blow the warm air created by the element to be dispersed through out the cabin area. These heaters can either be direct wired or connected to power via a cigarette lighter plug in. Electric heaters have a more instant heat output from a cold start. Coolant Heated : Redirects the engine coolant flow warmed by the engine and flow powered by coolant pump through a heater core and back to the engine using a coolant inlet and coolant return hose.
A 12V to 24V multiple speed electric fan is designed into the heater assembly to blow air around the heater core in turn heating the cab. This style of heater is at its hottest temperature when the engine is at maximum operating temperature. Though a little more expensive, coolant style heaters are the most recommended choice due to them making use of wasted heat energy coming off of the engine, making them the most efficient and dependable type of heating.
Most coolant style heaters have a built-in 12V 2 to 10 amp variable speed fan. Hydraulic hose can be used as well in this instance. Electric heating is a little more complicated due to the amount of amps they can pull from the alternator.
For example: a good quality electric heater pulls an average of amps and stock skid steer alternator amp output ranges from 50 to 65 amps on average, leaving very few amps left for running the skid steers circuitry such as light-up displays, glow plugs, block heater, headlights, tail lights, and any other electrical add ons.
Even though your skid steer's battery may be a massive to cold cranking amps, you are ultimately limited to the amount of amps your alternator has left after running all the necessary components on your machine. Failure to do the math before installing such a heater will lead to battery drainage causing slow start ups, dim or half-lite light-up displays, or even causing the machine to die when the battery is drained from exceeding the alternators amperage output rating. A few ways to fix this issue is to upgrade to a higher amp output alternator, or replacing high amperage lighting with LEDs Light Emitting Diode.

You definitely didn't get your rig to sit in the garage because it's cold outside!
However, who wants to do anything when the weather is bitter? Inferno heaters are no joke. Both can be removed by using the same steps. Check the blower motor housing for wear and replace as needed.
Figure 11 [ Item 1 ]. Removing the Blower Motor Wheels :. Remove the outside rings and blower wheel covers from the blower motor and blower wheels. Inspect the end rings and blower wheel covers for wear and replace as needed.
To remove the blower motor wheels from the motor, first remove the outside blower wheel clamp from the blower wheel with needle nose pliers. Next remove the inside blower wheel clamp from the blower wheel using needle nose pliers Figure 16 [ Item 1 ] and remove the blower wheel. Figure 17 [ Item 1 ] Be sure to keep track of what direction the inside ring cab off as they are directional.
