Safety Instructions; Important Operating Notes - Truma B 10 Mode D'emploi

Safety instructions

The use of upright gas cylinders from which the gas phase
is taken is mandatory when operating gas pressure regulation
systems, gas devices 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.
In event of leaks in the gas system 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!
Repair jobs are only to be carried out by an expert!
During use, please observe the regulations of EN 60335-1: 2010,
according to which this device has not been designed for
use by people (including children) who have restricted physi-
cal, sensory or metal abilities or a lack of experience and / or
knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person respon-
sible for their safety or have received instructions from that
person as to how the device is to be used.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with
the device.
To avoid risk caused by unintentional resetting of the
overtemperature sensor, the device may not be supplied
via an external switching device such as a digital timer or be
connected with a circuit that is regularly switched on and off
by any kind of equipment.
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.
The gas supply's operating pressure (30 mbar) must be the
same as the unit's operating pressure (see type plate).
Liquid gas installations must accord with the technical and
administrative regulations of the individual country in which
they are to be used (e.g. EN 1949 for motor vehicles). National
regulations and rules (e.g. DVGW work sheet G 607 in Ger-
many) must be followed.
In Germany, the gas system must be retested every 2 years by
a liquid gas specialist (DVFG, TÜV, DEKRA).
The vehicle owner is always responsible for arranging the
inspection.
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.
Heat-sensitive objects (e.g. spray cans) must not be stored in
the vicinity of the boiler, since high temperatures may under
certain circumstances be induced in such locations.
Only pressure control equipment that complies with EN 12864
(in vehicles) 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 consump-
tion of all devices installed by the system manufacturer.
At temperatures of around 0 °C and below, the gas pressure
regulation system or the switch valve is operated with the
regulator heater EisEx.
We recommend Truma accessories for the gas supply for
vehicles.
Regulator 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.
Pressure regulating devices and hoses must be replaced
with new ones no more than 10 years after their date of
manufacture (every 8 years if used commercially). This is the
responsibility of the operator.

Important operating notes

If the cowl has been placed near or directly beneath an opening
window, the device must be equipped with an automatic shut-
off device in order to prevent operation with the window open.
Always mount the cowl cap if the water heater is not being
used. Non-observance of this point can lead to the function
of the appliance being impaired through water, dirt or insects.
There shall be no claim under guarantee if this point is not
observed.
Before every journey, put on the cowl cover when the
boiler is switched off. Please ensure that it is secure and
has locked into place (risk of accident). Defective cowl caps
must not be used.
Always remove the cowl cap prior to operating the water heater!
If just the cold water system is being used, without water
heater, the heater tank is also filled up with water. In order
to avoid damage through frost, the water contents must be
drained by actuating the safety/drain valve, also when the
heater has not been used. As an alternative, two shutoff
valves, resistant to hot water, can be fitted in front of the cold
and hot water connection.
When connecting to a central water supply (rural or city mains),
a pressure reduction valve must always be installed to prevent
pressures above 2.8 bar from developing in the water heater.
