Installation
Mounting the exhaust system
Fasten the flexible exhaust pipe Ø42 mm to the ex-
haust fitting of the heater using a pipe clip.
If a rigid exhaust pipe is to be used, connect it to the
exhaust fitting of the heater with an exhaust pipe
bend.
Route the flexible or rigid exhaust pipe according to
the outer contours of the vehicle and fasten to the
floor with pipe clips in suitable positions.
The exhaust pipe can be shortened by 20 cm or
lengthened to max. 3 m, depending on the installation
conditions.
Route the flexible exhaust pipe from the heater to the
exhaust silencer and fasten with pipe clips.
Connect an exhaust end pipe to the exhaust silencer
and fasten with a pipe clip.
After finishing all installation work, place an end slee-
ve on the exhaust end pipe.
Danger!
Risk of injuries and burns!
Every type of combustion produces high temperatures
and toxic exhaust fumes. This is the reason why the
exhaust system must be installed according to these
instructions.
• Do not perform any work on the exhaust system
while the heater is working.
• Before working on the exhaust system, first switch
the heater off and wait until all parts have cooled
down completely, wear safety gloves if necessary.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust system
Caution!
Safety instructions!
The whole exhaust system gets very hot during and
immediately after the heater has been working. This is
the reason why the exhaust system must be installed
according to these instructions.
• The exhaust outlet must end in the open air.
• The exhaust pipe must not protrude beyond the
lateral limits of the vehicle.
• Install the exhaust pipe sloping slightly downwards.
If necessary, make a drain hole approx. Ø 5 mm at
the lowest point to drain off condensation.
• Important functional parts of the vehicle must not be
impaired (keep sufficient clearance).
• Mount the exhaust pipe with sufficient clearance to
heat-sensitive parts. Pay particular attention to fuel
pipes (plastic or metal), electrical cables and brake
hoses etc.!
• Exhaust pipes must be fastened safely
(recommended clearance of 50 cm) to avoid damage
from vibrations.
• Route the exhaust system so that the emitted fumes
are not sucked in with the combustion air.
• The mouth of the exhaust pipe must not get clogged
by dirt and snow.
• The mouth of the exhaust pipe must not point in the
direction of travel.
• Always fasten the exhaust silencer to the vehicle.
• The regulations and safety instructions to be
observed for this chapter are on page 4 – 7.
• If a silencer is fitted, the exhaust end pipe must be
much shorter than the flexible exhaust pipe between
the heater and the exhaust silencer.
