1.12 Hazard information and warnings for installation
and operation
Danger!
Risk of injury, fire and poisoning!
Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting any kind of work.
Before working on the heater, switch the heater off and let all hot
parts cool down.
Do not start up the heater in enclosed spaces, e.g. garage or multi-
storey car park.
Caution!
Safety instructions for installation and operation!
Have the heater installed only by a service partner authorised by
the manufacturer according to the instructions in this manual,
possibly according to special installation recommendations; the
same applies to any repairs to be carried out in the case of repairs
or guarantee claims.
Repairs by third-parties not authorised by the manufacturer and /
or with non-original spare parts are dangerous and therefore not
allowed. They result in expiry of the type-approval of the heater;
and thus, when installed in motor vehicles, they can cause expiry
of the vehicle's operating licence.
The following measures are not allowed:
– Changes to heating-relevant components.
– Use of third party parts not approved by the manufacturer.
– Installation or operation deviating 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 use original accessories and original spare parts for installa-
tion and repairs.
Only use the control units approved by the manufacturer to operate
the heater. Use of other control units can cause malfunctions.
Before the heater is installed again in another vehicle, rinse the
heater parts carrying water with clear water.
When carrying out electric welding on the vehicle, disconnect the
positive cable at the battery and attach it to ground to protect the
control box.
Replace defective fuses only with fuses with the specified fuse
rating.
It is not permitted to operate the heater where there are readily
flammable materials (e.g. dry grass, leaves, paper, etc.) in the area
of the exhaust system or where ignitable fumes and dust can form,
e.g. near a
– fuel depot
– coal depot
– wood depot
– grain store or similar
Switch off the heater before refuelling.
If the heater is fitted in a safety casing, etc., the heater's
installation box must not be used as storage space and must be
kept clear. In particular, do not store or transport fuel canisters, oil
cans, spray cans, gas cartridges, fire extinguishers, cleaning rags,
items of clothing, paper etc. on or next to the heater.
If fuel escapes from the heater's fuel system (leak), arrange for
immediate repair of the damage by an Eberspächer partner.
Use only anti-freeze products approved by the vehicle
manufacturer to top-up; please refer to the vehicle's operating
manual. Blending with unapproved anti-freeze can cause damage
to the engine and heater.
Do not cancel the after-running of the heater prematurely, e.g. by
pressing the battery isolating switch, except for an emergency
stop.
Note
All deviations from the safety requirements for installation and
operation are to be agreed with the manufacturer in writing before
they are implemented.
Following installation, attach the “Switch off heater before
refuelling!" sticker near the tank filler neck.
