Safe operation
– During heater operation, do not allow the
fuel display in the fuel tank to drop to the
“low fuel” mark.
If the vehicle fuel tank runs empty, the open-
ing of the fuel removal duct is roughly at the
same height as the surface of the fuel. In
this state, particularly when the fuel in the
vehicle fuel tank is slopping around due to
vehicle movement, a large amount of air is
sucked in. This leads to an irregular supply
of fuel to the heater. The heater burner is
unable to maintain clean combustion in this
condition, leading to the formation of smoke
and odours.
– Ensure that the inside of the vehicle is suf-
ficiently ventilated. When the unit is started
up, there may be some smoke and/or smell
due to dust or dirt. Especially if it has not
been used for a long time.
– The appliance can be used by children aged
8 and over, as well as by persons with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capabili-
ties or with a lack of experience and knowl-
edge, provided that they are supervised or
have been instructed on how to use the ap-
pliance safely and that they understand the
resulting risks. Children must not be allowed
to play with the appliance.
– The exhaust double duct (exhaust gas sound
muffler and extraction duct) must be in-
spected regularly, particularly following long
journeys, to check for any damage and to
ensure that the connection is sound. The
same applies to the mounting of the heater
and the cowl.
Operation while driving
– The heater must not be used during refuelling
or in enclosed car parks, in garages, or on
ferries.
– To prevent damage to the appliance from
spray water, such as when cleaning the ve-
hicle, do not spray water directly into the
wall cowl.
Troubleshooting
– If you notice unusual noises or smells,
switch off the Combi.
– Danger of fire / explosion if you attempt to
use a unit that has been damaged by flood-
ing or if the vehicle has been involved in an
accident. An expert must inspect the unit
and replace moisture-damaged parts. The
damaged unit must be replaced by a new
one if necessary.
– Repairs to the appliance may only be carried
out by an expert.
– Have faults repaired by an expert without
delay.
– Only carry out repairs yourself if the solution
is described in the troubleshooting guide of
this manual.
– Following a deflagration (backfire), have the
appliance and the exhaust duct checked by
an expert.
Maintenance / Repairs / Cleaning
– The appliance may only be repaired and
cleaned by an expert.
– Maintenance, repairs and cleaning must not
be done by children.
– Guarantee claims, warranty claims and ac-
ceptance of liability will be ruled out in the
event of the following:
– Modifications to the appliance (including
accessories),
– Modifications to the exhaust duct and the
cowl,
– Use of replacement and accessory parts
other than original Truma parts,
– Failure to follow the installation and
operating instructions.
The appliance’s operating permit, and conse-
quently also the vehicle’s operating permit in
some countries, are also rendered void.
– With a new Combi or if the appliance has not
been used for some time, thoroughly rinse
all hot/cold water hoses with drinking water
before use.
