Service Magazine SEPD0591, 13 August 2001, "A New Electronic Controller for the Air Inlet Heater (AIH) Improves the Engine Starting Ability". Disregard this article. See the article that follows.

Description of Change: A new electronic controller improves the engine starting ability. The electronic controller regulates the controlling cycle of the AIH. The AIH is an engine starting aid. Control of the heating cycle helps eliminate excessive white smoke at start-up.

Adaptable To: The new 197-4330 Air Controller replaces the former 104-3204 Air Controller. The new electronic controller for the AIH is effective with the machines that are listed in Table 1. The new controller is adaptable to the models that are listed.

The new components in the air inlet heater arrangement are listed in Table 2. The location of the new controller is shown in Illustration 1. The procedure for the assembly of the new components is included in this article.
