Heater Location

I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : See "Heater Installation Standards" in Section 7 of the Thermo King TriPac Installation Standards Guide (TK
56498). THESE STANDARDS MUST BE FOLLOWED! Correct installation of this heater is necessary to ensure
safe and proper operation. BEFORE installing the heater, thoroughly read and understand "Heater Safety
Precautions" section in this manual along with the heater manufacturer's manuals included with the heater.
The location for mounting the heater will vary depending on the type of tractor. Typically the heater is mounted inside
the sleeper, under the bunk in a storage compartment. However, the heater may be mounted anywhere inside the
tractor provided you adhere to the following conditions:
• Install heater so it will maintain a minimum distance of 2.00 inches (50.8 mm) from any heat sensitive or flammable
material.
• Combustion air intake, exhaust and fuel inlet must be located outside the tractor.
• Install exhaust hose so it will maintain a minimum distance of 2.00 inches (50.8 mm) from any heat sensitive or
flammable material.
• Heater must be mounted on flat horizontal surface providing an air tight seal between heater and tractor.
• All floor matting, carpet, insulation, etc. must be removed to allow the heater to be mounted directly to the bare
floor.
• Heater harness may be repositioned to either side of the heater.
• Floors made of fiberglass covered wood construction require the edges of the access hole be sealed with fiberglass
and epoxy resin.
