THE HEATING CARTRIDGES
$OO &RPSDFW V DUH ¿WWHG ZLWK WZR
230 V heating cartridges with a maximum
output of either 2100 or 3150 W. Select
the heating cartridge output on the control
panel.
Always check that the input fuse of the
vehicle has the correct amperage in
relation to the selected output. Note these
ratings are for the boiler only.
1050 W requires a 6 amp fuse.
2100 W requires a 10 amp fuse.
3150 W requires a 16 amp fuse.
THE CIRCULATION PUMP

one circulation pump is installed, the
required circulation pump is selected via
the control panel.
The control panel's room thermostat is
used to control the circulation pump, i.e.
switching on or off, depending on the
heating requirement.
SYSTEM TEMPERATURE
The boiler is set to a system temperature
of max 80°C, i.e. the temperature of the
JO\FRO ÀXLG as it circulates in the heating
system.
AIR CIRCULATION
In order to achieve the best possible result
from the principle of convected heat, it is
important to allow air to circulate freely
under bunks, and behind backrests and
wall-mounted cabinets. If the vehicle has

MAINTAINING THE HEATING

The LPG system
The LPG system should be checked regu-
larly by a professional, who will ensure
that there are no leaks from connections
or hoses.
LPG hoses should be changed accord-
ing to national regulations, maximum of

and crack.

mixture of water and glycol.
For preference, use high quality ready-
mixed glycol (with inhibitor) intended for
use in aluminium heating systems.
If using concentrated glycol, the mix-
ture should consist of 60% water and
40% glycol. If the heating system will be
exposed to temperatures below -25°C, the
glycol content must be increased, but not
to more than 50%.
Any vessels used for the liquid must be
spotlessly clean, and the pipes in the
heating system must be free of con-
tamination. This will prevent the growth of
bacteria in the system.
The glycol mixture should be changed
every second year, since its ability to
protect against corrosion, for example, will
deteriorate.
The glycol content should be checked
before topping up with new liquid. This will
ensure that the concentration of glycol in
the mixture is not too high.
,I WKH ÀXLG OHYHO LQ WKH H[SDQVLRQ WDQN IDOOV
for reasons other than evaporation, please
check all joints, drain cocks and bleeder
screws to ensure that they are not leaking.
If the glycol-water mixture leaks out, rinse
with water and wipe up.
Never allow the heating system to stand
empty of glycol.
