that are not original Truma parts and failure
to follow the installation and operating
instructions will cancel the warranty and
indemnify Truma from any liability claims. It also
becomes illegal to use the appliance, and in
some countries this even makes it illegal to use
the vehicle.
The gas supply’s operating pressure (30 mbar)
must be the same as the unit’s operating
pressure (see type plate).
The vehicle owner is always responsible for
arranging the inspection.
Liquid gas equipment may not be used when
refueling, in multi-storey car parks, in garages,
or on ferries.
During the initial operation of a brand new
appliance (or after it has not been used for
some time), a slight amount of fumes and
smell may be noticed for a short while. It is a
good idea to heat the device up several times
in summer operation (60° C) and to make sure
that the area is well ventilated.
Heat-sensitive objects such as spray cans
or flammable liquids may not be stored in
the same compartment where the heater is
installed because, under certain conditions,
this area may be subject to elevated
temperatures.
Only pressure regulating equipment that
complies with EN 12864 (in vehicles) with fixed
output pressure of 30 mbar may be used for
the gas system. The flow rate of the pressure
control device must correspond to at least the
maximum consumption of all devices installed
by the system manufacturer.
For vehicles, we recommend Truma’s
SecuMotion gas pressure regulator; for the
two-cylinder gas system we also recommend
the Truma DuoComfort changeover valve.
At temperatures below 5° C, the gas pressure
regulator or the changeover valve should be
used with EisEx regulator heating.
Controller connecting hoses that meet national
regulations must always be used in the
respective country for which the equipment
is destined. These hoses must be checked
regularly for brittleness. Winter-proof special
hoses must always be used if the equipment is
operated during the winter.
Pressure regulating equipment and hoses
must be replaced with new ones no more
than 10 years after the date of manufacture
(every 8 years if used commercially). This is the
responsibility of the operator.
Do not use the boiler water as drinking
water!
Important operating notes
If the cowl has been placed near or directly
beneath an opening window, the device
must be equipped with an automatic shut-off
device in order to prevent operation with the
window open.
The integrity and tight fit of the exhaust gas
double duct must be checked regularly,
particularly at the end of long trips. Also check
the mounting of the appliance and the cowl.
Following a blow-back (misfire) always have
the exhaust gas system checked by an expert!
Always keep the cowl for the exhaust duct and
combustion air intake free of contamination
(slush, ice, leaves etc.). The warm air outlets
and the openings for circulation air return must
be unobstructed so the unit will not overheat.
The integrated temperature limiter blocks the
gas supply when the unit becomes too hot.
!
WARNING:
Care should be taken
to ensure adequate ventilation of the flue
at all times. It is inadvisable to inhale
exhaust fumes.
Directive 2004/78/EC stipulates that a safety
shut-off device is required if motor homes are
being heated while driving.
The Truma SecuMotion gas pressure regulator
meets this requirement.
Note:
If the Truma SecuMotion gas pressure
regulator is not installed, the gas cylinder
must be closed while driving and warning
signs must be in place in the gas cylinder
protection box and near the control panel.
The safety shut-off device is also
recommended for safety reasons if
motorhomes are being heated while driving.
