COOLANT HEATER
The coolant heater is installed on the en-
gine block.
The output of the heater is 1000 W at the
220 VAC supply voltage.
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH THE USE OF THE COOLANT HEATER
Heating the coolant facilitates engine starting at low ambient temperatures. The elec-
tric installation of the power supply and its protection against electric shock must
comply with valid regulations.
1. First, insert the connector to the heater.
2. Then, connect the heater to electric mains with the voltage of 220 V.
With regard to reduced wear of the engine during starting at low temperatures, the
use of the heater is recommended by the manufacturer. The heating time depends on
the ambient temperature (1 - 2 hours before the planned start should be sufficient).
After the end of heating first disconnect the device from the electric mains and
only then remove the connector from the heater!
Electric shock hazard!
It is necessary to ensure instructing of the tractor operator and regular
inspections of the coolant heater, incl. the power supply cable in the
sense of valid standards of the state where the tractor is operated, at
least before every winter.
