General Safety Notes

The heater may only be installed in vehicles, with a
minimum coolant capacity of 10 litres (2.6 US Gal.).
The heater must not be installed in the passenger
compartments of the vehicle. Should the heater be
installed in such a compartment, the installation box must
be sealed tight against the vehicle interior. There must
be sufficient ventilation of the installation box from the
exterior in order not to exceed a maximum temperature
of 60 °C (140 °F) in the installation box. Excessive
temperatures may cause malfunctions.
Due to the danger of poisoning and suffocation, the
heater must not be operated in enclosed areas, such as
garages or workshops, without an exhaust venting
system, not even if the start-up is activated by the timer
or remote start device.
Where flammable fumes or dust may build up (e.g. in
the vicinity of fuel, coal, wood, cereal grain deposits or
similar situations) the heater must be switched off to
prevent explosions.
DANGER: Heater must be switched "off" when
refueling at filling stations and/or while loading or
unloading flammable materials for transport, to
prevent the risk of explosion. Please review
owner's manual for safety and use instructions.
