• Arrangement of the heater
– Parts of the structure and other components near the
heater must be protected from excess heat exposure and
possible contamination from fuel or oil.

overheats.
This requirement is deemed to be fulfilled when adequate
clearance to all parts is observed during installation,
sufficient ventilation is provided and fire-proof materials or
heat plates are used.

it can still be easily read when the heater is installed in the
vehicle.
