Picture shown may not reflect actual configuration

Caterpillar offers a factory-installed jacket water heater for improved cold-starting capability.

The Jacket Water Heater with the pump is a complete coolant preheater with thermostat, pump and all
required controls.
Forced circulation of the coolant delivers uniform heating throughout the entire engine, extends element life
and offers a significant reduction in electrical consumption.
The Jacket Water Heater operates automatically when provided contacts are supplied with a 24 Volt DC
signal from the engine.

FEATURES HEATER OPERATION/WIRING
