OPTIONAL ENGINE BLOCK HEATER AND
INTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER
120 VAC INPUT RECEPTACLES
This generator can be equipped with an engine block
heater and an internal battery charger as options. These
components are provided with electrical power 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 97) has been provided on the output terminal panel
to allow commercial power to be applied.
These units will only function when commercial power has
been supplied to them. When using extension cords, refer
to Table 7 for the correct size and length.

PANEL ASSEMBLY
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 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.
