ENGINE BLOCK HEATER AND
INTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER
120 VAC INPUT RECEPTACLES (OPTIONAL)
This generator can be equipped with an engine block
heater and an internal battery charger as options. They
are provided with electric cords to connect to a commercial
power source.
The engine block heater and internal battery charger
both require 120 VAC in order to operate. A receptacle
(Figure 74) has been provided on the output terminal panel
to allow commercial power to be applied.
These receptacles will ONLY function when commercial
power has been supplied to them (Figure 74). To apply
commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of
adequate size will be required (See Table 6).

When using the generator in hot climates there is no reason
to apply power to the engine block heater. However, if the
generator will be used in cold climates it is always a good
idea to apply power to the engine block heater at all times.
If the generator will be used daily, the battery should
normally not require charging. If the generator will be idle
(not used) for long periods of time, apply power to the
battery charger receptacle via commercial power using a
power cord of adequate size.
NOTICE
If the generator will be idle (not used) for long periods
of time and to ensure adequate starting capability,
always have power applied to the generator's internal
battery charger.
