CHECK AND CHANGE OF ENGINE HEATER
The engine heater is shown on Fig.1, position 4. (3-cyl.
engine).
If the heater is being continuously used, the heater element
is subject to burning and should be checked yearly or if the
heating does not work.
- Drain the coolant through the drain plug.
-
Disconnect the leads and unscrew the heater, using a 26 mm
wrench.
- If the inner reducer should loosen, reglue with epoxy glue
or Loctite.
- If the element is badly burnt or corroded, replace it by a
new one.
- If the new heater element does not work, check the
thermostat and replace if defective. See wiring diagram
inside the thermostat box, Fig. 12.
Note: The engine heater should not be tested in open air as it
will be overheated and damaged.
