The air jets with adjustable flops must always be open in


a way that the airflow through the heater is not blocked.
A frequently restricted or blocked airflow may cause long

compartment, it must be ensured that no flammable
material is stowed in this compartment and that other
material does not restrict the air supply of the heater.
Air lines must be securely fastened to the heater and
the air jets (e.g. with pipe clamps).

The air heater, when used in the ventilation mode of


operation, may also be employed for heating air ducting
without any further accessories. A short circuit of the
heating air flow is to be avoided.

Vehicles with Fuel Injection Engines


When installing the heater in vehicles with fuel injection

tank must be investigated first.

If the fuel pump is fitted inside the fuel tank, the fuel may
be tapped only from the return line using the Webasto fuel
tap only (e.g. Ident No. 470 910) ensuring that the return
line is routed almost to the tank floor. If this is not the case,

be ensured, the inner diameter must not exceed a certain
value. Starting from an inside diameter of 4 mm, air or

the lines be descending or have sags. The diameters
specified in Fig. 801 ensure no disturbing formation of
bubbles.

A descending line routing from the dosing pump to the


heater should be avoided.

(tapping via fuel drain plug) sagging. The installation must ensure protection against
stone impacts and undue temperatures (exhaust line).
