Safety Instructions - Truma Combi 2 E Operating Instructions Manual

Safety instructions

The use of upright gas cylinders from which
gas is taken in the gas phase is mandatory
for the operation of gas regulators, gas equip-
ment 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 open flames
– open windows and door
– close all quick-acting valves and gas
cylinders
– do not smoke
– do not activate any electric switches
– ask an expert to inspect the entire system!
Repairs may only be carried out by an
expert!
This device may be used by children aged
8 years or above and by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and / or knowledge, provided
that they are being supervised or have been
given instruction with regard to the safe use of
the device and have understood the potential
risks. Children must not use the device as a toy.
Guarantee claims, warranty claims and ac-
ceptance 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 operat-
ing instructions.
It also becomes illegal to use the appliance,
and in some countries this even makes it ille-
gal to use the vehicle.
The operating pressure for the gas supply is
2.75 kPa and must correspond to the operat-
ing pressure of the appliance (see type plate).
LPG systems and pressure regulators must
comply with the technical and administrative
regulations of the country in which the ap-
pliance is used (AS/NZS 5601). 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.
Liquefied gas equipment may not be used
when refuelling, in multi-storey car parks, in
garages, or on ferries.
During the initial operation of a brand new ap-
pliance (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 hot
water mode (60 °C) and to make sure that the
area is well ventilated.
– 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.
– Do not modify this appliance.
The flow rate of the pressure control device
must correspond to at least the maximum
consumption of all devices installed by the
system manufacturer.
We recommend the gas pressure control
system Truma MonoControl CS for vehicles
and the Truma gas pressure control system
DuoControl CS for dual-cylinder gas systems.
At temperatures of around 0 °C or less the gas
pressure regulator and the changeover valve
should be operated using the EisEx regulator
heater.
Controller connecting hoses that meet na-
tional regulations must always be used in the
respective country for which the equipment is
destined. These hoses must be checked regu-
larly for brittleness. Winter-proof special hoses
must always be used if the equipment is oper-
ated during the winter.
