ENGINE BLOCK HEATER –
DIESEL ENGINE
–If Equipped
Your diesel engine is equipped with an engine
coolant heater to assist starting in freezing
temperatures. The power cord is located in the
rear cargo compartment on the driver side of the
coach. When plugged into the receptacle, the
heater is connected to both the shoreline and the
auxiliary generator, so a separate extension cord
is not needed. The power switch is a standard
household light switch located near the
OnePlace
®
Systems Monitor Panel.
REMEMBER! Turn the engine heater switch
off after starting the engine. The heater will keep
operating for as long as it is supplied with
electricity. If the switch is left on, the engine
heater will come on each time you hook up the
shoreline cord or start the generator.
