Information on Operating and Installation Instructions

1 Important information (not complete)
1.1 Installation and repair
The improper installation or repair of Webasto heating and cooling systems
can cause fire or the leakage of deadly carbon monoxide, leading to serious
injury or death.
To install and repair Webasto heating and cooling systems you need to have
completed a special company training course and have the appropriate tech-
nical documentation, special tools and special equipment.
Installation and repair may ONLY be carried out by persons trained and cer-
tified in a Webasto training course. NEVER try to install or repair Webasto
heating or cooling systems if you have not completed a Webasto training
course, you do not have the necessary technical skills and you do not have
the technical documentation, tools and equipment available to ensure that
you can complete the installation and repair work properly.
Only use genuine Webasto parts. See the Webasto air and water heaters ac-
cessories catalogue for this purpose.
1.2 Operation
To ensure safe operation, we recommend having the heater checked every two years
by an authorised Webasto dealer, especially when used over a long period and/or un-
der extreme environmental conditions.
Do not operate the heater in closed rooms due to the danger of poisoning and suffo-
cation.
Always switch off the heater before refuelling.
The heater may only be used with the prescribed fuel diesel (DIN EN 590) or petrol
(DIN EN 228).
The heater may not be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner.
1.3 Please note
ALWAYS follow all Webasto installation and operating instructions and observe all
warnings.
To become familiar with and understand all functions and properties of the heater, the
operating instructions must be read carefully and observed at all times.
For proper, safe installation and repair work, the installation instructions with all warn-
ings and safety information must be carefully read and observed at all times. Please
always contact a workshop authorised by Webasto for all installation and repair work.
Webasto shall assume no liability for defects, damage and injuries resulting
from a failure to observe the installation, repair and operating instructions of the
information contained in them.
This liability exclusion particularly applies to improper installations and repairs,
installations and repairs by untrained persons or in the case of a failure to use
genuine spare parts.
The liability due to culpable disregard to life, limb or health and due to damage
or injuries caused by a wilful or reckless breach of duty remain unaffected, as
does the obligatory product liability.
Installation should be carried out according to the general, standard rules of
technology. Unless specified otherwise, fasten hoses, lines and wiring harness-
es to original vehicle lines and wiring harnesses using cable ties. Insulate loose
wire ends and tie back. Connectors on electronic components must audibly
snap into place during assembly.
Sharp edges should be fitted with rub protection. Spray unfinished body areas,
e.g. drilled holes, with anti-corrosion wax (Tectyl 100K).
Observe the instructions and guidelines of the respective vehicle manufacturer
for demounting and mounting vehicle specific components!
The initial startup is to be executed with the Webasto Thermo Test Diagnosis.
When installing a programmable control module (e.g. a PWM Gateway), the cor-
responding settings must be checked or adjusted.
2 Statutory regulations governing installation
Guidelines
Heating Directive ECE R122
EMC Directive ECE R10
The regulations of these guidelines are binding in the scope of the Directive
70/156/EEC and/or 2007/46/EC (for new vehicle models from 29/04/2009) and should
also be observed in countries in which there are no special regulations.
Failure to follow the installation instructions will result in the invalidation of the type ap-
proval for the heater and therefore invalidation of the general homologation of the
vehicle.
The heater is licensed in accordance with paragraph 19, section 3, No. 2b of the StV-
ZO (German Road Traffic Licensing Authority).

REQUIREMENTS FOR COMBUSTION HEATERS
AND THEIR INSTALLATION
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
1.7.1. A clearly visible tell-tale in the operator's field of view shall inform when the
combustion heater is switched on or off.
2. VEHICLE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
2.1. Scope
2.1.1. Subject to paragraph 2.1.2. combustion heaters shall be installed according
to the requirements of this Annex.
2.1.2. Vehicles of category O having liquid fuel heaters are deemed to comply with
the requirements of this Annex.
2.2. Positioning of heater
2.2.1. Body sections and any other components in the vicinity of the heater must be
protected from excessive heat and the possibility of fuel or oil contamination.
2.2.2. The combustion heater shall not constitute a risk of fire, even in the case of
overheating. This requirement shall be deemed to be fulfilled if the installation
ensures an adequate distance to all parts and suitable ventilation, by the use
of fire resistant materials or by the use of heat shields.
2.2.3. In the case of M2 and M3 vehicles, the heater must not be positioned in the
passenger compartment. However, an installation in an effectively sealed en-
velope which also complies with the conditions in paragraph 2.2.2 may be
used.
2.2.4. The label referred to in paragraph 1.4 or a duplicate, must be positioned so
that it can be easily read when the heater is installed in the vehicle.
2.2.5. Every reasonable precaution should be taken in positioning the heater to
minimise the risk of injury and damage to personal property.
2.3. Fuel supply
2.3.1. The fuel filler must not be situated in the passenger compartment and must
be provided with an effective cap to prevent fuel spillage.
2.3.2. In the case of liquid fuel heaters, where a supply separate to that of the vehi-
cle is provided, the type of fuel and its filler point must be clearly labelled.
2.3.3. A notice, indicating that the heater must be shut down before refuelling, must
be affixed to the fuelling point. In addition a suitable instruction must be in-
cluded in the manufacturer's operating manual.
2.4. Exhaust system
2.4.1. The exhaust outlet must be located so as to prevent emissions from entering
the vehicle through ventilators, heated air inlets or opening windows.
2.5. Combustion air inlet
2.5.1. The air for the combustion chamber of the heater must not be drawn from the
passenger compartment of the vehicle.
2.5.2. The air inlet must be so positioned or guarded that blocking by rubbish or lug-
gage is unlikely.
2.6. Heating air inlet
2.6.1. The heating air supply may be fresh or recirculated air and must be drawn
from a clean area not likely to be contaminated by exhaust fumes emitted ei-
ther by the propulsion engine, the combustion heater or any other vehicle
source.
2.6.2. The inlet duct must be protected by mesh or other suitable means.
2.7. Heating air outlet
2.7.1. Any ducting used to route the hot air through the vehicle must be so posi-
tioned or protected that no injury or damage could be caused if it were to be
touched.
2.7.2. The air outlet must be so positioned or guarded that blocking by rubbish or
luggage is unlikely.
