Key Features
- Genuine OEM Temperature Safety Control — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original specification, ensuring the limit control operates at the correct trip threshold for your heater model.

- Broad HI 770 XHD and Arctic Bear Fitment — Confirmed compatibility across diesel and natural gas Arctic Bear HD and HI 770 XHD indirect air heater configurations.
- Protects Burner and Heat Exchanger Integrity — A correctly functioning limit control prevents overheating conditions that can damage the burner assembly and heat exchanger, keeping output air temperatures within safe operating ranges.
- Critical Safety Component — The limit control is a primary overheat protection device; using a verified OEM replacement ensures the heater shuts down correctly under fault conditions, protecting both personnel and the machine.
A limit control is a temperature-sensing safety switch that monitors the operating temperature inside the heater. When temperatures exceed a set threshold — due to restricted airflow, a blocked flue, or a burner fault — the limit control interrupts the burner circuit and shuts the unit down to prevent damage or a fire hazard. When the limit control fails or degrades, the heater may shut off unexpectedly during normal operation, fail to restart, or in a worst case, allow the unit to run beyond safe temperature limits. Replacing a faulty limit control with the correct OEM part restores proper overheat protection and normal heater operation.
