Regulation for Installation in the Vessel

Read this installation manual in its entirety before installing this equipment.
In the following we would like to provide some useful advice and tips which, when followed, will ensure
that the heating system fully meets your specific needs.
The installation instruction manual supplied with the heater must always be observed.
2.1 General Installation Notes
When installing the heater, the maximum inclination of the marine vessel must be taken into account. The
heater must not be submerged, for example, in the bilge water when the vessel is in an inclined position.
The heater must be installed horizontally and parallel with the longitudinal axis of the vessel. The
positional changes that are normal during heeling are acceptable.
The installation location should not be situated next to the berths or adjacent to the salon, if possible.
The heating air (cool air return) must not be extracted from the engine room.
DO NOT store flammable material in the vicinity of the heater and its exhaust gas line. This also applies to
flammable liquids, dusts, vapors and gases.
Resilient mounting of the heater is recommended in order to absorb vibrations. In most cases, this results
in a significant noise reduction.

2.3

Position of the Heater

CAUTION!
When heater is in use, the surface of the hot air outlet may become hot to the touch. Contact with skin
may cause burns.
When selecting a mounting location for the heater, keep in mind storage and the movement of gear, i.e.
sail stowage, fender stowage, conduits and service access points, steering gear linkages etc.
In selecting the best mounting location, first consider all installation aspects and the constraints they will
place on the mounting location, i.e. electrical harness routing, fuel pick-up point, fuel line routing, fresh air
and heated air ducting, and most importantly, the exhaust line maximum length and outlet position.
