Safety instructions
The use of upright gas cylinders from which gas is
taken in
the gas phase
is mandatory for the operation of gas regu-
lators, gas equipment and gas systems. Gas cylinders from
which gas is taken in the liquid phase (e.g. for fork lifts) must
not be used, since they would result in damage to the gas
system.
If the gas system is leaking or if there is a smell of gas:
– extinguish all flames
– do not smoke
– switch off the appliances
– shut off the gas cylinder
– open windows and door
– do not actuate any electrical switches
– have the entire system checked by an expert!
Repairs may only be carried out by an expert!
A new O-ring must always be installed after dismantling the
exhaust duct!
Guarantee claims, warranty claims and acceptance of liability
will be ruled out in the event of the following:
– modifications to the unit (including accessories),
– modifications to the exhaust duct and the cowl,
– failure to use original Truma parts as replacement parts and
accessories,
– failure to follow the installation and operating instructions.
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 (2.75 kPa) must be the
same as the unit´s operating pressure (see type plate).
LPG Systems and pressure regulators must comply with
the technical and administrative regulations of the country
in which the appliance is used. For your own safety it is
absolutely necessary to have the complete gas installation
regularly checked by an expert (at least every 2 years).
The vehicle owner is always responsible for arranging
the gas inspection.
Pressure regulating equipment and hoses must be replaced
with new ones no more than 10 years after the date of
manufacture. This is the responsibility of the operator.
Liquid gas equipment must not be used when refuelling, 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.
This will be remedied by running the heater and ensuring ade-
quate room ventilation.
If the burner makes an unusual noise, it is likely that the
gas pressure regulator is faulty and it is essential to have it
checked.
Do not place articles on or against this appliance.
Do not use or store flammable materials near this appliance.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it
is in operation.
For the gas supply, only a pressure regulator with a fixed de-
livery pressure of 2.75 kPa may be used.
The flow rate of the pressure control device must correspond
to at least the maximum consumption of all devices installed
by the system manufacturer.
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 regular-
ly for brittleness. Winter-proof special hoses must always be
used if the equipment is operated during the winter.
Important operating notes
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 conducting exhaust gas and sup-
plying combustion air, free from contamination (slush, leaves
etc.).
The installed temperature limiter shuts off the gas supply if
the appliance becomes too hot. Therefore do not shut the
warm air outlets and the opening for the returning circulating
air.
The cabin air flow through the heater must not be restricted in
any way. Do not use any after market air filters or air grills.
The use of such components may cause the unit to over heat.
Warning: Air from the discharge vent may be hot. Do not
place combustible materials directly in front of the discharge
vent. Keep curtains, bedding and other flammable materials
away from the vent.
Always use original Truma parts for maintenance and repair
work!
