HOTSTART Manual TF in Block Heater EN

The document provides installation instructions for TF Series in-block engine heaters. It describes: 1) Locating the proper area of installation by identifying the engine make and model and corresponding heater part number that replaces a threaded plug or core plug. 2) Mounting the in-block heater by draining the cooling system, removing the existing plug, cleaning the opening, applying sealant, and securely threading in the heater so the element is centered. 3) Attaching the power cord by aligning it with the element pins and securing it with a nut or clamp. The cord should be routed away from hot surfaces and secured with ties.

II. MOUNTING THE IN-BLOCK ENGINE HEATER
A. Drain the cooling system.
B. Remove the existing core plug. Keep the bolts and lockwashers.
C. Clean and dry the walls of the opening and mounting surface. Remove any burrs, sharp edges or debris from the machined
surfaces. Do not nick or scar the mounting surface of engine.
D. Apply teflon tape or thread sealant to heater threads.
E. Thread the heater into the core plug opening so that the element is centered in cavity and tighten securely.
The element should not touch any cavity walls.

III. ATTACHING THE CORD


A. Align the cord with element pins on the heater. If thread-on style plug, tighten nut "hand tight". If push-on style plug, position
clamp around plug and tighten “hand tight” plus two clicks with the help of pliers.
B. Route the cord to any convenient point and tie cord down to prevent damage and strain. Keep cord away from hot surfaces,
moving objects, abrasion points and road hazards.
Do not plug heater into power supply prior to filling the engine with coolant and bleeding the coolant system
of trapped air. Premature element failure can occur (within minutes) if all of the trapped air is not bled from the
cooling system. Premature element continuity failure is not warrantable.

IV. TESTING THE IN-BLOCK ENGINE HEATER


A. Refill the coolant system. Run engine until internal thermostat opens and continue running engine for 15 to 20 minutes to
eliminate air pockets. Allow engine to cool. Check for leaks and proper coolant level.
B. Plug heater into power supply and test for proper operation. The block near the heater should get hot.

V. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE


A. Plug heater into appropriate power supply based on wattage and voltage listed on heater label.

Use appropriate type and size extension cord based on extension cord manufacturer’s recommendation.

To avoid possibility of electrical or fire hazard, inspect power plug and exposed cord for damage or wear
before each use.

B. To avoid heater damage, disconnect power to heater before starting engine.
