PROBLEM
The existing space heaters (600 watt) on certain 3516B, 3516C, 3516C HD, C175-16, and C175-20 Generator Sets are of a lower power capability than what is required to sufficiently heat and prevent moisture from accumulating on generator windings. |

In order to allow equitable parts availability to all participating dealers, please limit your initial parts order to not exceed 32% of dealership population. This is an initial order recommendation only, and the ultimate responsibility for ordering the total number of parts needed to satisfy the program lies with the dealer. |
ACTION REQUIRED
Replace the 600 watt 289-0445 Space Heaters with the 1000 watt 383-1418 Space Heaters. Check wiring to confirm that each space heater is connected to receive 120 volt power. Certain C175-16 Generator Sets (WYB00136 and up) that are equipped with the 275-4183 EMCP3 Box GP are incorrectly wired for the space heaters. Move wire CR2-12-SJ3 from terminal N726(H2) to terminal N725(H1). To achieve a greater amount of spacing from the main stator winding, refer to the procedure for mounting the 383-1418 Space Heater in Engine News, "New Procedure for Mounting Space Heater Is Now Available for Certain Cat Engines and Generator Sets". |
