Operation
NOTE: Use lower radiator hose heater only in its desig-
nated location. Incorrect use can damage the engine.
Proceed as follows when operating a unit equipped with
a lower radiator hose heater.
1. Verify unit is level to maintain proper orientation of
heater while in operation.
2. Verify cooling system is full of the correct mixture of
water and engine coolant before each use.

prong grounded 120VAC extension cord with a
minimum amperage rating of 10A. Connect cord to
a properly grounded 120VAC, GFCI outlet.
4. Before starting engine, unplug extension cord from
power first, then unplug heater cord set from exten-
sion cord.

Telemetry (If Equipped)
The digital telemetry option enables the operator to
remotely monitor the unit fuel level. A transmitter inside
the engine compartment sends real time equipment sta-
tus information to the user via cellular or satellite connec-
tion.
Spark Arrester (If Equipped)
A spark arrester, installed on the exhaust, may be
required by code in certain municipalities. Verify with the
local authority having jurisdiction to determine if a spark
arrester must be installed on the unit before operation.
