Safety instructions

The use of upright gas cylinders from which gas is taken in
the gas phase is mandatory for the operation of gas regula-
tors, gas equipment and gas systems. Gas cylinders from
which gas is taken in the liquid phase (e.g. for fork lifts) must
not be used, since they would result in damage to the gas
system.
If the gas system is leaking or if there is a smell of gas:
– extinguish all naked flames
– do not smoke
– switch off the appliances
– shut off the gas cylinder
– open windows and door
– do not actuate any electrical switches
– have the entire system checked by an expert!
Repairs may only be carried out by an expert!
A new O-ring must always be installed after dismantling the
exhaust duct!
Guarantee claims, warranty claims and acceptance of liability
will be ruled out in the event of the following:
– modifications to the unit (including accessories),
– modifications to the exhaust duct and the cowl,
– failure to use original Truma parts as replacement parts
and accessories,
– failure to follow the installation and operating instructions.
It also becomes illegal to use the appliance, and in some
countries this even makes it illegal to use the vehicle.
The gas supply's operating pressure (30 mbar) must be the
same as the unit's operating pressure (see type plate).
Liquid gas systems must comply with the legal provisions
of the country in which they are put to use (e.g. for Europe
EN 1949 for vehicles and EN ISO 10239 for boats). National
directives and regulations (e.g. DVGW worksheet G 607 for
vehicles and G 608 for boats in Germany) must be complied
with.
In the case of vehicles used for commercial purposes, the
respective accident prevention regulations issued by the pro-
fessional associations are to be adhered to (e.g. for Germany
BGV D 34).
The inspection of the gas system is to be repeated every
two years by am approved liquid gas specialist (DVFG, TÜV,
DEKRA). This is to be confirmed on the corresponding inspec-
tion certificate (G 607, G 608, or BGG 935).
The vehicle owner is always responsible for arranging the
inspection.
Pressure regulating devices and hoses must be replaced with
new ones no more than 10 years after their date of manufac-
ture (every 8 years if used commercially). This is the responsi-
bility of the operator.
Liquid gas equipment must not be used when refuelling, in
multi-storey car parks, in garages or on ferries.
During the initial operation of a brand new appliance (or after
it has not been used for some time), a slight amount of fumes
and smell may be noticed for a short while. This can be rem-
edied by running the heater at maximum output and ensuring
adequate room ventilation.
If the burner makes an unusual noise or if the flame lifts off, it
is likely that the regulator is faulty and it is essential to have it
checked.
Items sensitive to heat (e.g. spray cans) must not be stored
in the installation area, since excess temperatures may under
certain circumstances be incurred there.
Only pressure control equipment that complies with EN 12864
(in vehicles) and EN ISO 10239 (for boats) with a fixed delivery
pressure of 30 mbar must be used for the gas system. The
flow rate of the pressure control device must correspond to at
least the maximum consumption of all devices installed by the
system manufacturer.
For vehicles we recommend the Truma SecuMotion gas pres-
sure regulator and the Truma DuoComfort automatic changeo-
ver valve for the two-cylinder system.
At temperatures of around 0 °C or less the gas pressure regu-
lator and the changeover valve must be operated using the
EisEx de-icing system.
Controller connecting hoses that meet national regulations
must always be used in the respective country for which the
equipment is destined. These hoses must be checked regu-
larly for brittleness. Winter-proof special hoses must always
be used if the equipment is operated during the winter.
If the pressure regulator is exposed to weather conditions
– especially on trucks – always make sure to protect the regu-
lator using the Truma protective cover (standard accessory in
truck attachment kit).

Important operating notes

If the cowl has been placed near or directly beneath an open-
ing window, the device must be equipped with an automatic
shut-off device in order to prevent operation with the window
open.
The integrity and tight fit of the exhaust gas double duct must
be checked regularly, particularly at the end of long trips. Also
check the mounting of the appliance and the cowl.
Following a blow-back (misfire) always have the ex-haust gas
system checked by an expert!
If appliances are assembled on the outside of the vehicle,
regularly check the flexible air ducts for damage. A damaged
duct could lead to exhaust gas entering the vehicle.
Always keep the cowl for conducting exhaust gas and supply-
ing combustion air, free from contamination (slush, leaves etc.).
The installed temperature limiter shuts off the gas supply if the
appliance becomes too hot. Therefore do not shut the warm
air outlets and the opening for the returning circulating air.
If the electronic control p.c.b. is defective, return it well
packed. If you fail to do so, guarantee claims shall no longer
be valid. Only use original p.c.b. as a spare part!
Directive 2004/78/EC stipulates that a safety shut-off device is
required if motor homes are being heated while driving.
The Truma SecuMotion gas pressure regulator meets this
requirement.
If no safety shut-off device is installed (e.g. the Truma
SecuMotion gas pressure regulator), the gas cylinder
must be closed while driving and information signs must be
attached to the gas cylinder protection box and in the vicinity
of the control panel.
