Installation check list
Installation check list before test-run
Installation
• Read manual and use only official Wallas parts.
• Ensure that the boat/cottage/location is sufficiently ventilated.
• Ensure sufficient air ventilation for heater, minimum aperture of 100 cm² (16 sq.in.) into installation area.
• In boat heaters the exhaust pipe outlet must be at least 400mm(16”) away from the opening for filling fuel or tank
breather.
• We recommend installing the control panel on a vertical surface where liquids are not able to leak into the switch
and it is out of reach of children.
Fuel system
• Fuel for the device comes through a separate tank fitting, not via a manifold or connection shared by the engine or
other device.
• Install the filter to the fuel hose before you install the device, in an accessible location for filter changes.
• Fasten the fuel hose couplings tightly. Always use a sleeve joint on the hose (olive ring).
• Make sure that the surfaces of the couplings are clean before fastening them.
• The hoses must be kept clean during installation.
• If the surface of the fuel tank is above the device, a magnetic valve must be installed into the fuel hose close to
the tank.
• Cut the fuel hoses to the appropriate length when installing them.
Electrical installation
• The nominal voltage of the device is 12 VDC.
• Current for the device is taken directly from the battery terminals using cables that are as short as possible.
• Put the main fuse of c. 15 A on the + cable close to the battery.
Exhaust fumes
• When choosing the outlet location, note that exhaust fumes are hot.
• In boat heaters use a goose-neck in exhaust pipe to prevent splash water entering.
• If your installation location is a boat with metal hull, the device and outlet must be insulated from the hull to
prevent electrochemical corrosion.
• The exhaust pipe must not come into contact with combustible materials. Insulate the exhaust hose, if necessary.
Warm coolant hosing
• Flow direction is correct
• All hoses are rising from the lowest point to higher (if not possible then use bleeding valves)
• There are no leakages in the system
• Header tank is large enough
• System contains enough coolant to prevent freezing
• System is bleed correctly
• Hoses are coolant resistant material
