Using Auxiliary Heaters

causym CAUTION: To avoid electrical shock or fire, use a three-wire, 14 AWG (14 gauge), heavy-duty electrical cord with 15-amp rating, suitable for outdoor use. Always plug electrical cord into a 12-volt outlet protected by GFI (ground fault interrupter).

Before connecting heater to power source, be sure that the element is immersed in coolant. NEVER energize heater in air. Doing so can cause element sheath to burst causing personal injury.

Optional auxiliary heaters available from your John Deere dealer:

  • Engine Block (1000 W)

The 1000-watt, 220-volt coolant heater is located on side of engine:

  • 6.8 L Engine-Right-Hand Side
  • 8.1 L Engine-Left-Hand Side

By warming engine coolant the heater reduces oil drag, eases starting and shortens warm up time.
