4.1 Preparation
Before installation, please use the data badge to check:
• if the heater is in accordance with the order;
• if the heater is suitable for the local present
provisions (gas type, gas pressure, electrical supply
etc.)
Before leaving the factory, the air heater has been tested
for safety and has been set to the operating settings. It has
been configured for the type of gas that is stated on the
data badge. Should there be any doubt about the settings
that apply to your situation, please contact your supplier.

mechanical tension.
NOTICE Always clean the inside of a gas supply line
before connecting it to the air heater. Place a gas filter in
the supply line when needed.
CAUTION! When using pressures above 60 mbar to test
the supply lines, always close the manual isolation valve of
the air heater.
