Safety instructions

In the event of a leak in the heater,
fuel supply or the exhaust duct:
– switch off heater,
– open windows and door,
– ask an expert to inspect the entire system!
Ensuring a safe operating environment
– The unit may be operated only with appropri-
ate Truma control panels and accessories.
– Danger of suffocation! To ensure dissipa-
tion of exhaust gases, operate the device
outdoors only. Never use in enclosed spaces
or tents or breathe in the exhaust gases.
– If the cowl has been placed near or directly
beneath an opening window, the device
must be equipped with an automatic shut-off
device in order to prevent operation with the
window open.
– 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.
– Do not use any after market air filters or
air grills. The use of such components may
cause the unit to overheat.
– Keep flammable materials away from the ar-
ea in front of the hot air outlets. Never block
the hot air outlets.
– In order to avoid overheating of the
Truma Combi, keep the air inlets of the
Truma Combi, the air openings to the area
in which the Truma Combi heater is installed
and the spacing around the Truma Combi
heater free of obstruction.
– Keep the cowl for the exhaust duct and
combustion air intake free of contamination
(slush, ice, leaves etc.) at all times.
– Danger from hot surfaces and exhaust gas.
Do not touch the area around the wall cowl
and do not lean any objects against the wall
cowl or the vehicle.
– Do not operate the heater anywhere where
flammable vapours or dust can form, e.g. in
the vicinity of a fuel, carbon, wood or cereal
storage facility or similar.
– 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 ma-
terials away from the vent.
– If fitting an isolation switch, the switch must
be installed in such a position that the heater
can not be switched off unintentionally. The
heater must always be turned off at the heat-
er control. The 12 V isolation switch should
only be used after the heater has com-
pleted its cool down cycle and has stopped
completely.
– A diesel heating system always needs more
power than a similar gas heating system.
If there is a requirement for autarky of the
same duration (service life without external
power supply), Truma recommends investi-
gating the possibility of retrofitting a larger
and / or second battery.
– Water may drip from the discharge pipe of
the P&T relief valve and this pipe must be
left open to the atmosphere.
– Any discharge pipe connected to the
P&T relief valve is to be installed in a con-
tinuously downward direction and in a frost
free ambient.
Obligations of the operator / vehicle owner
– The operator is responsible for the water
filled into the Truma Combi water container
and its quality.
– The vehicle owner is responsible for correct
operation of the Truma Combi.
