Choice of location
Always install the appliance in such a way that it is easily ac-
cessible for service work at all times and can be easily
removed and installed.
Locate the heater in such a way that the cowl can be mount-
ed on the outside on a surface which is as straight and
smooth as possible.
This outside surface must be exposed to wind from all di-
rections and, if possible, there should be no trim strips or
covers in this area, mount heater on an appropriate base, if
necessary.
The cowl must be placed in such a way that the exhaust gas
cannot find its way into the vehicle interior. For this reason,
choose a location where there are no opening windows, sky-
lights or ventilation openings directly above the cowl or within
50 cm on either side. If this is not possible, a warning plate
must be placed on the inside of the window (or skylight) stat-
ing that it must be kept closed while the heater is operating.
In this case refrigerator ventilations must be tight-sealed from
the interior of the vehicle.

Refer to AS5601 – Gas Installations, for location requirements
of the flue terminal.
Installation of the water heater
Position template for cowl opening on the inside of the wall.
A = Bottom edge of heater
B = Lateral edge of heater
Drill 4 holes (C) with 10 mm dia. through the wall. Drill hole (E)
with 15 mm dia. for condensation tube (also possible from the
outside = F).
Position template on the outside of the wall. The markings
(C)
must be above the through-holes. Saw cut-out section for
cowl
(D) 92 x 168 mm.
If the distance between outside wall and heater is more than
35 mm, you must use the cowl extension VBO 2 (please refer
to page 12) with an additional length of 50 mm. Saw out
100 x 176 mm along the dashed line.
If there are any cavities in the area of the cowl, pack these
with pieces of wood so as to be able to tighten the screws.

Cut out trim strips or such on the vehicle or place supports
beneath them so as to make the cowl lie flat.
Place a support beneath the heater if the walls are sloping. An
angle of inclination of 10 degrees is not to be exceeded.
