Preparing For Installation - Truma AquaGo basic Operating Instructions Manual

• DO NOT install the Truma AquaGo™ instant

sign of the RV or due to special features of
the RV such as slide-out, pop-up, etc.
• DO NOT install the Truma AquaGo™ instant
water heater under any window, slide-out or
opening into the RV in order to prevent ex-
haust gases from entering the RV.
• DO NOT install the heater in such a way that
the cover plate is less than
– 1 foot (30 cm) from each side and top of
any window, slide-out or opening into the
RV,
– 6 feet (1.8 m) from any mechanical air
supply inlet o

Preparing for installation

Sharp edges can cause cuts and injury!
• Always wear protective gloves to avoid
injuries from sharp edges during in-
stallation work and while handling the
Truma AquaGo™ instant water heater.
Preparing the installation site
1. Make sure that the Truma AquaGo™ instant
water heater is in contact with the vehicle
floor or a platform with adequate weight-
bearing capacity when installed.
2. To install on carpeted area, install
a metal or wood panel under the
Truma AquaGo™ instant water heater that
extends at least 3" (7.6 cm) beyond the
width and depth of the appliance.
3. If escaping water may damage components
or the vehicle, install a collection pan below
the Truma AquaGo™ instant water heater.
Direct the flow of water from the pan to out-
side the vehicle.
4. Make sure that the front edge of the open-
ing is surrounded by a solid frame to firmly
anchor the Truma AquaGo™ instant water
heater. If needed, build an appropriate frame
(Fig. 10) with the following dimensions:
Width a = 12.75" (324 mm)
Height b = 12.75" (324 mm)
Depth c = >17.7" (450 mm)

• The required depth "c" depends on how the
water hoses, electrical connection cable, and
gas line are installed. The depth "c" must be
determined for the particular situation before
installation.
• The corners of the rough opening must be
right angles. The exterior wall opening must
be the same dimensions with no rounded
corners.
5. Make sure you have suitable screws ready:
• In order to securely fasten the water heater
and the cover plate, the screws must be suit-
able for the chosen frame material and have
a diameter of 0.138" (#6) to 0.164" (#8).
• Use pan head screws.
• Never use countersunk screws.
• For the length of the screws follow the
screw manufacturer's guidelines.
Preparing the gas connection
The gas line is guided into the Truma AquaGo™
instant water heater from the side. A hole with
a grommet is provided in the unit casing for this
purpose.
