• Make sure that when in operation, the

extension cord plug and heater cord

plug connections are free and clear of

water. This could cause an electric

shock or fire.

• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a

clean area, clear of combustibles.

• Make sure the heater, heater cord and

extension cord are firmly connected.

• Check for heat anywhere in the

electrical hookup once the system has

been operating for approximately 30

minutes.

• Make sure the system is unplugged and

properly stowed before driving your

vehicle. Make sure the protective cover

seals the prongs of the block heater

cord plug when not in use.

• Make sure the heater system is

checked for proper operation before

winter.

Using the Engine Block Heater

Make sure the receptacle terminals are

clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with

a dry cloth if necessary.

The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours

of energy per hour of use. The system does

not have a thermostat. It achieves

maximum temperature after

approximately three hours of operation.

Using the heater longer than three hours

does not improve system performance and

unnecessarily uses electricity.
