Engine Pre-Heat Function

As an option, the heat exchanger can also be used to pre-
heat an engine before starting it. The Hurricane® Zephyr™
HW contains two connections on the back panel to connect to
the engine coolant system. It is recommended to use
minimal ¾" ID hose for this connection. Pre-heating the
engine makes it easier to start and it can be put under load
immediately.
If installed, the optional engine pre-heat function is enabled
by flipping a manual switch mounted inside the living area
(not supplied), while the engine is off. This turns on a
separate (not included) engine pre-heat pump.
The manual switch and engine pre-heat pump are wired to
the yacht's electrical system via separate switches.
