General Installation Steps:

1. Vehicle Compatibility Check: Before starting, please select your vehicle from the dropdown list (if applicable) or consult the Webasto compatibility guide to ensure this mounting kit is suitable for your specific vehicle model.
2. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle's battery. Identify the optimal mounting location for the parking heater and its components, considering space, ventilation, and proximity to fuel and exhaust lines.
3. Mounting the Heater: Securely attach the parking heater unit using the provided brackets and fasteners from the kit. Ensure it is stable and free from vibrations.
4. Fuel System Connection: Carefully connect the fuel line to the vehicle's fuel tank and the heater, ensuring all connections are leak-free and properly clamped.
5. Exhaust System: Install the exhaust pipe, ensuring it is routed away from heat-sensitive components and exits the vehicle safely, preventing exhaust gases from entering the passenger compartment.
6. Air Intake: Connect the combustion air intake, ensuring it draws fresh air and is free from obstructions.
7. Electrical Connections: Connect the wiring harness according to the wiring diagram provided with your specific parking heater. Pay close attention to power, control, and diagnostic connections.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Webasto parking heater operates according to the controls provided with the heater unit itself (e.g., timer, remote control, or mobile app). This mounting kit facilitates the physical installation.

• Refer to the specific operating manual of your Webasto parking heater for detailed instructions on how to program and activate the heating function.
• Ensure the vehicle's battery is sufficiently charged, as the parking heater draws power from it.
• Do not operate the parking heater in enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation, such as garages, due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your parking heater system.

• Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect all components of the mounting kit, including brackets, hoses, and electrical connections, for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
• Fuel Lines: Check fuel lines for leaks or cracks. Ensure clamps are tight.
• Exhaust System: Inspect the exhaust pipe for blockages, damage, or loose connections. Clear any debris.
