ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so
equipped)

Engine block heaters are used to assist with
cold temperature starting.
The engine block heater should be used when
the outside temperature is 20

8F (

í78C) or lower.

To use the engine block heater

1. Turn the engine off.
2. Plug the engine block heater cord into a

grounded 3-wire, 3-pronged extension cord.

3. Plug the extension cord into a Ground Fault

Interrupt (GFI) protected, grounded 110-
volt AC (VAC) outlet.

4. The engine block heater must be plugged in

for at least 2 - 4 hours, depending on
outside temperatures, to properly warm the
engine coolant. Use an appropriate timer to
turn the engine block heater on.

5. Before starting the engine, unplug and

properly store the cord to keep it away from
moving parts.

WARNING

.

Do not use your engine block heater
with an ungrounded electrical sys-
tem or a 2-pronged adapter. You can
be seriously injured by an electrical
shock if you use an ungrounded
connection.

.

Disconnect and properly store the
engine block heater cord before
starting the engine. Damage to the
cord could result in an electrical
shock and can cause serious injury.

.

Use a heavy-duty 3-wire, 3-pronged
extension cord rated for at least
10A. Plug the extension cord into a
Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) pro-
tected, grounded 110-VAC outlet.

Failure to use the proper extension
cord or a grounded outlet can result
in a fire or electrical shock and
cause serious personal injury.
