Installing the Exhaust System
3.1 Before You Begin
For efficient and safe operation of the Oasis
®
Chinook Heating
System follow all recommendations for properly installing the
exhaust. Any deviations from these must be approved in advance
by ITR.
Although the heater’s exhaust produces very low carbon monoxide
emissions, caution is still advised:
·
Do not operate the Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System in an
enclosed area unless there is adequate ventilation.
·
This is a direct vent system. The combustion air must be
drawn directly from the outside, without coming in contact
with air that can infiltrate the living areas. See section 3.3.
Never place any exhaust parts close to combustible material or
through a combustible wall or ceiling without fireproof protection.
The exhaust can reach high temperatures.
3.2 Mounting Location
If you can’t meet the technical specifications for mounting
the exhaust, don’t use the Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System.
The unit may perform poorly or become damaged if not
installed according to specifications.
Recommended Exhaust Outlet Locations
The following is recommended for a coach exhaust outlet location:
·
Mount the exhaust outlet outside the coach, not inside the
heater compartment. Otherwise, exhaust fumes could
infiltrate the coach from the Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System.
