Important Operating Notes; General Safety Notes - Truma Trumatic E 4000 Gebrauchsanweisung

Important
operating notes
1. If the chimney has been
placed near or directly be-
neath an opening window,
the device must be equipped
with an automatic shut-off
device in order to prevent
operation with the window
open.
2. The integrity and tight fit
of the exhaust gas double
duct must be checked regu-
larly, particularly at the end
of long trips. Also check the
mounting of the appliance
and the cowl.
3. Following a blow-back
(misfire) always have the ex-
haust gas system checked by
an expert!
4. If appliances are assem-
bled 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.
5. Always keep the cowl
for conducting exhaust gas
and supplying combustion
air, free from contamination
(slush, leaves etc.).
6. The installed temperature
limiter shuts off the gas sup-
ply if the appliance becomes
too hot. Therefore do not
shut the warm air outlets and
the opening for the returning
circulating air.
7. 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!
8. A safety shut-off device is
required in accordance with
directive 2004/78 Annex VIII
if motor homes or caravans
are being heated whilst
driving.
The Truma SecuMotion gas
pressure regulator meets this
requirement.
If no Truma SecuMotion
gas pressure regulator
is installed, the gas cylinder
must be closed whilst driving
and information signs must
be attached to the cylinder
cabinet and in the vicinity of
the control panel.
Always use original
Truma spare parts for
maintenance and repair
work!

9. For conducting the ex-
haust gas under the floor,
the vehicle floor must be
sealed tight. There must also
be three open sides beneath
the vehi-cle floor to ensure
unhindered escape of the
exhaust gas (snow, aprons
etc.).
Instructions for mobile
heating appliances
Truma mobile cargo-hold
heating units have been ap-
proved by the professional
associations. They are com-
plete heating appliances
which are simply placed in
the cargo hold with the cargo
as the need arises. The heat-
ers are completely independ-
ent and require no external
connections of any kind.
Approval covers only original
mobile cargo-hold heaters
manufactured by Truma. Re-
productions by third parties
have not been approved!
Truma refuses to give any
guarantee of safety and cor-
rect functioning in respect
of a reproduction mobile
cargo-hold heater.
The use of the appliance in
vehicles used for the trans-
port of hazardous goods is
not permitted.
General safety
notes
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 car-
ried out by an expert!
A new O-ring must
always be installed af-
ter dismantling the exhaust
duct!
1. Any alteration to the appli-
ance (including exhaust duct
and cowl) or the use of spare
parts and accessories which
are important to the function
of the heater and which are
not original Truma parts, as
well as the non-observance
of the installation and operat-
ing instructions, will lead to
the cancelling of the guaran-
tee and exclusion of liability
claims. It also becomes ille-
gal to use the appliance, and
in some countries this even
makes it illegal to use the
vehicle.
2. The operating pressure of
the 30 mbar gas supply must
correspond with the operat-
ing pressure of the device
(see data plate).
3. Liquid gas systems must
comply with the technical
and administrative regula-
tions of the respective coun-
try of use (e.g. EN 1949 for
vehicles or EN ISO 10239 for
boats in Europe). National
directives and regulations
(e.g. DVGW worksheet G 607
for vehicles and G 608 for
boats in Germany) must be
complied with.
For vehicles for commercial
use, the relevant accident
prevention regulations issued
by the professional asso-
ciations are to be respected
(BGV D 34).
The inspection of the gas
system is to be repeated
every two years by am ap-
proved liquid gas specialist
(DVFG, TÜV, DEKRA). This
is to be confirmed on the
corresponding inspection
certificate (G 607, G 608,
or BGG 935).
The vehicle owner is al-
ways responsible for ar-
ranging the inspection.
Pressure regulating equip-
ment and hoses must be
replaced with new ones no
more than 10 years after the
date of manufacture. This is
the responsibility of the
operator.
4. Liquid gas equipment
must not be used when
refuelling, in multi-storey
car parks, in garages or on
ferries.
5. 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 remedied by run-
ning the heater at maximum
output and ensuring ad-
equate room ventilation.
6. 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.
7. Items sensitive to heat
(e.g. spray cans) must not be
stored in the installation area,
since excess temperatures
may under certain circum-
stances be incurred there.
8. 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 (or 50 mbar in
older systems) 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
pressure regulator and the
Truma DuoComfort automat-
ic changeover valve for the
two-cylinder system.
At temperatures of around
0°C or less the gas pressure
regulator and the changeover
valve must be operated using
the EisEx de-icing system.
Controller connecting hoses
that meet national regula-
tions must always be used
in the respective country
for which the equipment is
destined. These hoses must
be checked regularly for brit-
tleness. Winter-proof special
hoses must always be used
if the equipment is operated
during the winter.
