Engine Block Heater: Description and Operation






DESCRIPTION

WARNING: Do not operate engine unless block heater cord has been disconnected from power source and secured in place.

An optional engine block heater is available for all models. The heater is equipped with a power cord. The cord is attached to an engine compartment component with tie-straps. The heater warms the engine providing easier engine starting and faster warm-up in low temperatures. The heater is mounted in a core hole of the engine cylinder block (in place of a freeze plug) with the heating element immersed in engine coolant.
