Safety instructions

The use of upright gas cylinders from which gas is taken in
the gas phase is mandatory for the operation of gas regula-
tors, 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 naked flames
– do not smoke
– switch off the appliances
– shut off the gas cylinder
– open hatch and / or en sure adequate ventilation
– 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 (30 mbar) must be the
same as the unit's operating pressure (see type plate).

Installation example

The drawing shows one possible installation alter na tive. The
layout shown in cludes a heating system with warm air dis-
tribution, a boi ler, as well as gas bottles with gas pressure
regulator and remote gas switch in the bottle compart ment.
The flue can be arranged either above deck or to the side.
Liquid gas systems must comply with the technical and ad-
ministrative regulations of the respective country of use (e.g.
EN 1949 for vehicles or EN ISO 10239 for boats in Europe).
The national regulations and directives (e.g. in Germany the
DVGW-Work Sheet G 607 for vehicles, G 608 for boats or
BGV 146 for commercial inland waterway vessels) need to be
observed.
In Germany the inspection of the system needs to be repeated
every 2 years (or within the deadline stated in the test certifi-
cate) by a liquid gas expert (DVFG, TÜV, DEKRA) or an expert
within the meaning of BGV 146.
The boat / vehicle owner is responsible for having the check
carried out.
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 can be rem-
edied by running the heater at maximum output and ensuring
adequate room ventilation.
If the burner makes an unusual noise or if the flame lifts off, it
is likely that the regulator is faulty and it is essential to have it
checked.
Heat-sensitive objects (e.g. spray cans) must not be stored in
the vicinity of the boiler, since high temperatures may under
certain circumstances be induced in such locations.
Only pressure control equipment that complies with EN 12864
(in vehicles) and EN ISO 10239 (for boats) with a fixed delivery
pressure of 30 mbar must 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.
