Danger of fire and explosion from auxiliary/supplementary heater |
In fire and explosion-endangered areas a spark or the high temperature of the auxiliary/supplementary heater can cause a fire or an explosion. Burn injuries are also possible. |
– | Switch the auxiliary/supplementary heater off in fire and explosion-endangered areas. |
Danger of poisoning from exhaust fumes |
Auxiliary/supplementary heaters produce poisonous exhaust fumes. Injuries to airways and poisoning are possible. |
– | In closed areas, only switch on the auxiliary/supplementary heated when it is exclusively connected to an exhaust extractor system. |
– | In closed areas without an exhaust extractor system, switch off the auxiliary/supplementary heater. |
Danger of damage when starting the engine. |
If the fuel system components (e.g. metering pump, fuel lines, fuel gauge sender) are removed or opened, there is a possibility of causing damage to the auxiliary/supplementary heater. |
– | Never attempt to start the engine when fuel system components are removed or opened. |
Malfunctions caused by air in the fuel system |
After working on the fuel tank or the fuel delivery pump the metering pump will draw air and supply it to the auxiliary/supplementary heater. The air in the fuel system may cause the auxiliary/supplementary heater to malfunction. |
– | Fill the fuel take-off pipe with fuel. |
Risk of accidents and risk of injury due to activated timer of auxiliary heater |
On vehicles with activated timer for the auxiliary heater, the auxiliary heater may be switched on unexpectedly. This poses a risk of poisoning from exhaust gases, a risk of burns caused by hot auxiliary heater components as well as a risk of fire and explosions caused by high temperatures. |
– | Deactivate timer for auxiliary heater. |

Expansion valve
The expansion valve atomises incoming refrigerant and
regulates the flow so that, depending on the heat transport, the
vapour does not become a gas until it reaches the outlet of the
evaporator.
