Engine Heater SafeStart 600 series

Heaters in the 600 series are used for air-cooled engines or in combination with an engine heater for the coolant. Oil manufacturers have stipulated a maximum value of 2.4 W/cm² for the surface of the heating element to prevent any adverse effects on the quality of the oil. For large vehicles with oil pans of adequate size, the active part of the element is placed in the oil. The power of the oil heater is usually rated at 250W. Therefore, these elements do not have a lead fuse.
