ENGINE BLOCK HEATING ELEMENT AND
INTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER 120 VAC INPUT
RECEPTACLES (OPTIONAL)
This generator can be equipped as an
option
with a
engine block heating element
and an
internal battery
charger
. They are provided with electric cords to connect
to a commercial power source.
The engine block heating element and internal battery
charger both require 120 VAC in order to operate. A
receptacle (Figure 72) has been provided on the output
terminal panel to allow commercial power to be applied.
These units will
ONLY
function when commercial power
has been supplied to them. When using extension cords,
refer to Table 6 for the correct size and length.
When using the generator in
hot
climates, there is no need
to apply power to jacket water heater (heating element).
However, if the generator will be used in
cold
climates, it is
best to apply power to the jacket water heater at all times.
If the generator will be used daily, the battery should
normally not require charging. If the generator will be idle
(not used) for long periods of time, apply power to the
battery charger receptacle via commercial power using a
power cord of adequate size.
NOTICE
If the generator will be idle (not used) for long periods
of time and to ensure adequate starting capability,
always have power applied to the generator's internal
battery charger.
