SuperATV’s Cab Heater taps into the engine’s coolant system and provides automotive-style heat inside your cab. It uses your Defender HD8’s key-on and power terminals, so the electrical connection stays simple. The complete kit contains hoses, drill bits, and model-specific mounting plates to make installation as painless as possible. Multiple fan speeds and adjustable temperature controls help you stay comfortable in any winter weather.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDefrost Your Defender HD8 Windshield\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe heater includes two vents in the main unit, plus a dedicated defrost vent and hoses. This system helps remove snow, ice, and fog from your windshield for a clearer view. Dash-mounted defrost vents create a neat, factory-quality appearance.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eStay Comfortable in Any Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nEvery part of this cab heater is made to handle tough conditions. The premium radiator hoses have a temperature range of -40°F to 285°F. They stand up to severe cold outside and extreme heat under the hood. The result is dependable warmth that makes every winter ride more enjoyable.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eGive the Back Row Some Heat\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAdd the optional second-row heater so your rear passengers don’t get left in the cold. The kit comes with everything required and mounts directly in front of the center seat. Easy-to-reach temperature and fan controls let back-row riders adjust the heat to suit them.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm Up Faster with a Quick-Start Flow Valve\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nInstall a quick-start flow valve to cut heater warm-up time in half. The valve sends all engine coolant through the heater core before the engine reaches full operating temperature. It opens automatically as the engine heats up and allows coolant to return to the radiator.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeel Heat in About 30 Seconds with an Idle Flow Pump\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAn idle flow pump can push warm air into your cab in as little as 30 seconds. It supports coolant circulation through the engine and speeds up heat production at idle or low speed.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003ctable\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n     \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick-Start Flow Valve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n     \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdle Flow Pump\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eGets you heated air twice as fast\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eWarms up heater in under 30 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eDiverts coolant to your heater core at low temps\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n     \u003ctd\u003eActively pumps coolant at idle to increase heater temps\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eOnly one quick-start flow valve needed for front- and second-row heaters\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n     \u003ctd\u003eOnly one idle flow pump needed for front- and second-row heaters\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombine our Quick-Start Flow Valve and Idle Flow Pump \u003c\/strong\u003e for maximum heat as quickly as possible when you’re slow or idle.\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoost Performance with a Grille Cover\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAdd a grille cover to shield your radiator from frigid outside air. It allows coolant temperatures to rise faster, which helps your heater produce warm air sooner. The PVC-backed polyester material is tough, and the cover attaches or detaches quickly.
