15.6 Engine Block Heater
The engine block heater option includes a block heater (a) with a cord (b). The
function of the block heater is to heat the engine coolant/engine block to improve
cold-weather engine starting. Plug the cord into a 120V power supply.
15.7 Automatic LCD Heat
To improve the performance of the LCD panel in cold weather, the LCD panel
control module is equipped with an LCD heater. The heater draws power from the
panel control module and is active only when the panel control module is powered.
An optional thermostat (a) can be installed if the machine is to be used in extremely
cold weather. The thermostat automatically powers the panel control module when
the temperature drops to approximately -30°C (-22° F). This activates the heater to
prevent damage to the LCD panel.
It is important to note that the panel control module draws a small amount of power
from the battery when turned on—even when the machine is not running. If the
battery should fail, the heater will also fail. Be sure to keep the battery charged
when the generator is not in use.
