Safety behavior and practices

• Installation and service must be performed
by an authorized Truma recommended
installer, service agency, or OEM. Improper
installation, alteration, service, or mainte-
nance can cause property damage, personal
injury, or loss of life.
– Do not attempt installation as a Do-it-
Yourself project.
• Install in recreational vehicles (RVs) only.
– Install the Truma AquaGo™ instant water
heater on an exterior wall, with the ac-
cess door opening to the outside.
– Install the Truma AquaGo™ instant water
heater in the shown orientation.
• Switch off the vehicle's on-board power sup-
ply during installation and when connecting
the Truma AquaGo™ instant water heater.
• Close the vehicle's gas supply during
installation and when connecting the
Truma AquaGo™ instant water heater.
• Always wear protective gloves to avoid inju-
ries from sharp edges during installation and
maintenance work.
• Handle the Truma AquaGo™ instant water
heater only by lifting or grabbing the metal
casing or cover plate. Never lift or grab the
Truma AquaGo™ instant water heater by
any of its delicate interior components.
• Make sure that all combustion air is supplied
from outside the RV. DO NOT draw air for
combustion from occupied spaces.
• Make sure that all exhaust gases are direct-
ed outside of the RV.
– Protect building materials from exhaust
gases.

door enclosed spaces, such as a porch.

• DO NOT alter the Truma AquaGo™ instant
water heater for a positive grounding battery
system.
• DO NOT shorten the power cable or remove
the sticker that indicates polarity.
• DO NOT perform a hi-pot test on the Truma
AquaGo™ instant water heater unless the
electronic ignition system (circuit board) has
been disconnected. A hi-pot test applies a
very high voltage between two conductors.
• DO NOT use a battery charger to supply
power to the Truma AquaGo™ instant water
heater, even when testing.
• If the vehicle requires welding DO NOT
connect the 12 Volt DC power to the
Truma AquaGo™ instant water heater. Elec-
trical welding will cause serious damage to
the Truma AquaGo™ instant water heater
controller.

tions are established at the back. Gas access is
from the side.
