1.10.2 Carburetor Heater
An optional carburetor heater is recommended for
improved cold starting in locations where the ambient
temperature drops below 0_C(32_F). The carburetor
heater prevents condensation and carburetor icing. The
heater turns on when the temperature at the thermostat
falls below approximately 4_C(40_F) and turns off when
the temperature rises above approximately 16_C
(60_F). See Figure 1-37 through Figure 1-39.
The heater thermostat is installed in the cord.
Figure 1-40 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 1-33.
Note: Do not place the 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.
Single-phase (RES) models: Plug the carburetor heater
into an outlet that supplies continuous 120 VAC power.
Three-phase (TRES) models: The carburetor heater
power is factory-connected to the battery charger.
