Safety Instructions - Truma Combi D 4 Operating Instructions Manual

Safety instructions

In the event of a leak in the heater, fuel
supply or exhaust duct:
– Switch off the unit,
– Open windows and doors,
– Have the entire system inspected by an
expert.
Guaranteeing a safe operating
environment
– The unit may be operated only with appropri‑
ate Truma control panels and accessories.
– Danger of toxic exhaust fumes. The heater's
exhaust can be toxic in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garages, workshops). If the vehicle is parked
in closed rooms:
– Shut off the fuel supply to the heater
– Deactivate the time switch
– Switch off the heater at the control panel.
– If the cowl has been placed near or directly
beneath an opening window, the appliance
must be equipped with an automatic shut‑off
device in order to prevent operation with the
window open.
– Heat‑sensitive objects (e.g. spray cans) or
flammable materials/liquids must not be
stored in the same compartment where the
heater is installed because, under certain
conditions, this area may be subject to el‑
evated temperatures.
– Keep flammable materials away from the
area in front of the warm air outlets. Never
block the warm air outlets.
– The openings for circulated air intake, the
installation compartment and the space
around the unit must be kept free of ob‑
stacles so that the unit does not overheat.
– The cowl and the combustion air infeed must
be kept free of dirt (e.g. 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 unit anywhere where
flammable vapours or dust can form, e.g.
in the vicinity of a fuel, coal, wood or grain
storage facility or similar.
– A diesel heating system always requires
more power than a comparable gas heating
system. If there is a requirement for autarky
of the same duration (service life without
external power supply), Truma recommends
investigating the possibility of retrofitting a
larger and / or second battery.
Obligations of the operator / vehicle owner
– The operator is responsible for the water
with which the unit's boiler is filled and for
its quality.
– The vehicle owner is responsible for correct
operation of the appliance.
– The installer or vehicle owner must affix the
supplied yellow sticker with the warning
information in a location in the vehicle
where it is clearly visible to all users (e.g. the
wardrobe door). Missing stickers can be
requested from Truma.
– The system must comply with the respect‑
ive regulations of the country in which it is
used. National regulations and rules must be
followed.
– The exhaust system must be inspected by a
qualified technician at regular intervals, not
exceeding 2 years.
– If the heater is not being used, always drain
off the water if there is a risk of frost. No
claims may be made under the warranty for
damage caused by frost.
