WARNING   WARNING:  Failure to follow engine block heater instructions could result in property damage or serious personal injury.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not use your heater with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of electrical shock.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not fully close the hood, or allow it to drop under its own weight when using the engine block heater. This could damage the power cable and may cause an electrical short resulting in fire, injury and property damage.

We recommend that you do the following for a safe and correct operation:
  • Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord that is product certified by Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA). This extension cord must be suitable for use outdoors, in cold temperatures, and be clearly marked Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances. Do not use an indoor extension cord outdoors. This could result in an electric shock or become a fire hazard.
  • Use as short an extension cord as possible.
  • Do not use multiple extension cords.
  • Make sure that when in operation, the extension cord plug and engine block heater cord plug connections are free and clear of water. This could cause an electric shock or fire.
  • If the engine block heater cord is under the hood, do not remove the wiring from its original location. Do not close the hood on the extension wiring.
  • Park your vehicle in a clean area, clear of combustible materials.
  • Firmly connect the engine block heater cord and the extension cord.
  • Check the extension cord for heat anywhere when the system has been operating for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Unplug and properly stow the system before starting and driving your vehicle. The protective cover seals the terminals of the engine block heater cord plug when not in use.
  • Check the engine block heater system for proper operation before winter.
