Block Heaters

CAUTION

DO NOT leave optional Block Heaters plugged in for extended periods when temperatures may rise above 20oF, (-6.67oCelsius). The oil could "cook" inside the crankcase and damage to the engine could result.

If the water system is not drained when the saw is not in use and temperatures fall below 32o F, (0o C), damage may occur to optional water pumps.

In extreme cold weather, optional Block Heaters may be used. Block Heaters are installed directly onto the crankcase and are operated by plugging into a 110VAC electrical outlet. Be sure to use appropriate guage wire when using extension cords and abide by all safety rules when using electical power, power cords, and extension cords. Do not use Block Heaters when the when temperatures are above 20o F, (-6.67oCelsius).

Draining theWater System

When low temperatures fall below 32o F, (0o C):

1.If the saw is equipped with an optional Water Pump, open the drain petcock on the pump and allow the pump to drain. Turn the water pump switch on for a few seconds to purge any water remaining inside the pump body.

2. Tilt the saw UP and BACK, to allow water to drain.

3.Tilt the saw FORWARD, to allow water to drain again.

4.If an air compressor is available, blow out the system by applying compressed air to the Water Inlet.
