Short circuiting, fire, serious injuries and life-
threatening or
lethal
electric shock can result
from using unsuitable or damaged sockets
and connector cables/extension
cords, using
electrical equipment incorrectly, and/or disre-
garding general safety precautions.
-
Always plug the extension cord into a 120 V
socket that is properly functioning, ground-
ed, equipped with a GFI circuit breaker and
is protected against water, moisture and
other fluids.
-
Never connect the engine preheater to a
conventional socket, even if the socket is
protected by a fuse.
-
Always check the fuse on the 120 Volt GFI
socket before connecting the connector ca-
ble to the engine preheater on the vehicle.
- Only
use
highly durable extension cords that
are class 12 or better and can be properly
grounded to a three-prong wall socket with
a GFI circuit breaker
.
The extension cord
must not be longer than 100 feet (30 me-
ters).
-
Never use damaged connector cables, ex-
tension cords or sockets
.
Always check the
connector
cable, extension cord and sockets
for
damage before using them. Damaged

Always disconnect the connector cable from
the vehicle socket before starting the en-
gine. Switch off the power supply to the
connector cable and to the extension cord if
necessary, or disconnect the cable or exten-

Never make alterations or repairs to
the
connector cables or extension cords that
supply power to the engine preheater or to
any components that affect the engine pre-
