1.5 Accessories
The following optional accessories are offered for the
generator sets.
1.5.1 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 requires a continuous source of AC power.
Install the heater between the engine air cleaner and the
carburetor. Plug the carburetor heater into a 120 VAC
receptacle. Verify that AC power is connected to the
generator set as described in the generator set
Installation Manual. The circuit must be backed up by
the generator set to provide power at all times.
See the generator set Installation manual for more
information.
