1.10.2 Carburetor Heater
An optional carburetor heater is recommended for
improved cold starting in locations where the ambient
temperature drops below 0C (32F). The carburetor
heater prevents condensation and carburetor icing. The
heater turns on when the temperature at the thermostat
falls below approximately 4C (40F) and turns off when
the temperature rises above approximately 16C
(60F). See Figure 1-25.
The carburetor heater thermostat is installed in the cord.
Figure 1-26 shows the location of the thermostat on the
power cord. The heater power cord and thermostat are
located in the generator set housing air intake area/
battery compartment. See Figure 1-21.
Note: Do not place the carburetor heater thermostat
inside the generator set engine compartment.
The thermostat must be exposed to the ambient
air.
The heater requires a continuous source of power. Plug
the carburetor heater into an outlet that supplies
continuous 120 VAC power .
