FL vehicles
Combustion heaters must at lease be able to be taken out of service
by the procedures named in the following:
Switching off manually in the driver's cab
Shutdown of the vehicle's engine; in this case the heater may be
switched back on manually by the vehicle driver;
Starting up an installed fuel pump in the vehicle for transported
dangerous goods.
After running of the combustion heater
After running of the switched off combustion heater is permitted. In
the cases named in the “FL vehicles” section under letters b) and c),
the supply of combustion air must be interrupted by suitable means
following an after-running period of 40 seconds maximum. Only combustion heaters whose heat exchangers are verifiably not damaged
by the reduced after-running time of 40 seconds beyond their usual
operating period may be used.

1.13 Hazard information and safety instructions for
installation and operation
Danger!
Risk of injury, fire and poisoning!
Only start up the heater if the maintenance flap is closed and the
outlet hood is mounted in position.
Do not open the maintenance flap during operation.
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.
Always adjust hot air outlets so that they cannot blow hot air
directly at living creatures (people, animals) or objects sensitive to
temperature (loose and / or fastened).
Caution!
Safety instructions for installation and operation!
Mark the year of initial commissioning on the nameplate.
Replace the heat exchanger of air heaters, a component subject to
high thermal loads, 10 years after the initial commissioning of the
heater. In addition, enter the installation date on the “original spare
part” plate enclosed with the heat exchanger. Then affix the plate
next to the nameplate on the heater.
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.
Only use the control units approved by the manufacturer to operate
the heater. Use of other control units can cause malfunctions.
Repairs by unauthorised third parties and/ or not using original
spare parts are dangerous and therefore not allowed. They result
in expiry of the type-approval 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 heating-relevant components.
– Use of third party parts not approved by the manufacturer.
– Deviations from the statutory, safety and/ or functionally rele-
vant requirements stated in this document regarding installation
and/or operation. 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.
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.
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 storage and similar.
Switch off the heater before refuelling.
If the heater is installed in a safety housing or similar, 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.
Replace defective fuses only with fuses with the specified fuse
rating.
