- Heats the air inside the engine
- Uses about 300 Watts (less than the price of a cup of coffee a day!)
- Warms the engine oil from subzero to safe starting temperature in less than one hour
- Thermally conductive adhesive for efficient heat transfer and lower surface temperatures
- Extra adhesive also sold separately. Use 00 GLUE KIT for P/Ns 700 and 705, and 20 GLUE KIT for P/N 720 kits.
- Bonded heatsink distributes heat evenly
- Reduces costly starter and engine abuse during cold weather starts
Safe
- UL recognized components. 100% thermal fused element
- External ground wire grounds the engine and airframe to the electrical outlet, reducing the risk of electrical shock in damp outdoor locations
- Thermostatically controlled to maintain oil sump temp less than 160 degrees F
- No flame or hot air to burn cowling or plastic parts
- Reduces the risk of fires associated with cold starts
- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) included to reduce the risk of electrical shock and power surge damage
Installation Tip:
SAFE-HEET engine heaters are installed with a two-part adhesive. The engine heater can be installed quickly and easily by using the 707 temperature controller at half power. At temperatures below 70 degrees F the temperature controller must be used to ensure proper adhesive cure. Proper adhesive cure is essential to service life of the heater.
Cautions:
- Do not plug engine heater in before installation. Heater will be damaged.
- Do not use without the 709 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
- Do not neglect your heater. Periodically inspect for proper grounding, security and cord condition.

FAQs
Why should I buy the McFarlane brand?
What does the GFCI do?
I don’t think enough adhesive was supplied with my SAFE-HEET. Can you send me more or can I use the silicone adhesive?
My GFCI is not working.
Reference the troubleshooting instructions provided with the purchase of a SAFE-HEET. The GFCI will not work unless plugged directly into an outlet. Plug in the GFCI then the temperature controller. The GFCI needs to be the first thing plugged into the circuit. The GFCI needs full voltage to engage. It cannot have an extension cord plugged in the outlet, then the GFCI to the SAFE-HEET. The GFCI does reset itself every time it is unplugged.
Can I install SAFE-HEET on an induction box/Plenum?
Can I use temperature controller P/N 707 with a 220 Volt system?
What setting do I place the 707 controller to get my engine at a certain temperature?
Do you have any advice for installing a SAFE-HEET?
SAFE-HEET engine heaters are installed with a two-part adhesive. The engine heater can be installed quickly and easily by using the 707 temperature controller at half power. At temperatures below 70°F the temperature controller must be used to ensure proper adhesive cure. Proper adhesive cure is essential to full service life of the heater.
Why should I purchase a complete kit?
How long should I let the adhesive cure?
Should I leave the heater plugged in all the time?
What does it cost to operate the SAFE-HEET?
Is there a SAFE-HEET designed to be used with 240 volts?
Can two SAFE-HEET engine heaters be connected to one temperature controller?
