5  Recommendations

If the heater does not start after switching on, make sure there is fuel in the tank, check 

the charge of the battery, check if connectors are properly connected and if the 25A fuses 
are good. 

If you were unable to find the root cause of the fault, contact the service center, the 

dealer you bought the product from or the website 

www.autoterm-europe.com

. 

WARNING

 

1  When  starting  the  heater  for  the  first  time  after  installation,  it  is 
preferable to fill the main fuel line up to the input nozzle of the heater 
using a priming device. If there is no priming device, start the heater 
several times until the main fuel line is filled. 

 

2  Important  to  remember  that  if  the  heater  has  not  started  after 
activation, the control unit will restart the heater in automatic mode. If 
the  heater  does  not  start  after  two  attempts,  a  fault  code  will  be 
displayed  on  the  control  panel.  (Look  for  fault  codes  table  in  a 
respective control panel manual.) 

 

3 The cabin temperature sensor must be disabled (if it is installed), if 
you  need  to  start  the  heater at  a  temperature  above  30

С. Operation 

with a temperature sensor is described in the operation manual. 

 

For the correct operation, the heater needs regular (annual) maintenance. Stop the 

heater and let all system parts cool down before any works: 

-

 

check for corrosion on electrical plugs and contacts (with battery disconnected); 

-

 

check sealing of fuel hoses; 

-

 

check sealing and corrosion in the system of exhaust gases; 

-

 

check whether air intake pipes and air ducts are clean; 

-

 

check air ducts for damages; 

-

 

run a computer diagnostic of the heater.
