## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Specified supply voltage and wattage
-   Coolant-circuit heating element
-   Factory cable and sealing arrangement
-   Supports cold-start and standby duty
-   Electrical installation must follow rated supply

## 🔌 Function

Warms engine coolant when connected to the specified 230V supply, improving cold starting and reducing warm-up time for standby duty.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   No temperature rise when energised
-   Tripped breaker or earth-leakage protection
-   Coolant leakage at the heater joint
-   Damaged cable or connector
-   Element short circuit or open circuit

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The cooling system must be filled and properly vented before the heater is switched on — energising the element in a dry or air-locked jacket will burn it out
-   Isolate the shore supply and let the engine cool before removing or fitting a heater, and drain enough coolant to work below the heater opening
-   Renew the sealing ring or gasket at the opening and tighten to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine
-   Inspect the element for scale and the housing for corrosion; a heavily scaled element runs hot and will fail again
-   Have the electrical connection made off correctly and protected, fed from a properly earthed and protected shore supply, and check the cable and connector for damage each season
