The coolant leak may by from the rubber cap on the unused nipple on the water pump.
My 1997 802 leaked there when I first got it. Found the rubber cap had dried out and cracked. Easy fix.

According to TM 9-6115-671-14 page 2-13 the CMOS voltage light indicates....
CMOS voltage.
If indicator is lit, indicates voltage necessary for CMOS device operation is too low.
If not lit, CMOS device voltage source is sufficient.
Lots of good information in the table regarding the diagnostic...
How about getting a used propane "furnace" from a trailer or camper?
They pull air in from the outside, use it for combustion and then vent the combustion outside again.
I put one on my car trailer/camper. Works great. It does require 12 v power to run the igniter and the blower.
Only required...

Pins U, P & R on the diagnostic port could be wired up to provide for Remote Start.

Electrically it looks like it should work according to the switch contact tables in the two TM's.
Just need to use the correct terminals on the switch from the -002.
Some battery chargers have their Negative output connect to the AC line cord ground pin.
IF the battery chargers have a 3 prong plug AND it's outputs are isolated from the line cord ground pin then there is not need to disconnect the cable(s) from the batteries.
If the chargers Negative...
Grab a copy of TB 9-6115-642-13
It has all the info on the operation of the heater.
Essentially it burns diesel fuel and circulates warmed coolant thru the engine block.
I use a pair of the 12 V Deltran Battery Tender Jr's on my 802A. $26 on Amazon. Just wired each charger/maintainer to each of the batteries. Not need to disconnect the batteries from each other or from the genny. The charger outputs are "floating" so no issues with connecting the positive of...
Does the fuel pump run with S1 in the Run position?
Is the S17 Emergency Stop switch pulled out?
Is the Battle Short Switch in the down position?
The 24 volt power path from the battery to S2 is...

Resistive loads are a 1.0 power factor. With a 1.0 PF load the 802 can provide 5000/0.8=6,250 Watts
If you are running a purely resistive load such as a water heater and incandescent lights it should happily put out 6,250 watts and would be at 100 % load on the meter.
I verified this yesterday...
My parts manual TM 9-6115-642-24P indicates its a 88-20003
