Installation Instructions; Selecting A Location; Installing The Boiler - Truma BG 10 Einbauanweisung

Installation instructions

Only competent and trained staff (experts) are permit-
ted to install and repair the Truma product and to carry
out the function test, at the same time observing the
installation and operating instructions and the currently
recognised technical regulations. Experts are persons
who, based on their specialist instruction and training,
their knowledge and experience with Truma products
and the relevant standards, can carry out the necessary
work properly and identify potential hazards.

Selecting a location

The appliance must always be installed in such a way that it is
easy to access at all times for service work, and also easy to
remove and install.
Position the boiler in such a way that the cowl can be fitted to
an outer surface that is as straight and smooth as possible.
The wind must be able to flow around this outer surface at all
sides, and no decorative strips or panels should be present
there if possible, otherwise place the boiler on a suitable base.
The wall cowl must be attached such that there is no fuel tank
filler neck or fuel tank breather opening within 500 mm (A).
There must also be no living area ventilation openings within
300 mm (A).
If the cowl has been placed vertically beneath an open-
ing window, the boiler must be equipped with an au-
tomatic shut-off device in order to prevent operation with the
window open.

The boiler must not be installed close to or directly behind a
room heater.
In order to ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to cool
the electronics, the gap between the electronics cover (34)
and the walls of furniture items in which the boiler is installed
must be at least 20 mm.

Installing the boiler

Fire hazard from overheating and/or danger of suffo-
cation from exhaust fumes if installed incorrectly or if
parts other than original Truma parts are used for the exhaust
gas system.
– Use only original Truma parts for the exhaust gas system.
– Follow the installation instructions when installing the ex-
haust gas system.
Set up the boiler on a suitable horizontal surface.

Position the template for the cowl opening on the inner sur-
face of the wall.
A = Bottom edge of boiler
B = Lateral edge of boiler
Drill 4 holes (C) with a diameter of 10 mm through the wall.
Drill hole (E) with a diameter of 15 mm for the condensation
pipe (this can also be done from the outside = F).
Position the template on the outer surface of the wall. Mark-
ings (C) must be positioned over the holes drilled for the open-
ing. Use a saw to cut out the cowl opening (D) (92 x 168 mm).
If the gap between the outer wall and the boiler is more
than 35 mm, cowl extension VBO 2 will be required with an
extra length of 50 mm. Cut along the dotted line with a saw
(100 x 176 mm).
*
Cut out or support trim strips or the like on the vehicle so that
the cowl is level.
If the walls are sloping, support the boiler. The angle of
tilt must not exceed 10 degrees.
Push boiler with cowl part (1) through the cowl opening (2),
allowing it to protrude approx. 5 mm out of the outer wall. Fit
the sealing frame (3) (as a result of the anti-twist protection
the frame can only be fitted in the correct position). Pre-drill
holes for the 6 fastening screws (4).
Figure 3
Remove the sealing frame (3) and coat the vehicle side with a
plastic body sealant – not silicone.
The sealing frame must be well sealed to the front faces
and cross-braces of the cowl part (1) and to the outer wall.
Attach the sealing frame (3) to the cowl part with
4 thread-forming screws (4).
Figure 4
Line any cavities in the vicinity of
the cowl opening with wood so
that the screws can be tightened
firmly. The final cut-out should
be 168 mm high by 92 mm wide.
