Engine Block Heater
Block heaters are standard equipment on Buhler
Versatile tractors. The block heater cord (1) is
located on the right side of the engine beneath the
turbocharger.
A 3-wire 15-amp extension cord is required to
connect the block heater to a grounded 115-volt
electrical outlet.
WARNING: TO AVOID SHOCKS OR OTHER INJURIES,
NEVER USE AN UNGROUNDED OR INADEQUATE
EXTENSION CORD. ALWAYS USE A GROUNDED
3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD WITH A 3-WIRE PLUG
WHICH IS RATED FOR AT LEAST A 15-AMPERE
LOAD, AND PROTECTED BY A SUITABLE FUSE OR
CIRCUIT BREAKER.
To operate the heater, plug the heater cord in for at
least four hours before attempting to start the engine.
Maximum starting ability is usually obtained after four
hours of heater operation.
Disconnect the cord when the engine has started.
Make sure that the cable is safely secured after use.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! BE
SURE CORDS ARE PROPERLY GROUNDED. DO NOT
HANDLE IF WET. DO NOT PLUG THE HEATER IN IF
NOT IMMERSED IN COOLANT, IT MAY OVERHEAT
AND BURST CAUSING INJURY.
