5.3 Oil Pan Heater

Cold, thick engine oil does not flow freely and may cause engine starting difficulties. An oil pan heater installed on the engine oil pan keep s the oil warm and flowing. Heat from this electrical device warms the supply of engine oil contained in the pan while the machine is not in use. Plug the cord into a 120V power supply.

5.4 RCBO Circuit Breaker

Available for 50 Hz machines is an Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection (RCBO). On these machines, the RCBO takes the place of the standard receptacle circuit breaker. Machines with RCBOs have neutral bonded to ground and thus these machines require grounding.

The RCBO functions as an overcurrent protection device and a current leakage detection device.

Whenever an overcurrent condition or a current leakage condition exists, the RCBO’s activation lever springs to the OFF position. This opens the circuit. If the activation lever springs to the OFF position during use, there is a problem. Do not use the receptacle until the problem is corrected.

wc_gr011379

Test the RCBO every 6 months.

Note: The RCBO must be connected and the main circuit breaker must be in the ON position when testing.

To test:

1. Set the activation lever (a) to the ON position.

2. Press the “TEST” button (b). The activation lever must spring to the OFF position. If it does not, the RCBO has failed. Replace it.
