ENGINE BLOCK HEATER AND
OPTIONAL INTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER
120 VAC INPUT RECEPTACLES
This generator comes equipped with an engine block
heater. An internal battery charger is available as an
option. 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 83) 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
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
When using the generator in hot climates there is no need
to apply power to the engine block heater. However, if the
generator will be used in cold climates, it is best 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.
