Description

Carburetor heater kits are recommended for improved cold starting in locations where the temperatures falls below 0_C
(32_F). Carburetor heaters prevent condensation and carburetor icing. The heater turns on when the temperature at the
thermostat falls below approximately 4_C(40_F) and turns off when the temperature rises above approximately 16_C
(60_F).

The carburetor heater for models 6VSG, 8.5RES, 12RES/RESL, and 14RES/RESL/RESA/RESAL mounts between the
engine air cleaner and the carburetor. The carburetor heater for models 8/10/12RESV/RESVL uses an adaptor to mount
on the carburetor. The carburetor heater for models 17/18RES/RESL, 20RES/RESL/RESA/RESAL, and 20RESB fits
into a threaded opening on the carburetor.

Carburetor heater kits are available in 120 volt or 240 volt versions.

Note: The heater requires a continuous source of AC power. The generator set must be connected to an AC power

source that is backed up by the generator set.
