Thermo E+ 120/200/320

8 Repairs

NOTE:

The combustion chamber should be inserted into the 
heat exchanger in such a way that its welding seam is 
positioned between 2 and 10 o clock (not upwards!) 
(

Fig. 806

). A position change during maintenance is 

permissible and affects the expected service life of the 
combustion chamber positively.

Position the cut-outs in the combustion chamber head 
as shown in 

Fig. 806

. Dripping from nozzle fuel is so 

collected in a reservoir between disc and burner head 
and will be burned at the next burner operation 
instead to soil the heater.

2. Install burner (see 

8.2

).

8.14 Heat exchanger removal and 

installation

 

The combustion chamber and heat exchanger can
bevery hot. If necessary, let them cool down.

Removal

1. Disconnect the heater from the vehicle electrical sys-

tem (

Observe

 

5.2

 !).

2. Unplug connector of the temperature sensors (3, 

Fig. 

801

).

3. Remove combination nuts (2) and separate burner (1) 

from the heat exchanger.

4. If necessary, loosen the exhaust line clamp on the 

exhaust outlet (3, 

Fig. 806

).

5. If existing, close water taps.

Risk of injuries if coolant temperature is increased.

6. Loosen hose clamps on the coolant hoses, pull 

coolant hoses from the coolant inlet (5) and the  
coolant outlet (6) and seal with blank plugs.

7. Remove screws and washers of the heat exchanger 

stand (4).

8. Pull combustion chamber (1) out of the heat 

exchanger (2).

9. If necessary remove temperature sensors (see 

8.3

).

10. Remove heat exchanger from vehicle.

Installation

1. Position the combustion chamber (1) correctly into the 

heat exchanger (2) (see 

Fig. 806

).

2. If necessary install the temperature sensors (see 

8.3

).

3. Bring heat exchanger (2) into installation position and 

mount stand (4) using screws, nuts and washers to 
the vehicle according to the mounting points used.

4. If necessary, secure the exhaust line using a clamp to 

the exhaust outlet (3). 

5. Fit coolant hoses (7) onto the coolant inlet (5) and the 

coolant outlet (6) and secure with hose clamps (8). 

6. f available, open water taps.
7. Bring burner (1, 

Fig. 801

) in assembly position and 

ensure center alignment and correct fit.

8. Place nuts (2) and alternately tighten them slightly.
9. Tighten nuts (2). For tightening torque, refer to 

Fig. 

801

).

10. Connect the heater with the vehicle electrical system.
11. Bleed coolant ciruit (see 

8.16.2

).

ATTENTION:

The two combination nuts M8, connecting the burner 
head and the heat exchanger, must be tightened to 
torque, see  

Fig. 801

, each and additional are to be 

secured using thread lock.

8.15 Heater removal and installation

ATTENTION:

The fuel supply system must be subsequently
bleeded (see 

8.16.1

).

The coolant circuit must be subsequently bleeded
(see 

8.16.2

).

Removal

1. Remove burner (see 

8.2

)

2. Remove heat exchanger (see 

8.14

).

Installation

1. Install heat exchanger (see 

8.14

2. Install burner (see 

8.2

)

3. Bleed coolant circuit (see 

8.16.2

).

4. Bleed fuel system (see 

8.16.1

.).

Risk of burns!

Caution!

Risk of scalds!
