TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Avoid Common Engine Heater Installation Mistakes: TECHNICAL INFORMATION HEATERS A 50/50 mixture is recommended. Using a mixture that is richer than 65% will cause the element to fail prematurely. Do not run your engine while the engine heater is plugged in. This will create an air bubble around the element which will then cause the element to burn out prematurely. Do not plug in your engine heater prior to installing to ”see if it works”. Without being submerged in liquid, the heat generated has nowhere to go and could result in serious burns. How to safely test a heater. Connect a multi-meter to the heater pins. A reading between 5 ohms and 100 ohms indicates that the heater is working correctly. Do not use an engine heater when using 100% antifreeze.

RECOMMENDED PART APPLICATION BASED ON CLIMATE & EQUIPMENT Use the chart below to determine the recommended part based on the climate, starting system and equipment classification. 1. Select the appropriate "Temp” the equipment will operate under 2. Select the proper "Starting System” 3. Determine what "Engine Class” the equipment is classified 4. If you need additional information, please contact your Phillips & Temro Industries sales representative or contact customer service directly.

Do not use petroleum based lubricants on the O-ring. A petroleum based lubricant will significantly reduce the life of the O-ring. Use antifreeze instead. Do not over tighten the heater. The O-ring will form an adequate seal when the heater is torqued to the specifications in the instructions. Over tightening will strip the screw threads and reduce the quality of the seal. After heater use, disconnect the extension cord from the heater cord by firmly grasping each plug and pulling in opposite directions. Only grasp the plugs. Do not grasp, pull, yank or snap the cords to disconnect power. Damage will result to the power cord connections which could result in permanent malfunction and even an electrical short.

ATTENTION: 90% of maximum temperature will be reached in 5 hours of operation but the heater is designed for continuous overnight use.
