Engine Coolant Heater

cold weather conditions at or

18°C (0°F) for easier
starting and better fuel economy
during engine warm-up. Plug in the

Remove the plastic cap to
access the plug.

WARNING
Plugging the cord into an
ungrounded outlet could cause
an electrical shock. Also, the
wrong kind of extension cord
could overheat and cause a fire.
You could be seriously injured.
Plug the cord into a properly
grounded three-prong 110-volt AC
outlet. If the cord will not reach,
use a heavy-duty three-prong
extension cord rated for at least
15 amps.

sure to unplug and store the
cord as it was before to keep
it away from moving engine
parts. If you do not, it could be
damaged.

on how long to use the heater in
your particular area.
