Air Top 2000 ST - Air Top Evo 40/55 Mode of Operation Mode of Operation The air heater in the locker draws in outside air through the intake opening with an integrated fan. The air heated in the heater unit flows into the bow through connected warm air hoses. The warm air enters the cabins at the air outlets.
Installation Air Top 2000 ST - Air Top Evo 40/55 Installation IMPORTANT! The regulations governing installation on pages 7-10 must be adhered to. The heater must not be operated without the control unit cover (this will cause the heater to overheat) The installation instruction manual supplied with the heater must always be observed.

Air Top 2000 ST - Air Top Evo 40/55 Fuel System Fuel System This heater installation must follow the American Boat & Yacht Council, Inc. (ABYC) guidelines. The Fuel system conforms to Inland Waterways specifications. Several specific regulations may apply including the use of flame resistant fuel pipe such as copper pipe, and fire resistant fixings.
Page 24
In the case of gasoline powered marine vessels, a separate fuel tank must be provided to supply Diesel fuel to the Webasto air heater. Gasoline fuel fired Webasto auxiliary heaters are not recommended nor certified for marine use and must never be installed in marine vessels.
Air Top 2000 ST - Air Top Evo 40/55 Fuel System The total length of fuel line run including the fuel pick-up tube to the inlet of the fuel pump must not exceed 2 meters (78 in.) and a suction height no greater than 1 meter (39 in.).
