If i put in a block heater will it void my warranty? Dk40se it has a hard time starting in cold
I agree with CM, it's not cold enough to be having issues starting yet. As I said in your other thread, if it doesn't start perfectly in this weather, there's an issue. I know your history with your first dealer and the difficulty you'd have getting the tractor to a different dealer, but it may come down to that.
Mine came with a dealer installed lower rad heater. I've seen posts on the Bobcat side about getting a real block heater, but to my knowledge, there isn't one available through Kioti. CM, is yours an actual block heater or a lower rad hose heater?
I have a (freeze plug located) block heater, as already stated; and I checked with my selling dealer, he says mine is probably a Kats brand, and he is currently selling Tisco brand heaters. They sell what's available and best priced at a particular time.
I've never used mine to date, my tractor relaxes in a radiant floor heated barn...:dance1:
BTW,
A block heater isn't going to void any warranty; it's not up to the individual dealers to dictate warranty issues, its either written into the factory warranty papers or it isn't. Case closed.:thumbsup:
If the dealer finds an authorized modification causes a component to fail, they can void the warranty......that said, only thing a blockheater could really ruin would be if it leaked......they cannot void a fuel issue or transmission for example because of a blockheater.
