Basic Kit Installation
After selecting the heater location, temporarily tape the provided template in place and center punch hole locations for
drilling or use the rubber base gasket of the heater as a template to map out hole locations.. With a hole saw, cut the
29 mm (1.14 in.) and 28 mm (1.1 in.) holes as shown. Drill the 5 remaining 7.5 mm (0.295 in.) mounting holes.
1. Position heater with rubber gasket over mounting holes and secure with fasteners provided.
2. Install combustion air tube, exhaust tube and fuel line from underside of vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten mounting fasteners! Doing so will distort mounting plate and heater which may result in fan motor
failure. Tighten mounting fasteners sufficiently to make an air-tight seal between the heater base and floor. Ensure that
the heater base with gasket cover the entire hole.
Optional Mounting Plate
After selecting the heater location, use the template provided with kit and cut the center hole 100 mm (4” in. dia.) with a
hole saw or jig saw. Using the template, drill 8 holes 7 mm (1/4 in. dia.) for securing the mounting plate to the floor.
For ease of installation, now is a good time to make the fuel, exhaust and combustion air connections at the base of the
heater. With the fuel line, exhaust and air intake attached, position and center the heater over the mounting hole and
secure with the hardware provided.
ATTENTION!
Plan, measure and cut holes carefully!. Precision is extremely important in this mounting configuration.
