Installation instructions
Engine block heater 20.2
Model 201
In order to protect the engine from completely cooling down at low outside temperatures, an electric engine block heater can be installed retroactively in a core hole of the engine block to keep warm or heat up the engine coolant.
The engine block heater is connected to the local electricity network via the existing plug on the unit.
It has a power consumption of 500 W at a voltage of 220 V, or 115 V as an alternative.
