4. In other countries:
The
technical and administrative
regulations applicable in the
particular country for the ap-
proval and tightness test of
liquid gas systems are to be
respected. For your own safe-
ty, it is essential that the en-
tire gas installation, the de-
vice itself and the exhaust
gas duct, must be inspected
regularly by an authorised
specialist (at the most every
two years).
For further details on the
rules and regulations in the
respective country of desig-
nation, please contact our
agencies abroad (refer to the
International Service, page 57).
5. Do not operate the ap-
pliance when refuelling
the vehicle and when in
the garage.
6. 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
can be remedied by running
the heater at maximum out-
put and ensuring adequate
room ventilation.
7. If the burner makes an un-
usual noise or if the flame lifts
off, it is likely that the regula-
tor is faulty and it is essential
to have it checked.
8. Items sensitive to heat (e.g.
spray cans) must not be
stored in the installation area,
since excess temperatures
may under certain circum-
stances be incurred there.
For the gas system, only gas
pressure regulators with an
over-pressure security device
may be used. These are, for
example, gas pressure regula-
tors for leisure vehicles in ac-
cordance with DIN 4811 or
VP 306 with safety valves,
and for commercial vehicles
in accordance with BGV
D 34, Art. 11, Para. 4 with
protection against impermis-
sibly high pressure increases.
We recommend the Truma
vehicle regulator, or, for the
two-cylinder gas system in
cylinder boxes which are only
accessible from the outside,
the Truma-Triomatic with au-
tomatic reserve switchover.
The Truma regulators have
been specially designed for
heavy duty use in caravans,
boats and vehicles. In addi-
tion to a safety valve they al-
so have a pressure gauge
with which you can check
that the installation is gas-
tight.
Always connect the pressure
regulators to the gas cylin-
ders by hand, taking great
care! For temperatures
around 0°C and below, the
regulators should be operated
with a defroster system (Eis-
Ex). Inspect regulator connec-
tion hoses regularly for signs
of weakness. For winter oper-
ation only use special frost-re-
sistant hoses. Gas cylinders
must always be upright!
If the pressure regulator is ex-
posed to weather conditions -
especially on trucks - always
make sure to protect the reg-
ulator using the Truma pro-
tective cover (standard acces-
sory in truck attachment kit).

6. The installed temperature
limiter shuts off the gas sup-
ply if the appliance becomes
too hot. Therefore do not shut
the warm air outlets and the
opening for the returning cir-
culating air.
7. If the electronic control
p.c.b. is defective, return it
well packed. If you fail to do
so, guarantee claims shall no
longer be valid. Only use
original p.c.b. as a spare part!
8. In Germany, according to
Section 22a of StVZO, the
heat exchanger of heaters
built into motor vehicles must
be replaced with an original
part by the manufacturer or
authorised workshops, ten
years after the year of first
registration (this date must be
scribed on the name plate).
The heater is then to be fitted
with a plate indicating the
selling date of the heat ex-
changer and the word „origi-
nal spare part“ (if exhaust
ducts are conducted through
rooms frequented by people,
these must also be replaced
by original spare parts after
10 years).
The vehicle own-
er is the person responsi-
ble for arranging the in-
spection and the replacing
of the parts.
9. For conducting the exhaust
gas under the floor, the vehi-
cle floor must be sealed tight.
There must also be three
open sides beneath the vehi-
cle floor to ensure unhindered
escape of the exhaust gas
(snow, aprons etc.).
10. Always mount the cover
cap for the wall cowl when
the appliance is not being
used. This applies in particu-
lar when washing the vehicle
and for boats.
Instructions for mobile
heating appliances
Truma mobile cargo-hold
heating units have been ap-
proved by the professional
associations. They are com-
plete heating appliances
which are simply placed in
the cargo hold with the cargo
as the need arises. The
heaters are completely inde-
pendent and require no exter-
nal connections of any kind.
Approval covers only original
mobile cargo-hold heaters
manufactured by Truma. Re-
productions by third parties
have not been approved! Tru-
ma refuses to give any guar-
antee of safety and correct
functioning in respect of a re-
production mobile cargo-hold
heater.
The use of the appliance in
vehicles used for the trans-
port of hazardous goods is
not permitted.
General safety notes
If the gas system is leak-
ing or if there is a smell of
gas:
- extinguish all naked
flames!
- do not smoke!
- switch off the appliances!
- shut off the gas cylinder!
- open the windows!
- do not actuate any
electrical switches!
- have the entire system
checked by an expert!
Repairs may only
be carried out by
an expert!
Attention:
A new O-ring
must always be installed after
dismantling the exhaust duct!
1. Any alteration to the appli-
ance (including exhaust duct
and cowl) or the use of spare
parts and accessories which
are important to the function
of the heater and which are
not original Truma parts, as
well as the non-observance of
the installation and operating
instructions, will lead to the
cancelling of the guarantee
and exclusion of liability
claims. It also becomes illegal
to use the appliance, and in
some countries this even
makes it illegal to use the ve-
hicle.
2. The operating pressure
for the gas supply is
30 mbar (or 28 mbar bu-
tane/37 mbar propane) or
50 mbar and must corre-
spond to the operating
pressure of the appliance
(see name plate).
3. For Germany only:
Liquid gas systems for leisure
vehicles must accord with the
DVGW datasheet G 607 or
G 608 for water sports vehicles.
For vehicles for commercial
use, the relevant accident
prevention regulations issued
by the professional associa-
tions are to be respected
(BGV D 34).
The
inspection of the gas
system
is to be repeated
every two years
by am ap-
proved liquid gas specialist
(DVFG, TÜV, DEKRA). This is
to be confirmed on the corre-
sponding inspection certifi-
cate (G 607, G 608, or BGG
935).
The keeper of the ve-
hicle is responsible for ar-
ranging the inspection.
