Hotstart HOTflow Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
HOTflow™ engine heaters feature an integrated pump that circulates warm coolant throughout the entire engine at uniform
temperatures. Constant circulation of the coolant eliminates hot spots that can deteriorate heater hoses, harm engine seals
and diminish coolant life. However, initial installation of the heating system is critical; even seemingly minor adjustments to port
location, hose routing or heater positioning may help ensure your HOTflow™ CKM heater preheats your engine effectively.

DANGER
Personal injury: This product generates heat during operation. Operation of
a heating system with closed isolation valves could result in high pressure and
serious injury. It is the responsibility of the installer and operator to ensure
that no unsafe condition can result from the generation of pressure. In EU
countries, PED (97/23/EC) compliant pressure relief may be required (125 psi
maximum).
Hazardous voltage: Before wiring, servicing or cleaning the heating
system, turn off the power and follow your organization's lockout and
tagout procedure. Failure to do so could allow others to turn on the power
unexpectedly, resulting in harmful or fatal electrical shock.
!
CAUTION
Electrical hazard: Power source must be properly grounded and in
accordance with national and local electrical codes. A user-supplied circuit
breaker (rated at the appropriate amperage) is required for use in the main
power feed line. Do not connect heater prior to installation.
NOTICE
Read instructions carefully: The HOTSTART warranty does not cover any damage that a heating system may sustain from
improper installation, improper operation, improper specification or corrosion. Before installing your heater, be sure you have
the right heating system for your application. Carefully read all instructions before installing and energizing your heater. The
safety of any system incorporating this heater is the responsibility of the assembler. The safe and proper use of this heater
is dependent upon the installer following sound engineering practices. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified
by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. All applicable electrical safety standards
defined by local jurisdictions must be followed. (Reference EU directive 2006/95/EC in EU countries.)
Check valve: HOTSTART recommends installing a customer-supplied swing-type or full-flow check (non-return) valve to
prevent coolant from flowing backward through the heating tank during engine operation. Allowing coolant to flow backward
may result in pump damage.
