Maintenance
Lower Radiator Hose Heater Option -
Use and Maintenance
The following points should be followed when operating a
unit equipped with a lower radiator hose heater.
• Verify the cooling system is full of the proper
mixture of water and engine coolant before each
heater use.
• The heater is designed for all-night operation,
however, 2-5 hours of heating just prior to starting
is usually sufficient for proper engine starting.
• The unit must be level to maintain proper
orientation of the heater while it is in operation.
• Use only an undamaged, outdoor rated, three-
prong grounded 120VAC extension cord with a
minimum amperage rating of 10A. Connect the
cord to a properly grounded 120VAC, GFCI
receptacle.
• Before starting the engine, unplug the extension
cord from the power, then unplug the heater
cordset from the extension cord.
WARNING
Personal Injury. Do not modify the location of the
lower radiator hose heater. Improper use of hose
heater could result in personal injury or engine
damage.
