10.2 Heater
Start-up When lighting the heater for the first time a small amount of smoke and odour will
occur. Immediately set the operating switch of the heater to its highest position.
Open doors and windows and ventilate well. Smoke and odour will disappear by
themselves after a while.
10.2.1 To heat properly
Hot air distribution Several air outlet nozzles (Fig. 105) are built into the vehicle. Pipes conduct the
warm air to the air outlet nozzles. Turn the air outlet nozzles in a suitable position
so the air can escape as required.
Adjusting the air outlet
nozzles
z Fully open: Full hot air stream
z Half or partially open: Reduced hot air stream
When five air outlet nozzles are completely opened, less warm air escapes through
each nozzle. However, if only three air outlet nozzles are opened, more warm air
flows out of each nozzle.
X In winter, check that the waste gas vent on the roof is free of snow and ice
before using the heater.
X Never let gas escape unburned due to danger of explosion.
X When filling the fuel tank of the towing vehicle, on ferries or in the garage,
never run the heater in gas operation. Danger of explosion!
X Never operate the heater in gas operation in closed rooms (e.g. garages).
Danger of poisoning and suffocation!
X If the circulation fan does not switch on automatically, switch the circulation
fan from heat setting 3 to 4. There is danger of overheating for the heater!
X Do not damage the exhaust gas pipe.
X The waste gas vent may neither be closed nor blocked.
X When camping in winter, the Truma waste gas vent extension should be
used to prevent snow from choking the waste gas vent.
X Do not use the space behind the heater as a storage compartment.
