Safety instructions for installation and operation!
• Repairs by unauthorised third-parties or with not
original spare parts are dangerous and therefore not
allowed. They result in expiry of the type permit of the
heater; consequently, when installed in motor vehicles
they can cause expiry of the vehicle operating licence.
• The following measures are not allowed:
– Changes to components relevant to the heater.
– Use of third-party components not approved by
Eberspächer.
– Nonconformities in installation or operation from
the statutory regulations, safety instructions or
specifications relevant to safe operation as stated
in the installation instructions and operating
instructions. This applies in particular to the
electrical wiring, fuel supply, combustion air
system and exhaust system.
• Only original accessories and original spare parts
must be used during installation or repairs.
• When carrying out electric welding on the vehicle, the
plus pole cable at the battery should be disconnected
and placed at ground to protect the controller.
• The heater must not be operated where there is a risk
of an accumulation of flammable vapours or dust, for
example close to:
– fuel depot
– coal depot
– wood depot
– grain depots etc.
• The heater must be switched off when refuelling.
• When the heater is mounted in a safety housing etc.,
the installation compartment of the heater is not a
stowage compartment and must be kept clear.
In particular fuel canisters, oil cans, spray cans, gas
cartridges, fire extinguishers, cleaning rags, items of
clothing, paper etc. must not be stored or transported
on or next to the heater.
• Defect fuses must only be replaced by fuses with the
prescribed rating.
• If fuel leaks from the heater fuel system, arrange
for the damage to be repaired immediately by an
Eberspächer service partner.
• After-running of the heater must not be interrupted
prematurely e.g. by pressing the battery
disconnecting switch, apart from in the case of an
emergency stop.
The fitting of a diesel heater in a petrol engine boat
is permitted with the following provisos:
• The heater must not be mounted in the engine
compartment.
• RCD 94/25EC or ISO 100088:2001 are followed.
• The combustion air pipe must be taken from a vented
to atmosphere area.
• The exhaust system must be routed as recommended
in our Marine Installation Manual (Section 5).
• Heating intake air must be taken from a clean dry
environment.
