Cold oil takes time to start flowing when you start your vehicle. Until the oil flows, you are wearing out your engine. This heater keeps the oil warm and flowing no matter the outside temperature.

BEFORE INSTALLATION
THE INSTALLATION AREA MUST BE:

Metal surface – Steel, Aluminum, Cast Iron, etc. (Not all oil pans are metal).

Flat – The Wolverine Preheater must have a smooth installation surface area. The Wolverine Preheater must have a solid contact with the oil pan surface.

Smooth – No bumps, ridges, ribs, fins, indentations, grooves, holes or part numbers can be allowed in the installation area.

Clean – Remove all paint, dirt, grease and oil from the installation area.

Warmed – Operate engine as needed to raise oil pan temperature. A pan surface temperature of 100°F (38°C) or more is recommended. If so equipped, refer to the engine oil temperature gauge.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Clean the selected installation area to remove any dirt, grease or oil - a pressure washer works great for this.

2. Grind or sand all paint from the surface area slightly larger than the heater. Do not polish this surface. A coarsely scratched surface is best. 

HEATER MUST BE PLACED ON METAL SURFACE.

3. Use acetone, lacquer thinner or similar agent to wipe the area clean. If these recommended cleaners are not available a strong detergent scrubbing followed by a thorough fresh water rinse and towel dry will do. The surface must be absolutely clean.

DO NOT USE Gasoline • Solvents • Spray Penetrants • Diesel Fuel • Any product that leaves oily film
DO NOT CUT, TRIM or BEND HEATER!

4. Remove the protective covering from the pressure sensitive adhesive. 

AVOID TOUCHING THE ADHESIVE.

 Decide which direction you want the cord to go. Plug in the pad for 

3 to 5 SECONDS (NO LONGER THAN 5 SECONDS)

 to warm the adhesive.

WARNING: The pad will become very hot if plugged in longer and may burn exposed skin or damage heater. Unplug pad before applying to metal surface.

5. Place the edge opposite the cord on the clean surface. With a squeegee (supplied in kit) apply maximum pressure as you affix the pad. Carefully avoid wrinkles or creases; smooth the entire pad to the surface.

6. Attach the first length of AC cord with a cord tie. (supplied in kit). This prevents the weight of the cord from pulling down on the pad.

7. Plug the heater in for 5 to 10 SECONDS, unplug and squeegee the pad again. DO THIS TWICE!

8. Apply a small bead of high temperature silicone adhesive (supplied in kit) around the outside edge of the heating pad. DO NOT force the silicone under the pad. It is important to seal the entire perimeter of the pad for weatherproofing.

DO NOT USE ANY OTHER ADHESIVES TO APPLY PAD TO METAL SURFACE!

9. Route and secure the rest of the AC cord to a convenient location, such as through the grille. Avoid any moving or high temperature parts. Position the power cord so it is held snugly against the oil pan. Plastic ties are provided for use in securing/routing the power cord.

10. Keep all NON-METAL surfaces such as plastic oil pan covers, noise suppressors, rock guards, fiberglass shrouds etc away from pad  to avoid melting, warping or fire hazard.

AFTER INSTALLATION
DO NOT USE THE HEATER FOR 24 HOURS AFTER INSTALLATION. THE ADHESIVE BOND STRENGTH WILL DOUBLE IN 24 HOURS IF NOT USED.  THE HEATER CAN NOT BE REMOVED AND RE-INSTALLED ON A DIFFERENT PAN.
