Launch procedure begins with quick purging of the combustion chamber. Next, the
ignition process starts, and the heater reaches the required operation mode.
9.5
Switch the heater off. If the heater is switched off, gas supply stops, and the
combustion chamber and the heat exchanger are purged with air.
9.6
Start the heater with the vehicle engine on and check functioning of the heater.
Attention!
1
During the first launch after installation, good practice is to fill the fuel line
up to the heater intake nozzle with air using the booster pump. In case no booster
pump is available, launch the heater several times to ensure the fuel line is full.
2
Remember that in case the heater fails to start in the heating mode, the
control unit automatically repeats the launch attempt.

Recommendations
10.1 To ensure reliability of heater operation, start it up once every month for 5–10
minutes (including during the warm season if the heater is not in use). This is necessary to
remove viscous film deposits from moving parts of the fuel pump. Failure to do so may lead
to a heater malfunction.
10.2 Operation of the heater depends on fuel used. Use fuel compatible with GOST
305-82 and with ambient temperature (see table 10.1). Fuel mixtures are also allowed, if
compliant with Fig. 10.
