9.1 Safety Instruction
Warning!!!!
◆
The entire exhaust system gets very hot during operation and immediately after the
heater has been working. Keep the exhaust system parts away from any flammable
materials; wires, hoses, fuel lines, carpets, plastics, brake lines, etc.
◆
Maintain at least
½”
air gap between the exhaust pipe and sheet metal walls in
order to prevent the heat transferring through the metal and damaging materials on the
other side of the wall. Use heat shields if necessary. Point the heater exhaust tail pipe
slightly downward, in open air, away from travel direction and at least 12
”
away
from any combustible or flammable materials. Tail pipe cannot protrude beyond the
lateral limits of the vehicle. Route the exhaust pipe in such a way so the exhaust
fumes cannot be sucked into the vehicle.
◆
Do not perform any work on the exhaust system while the heater is working.
Before working on the exhaust system, first turn the OFF heater and wait until all
parts have cooled down completely, always wear safety gloves and eye protection.

10.1 The following safety instructions must be observed when mounting the fuel pump,
routing fuel lines and installing fuel tank pick-up tube.

Turn OFF
vehicle engine and heater before working on the fuel supply or before
refueling. Do not use “naked” lights, open flames, do not smoke, do not inhale fuel
vapors and avoid fuel contact with skin. Work only in well ventilated area.
◆
When installing fuel lines, use only a sharp knife to cut fuel hoses and pipes.
Interfaces shall not be crushed and must be free of burrs.
◆
The fuel line from the pump to the heater should be installed at a continuous rise.

system. When the fuel line crosses a hot element, always ensure there is sufficient
clearance. If necessary, install heat deflection plates.
