Step 1 Find suitable location for Space Heater Installation
Consider the following points:
i. For weight distribution in caravans, aim to position the Space Heater as near to the axle as possible.
You should avoid (where possible) locating at the very rear and preferably avoid the very front.
ii. If mounting under the floor the heater should be positioned within the chassis members and close to
the axle to help protect the appliance.
iii. Please note: The heater, ducts and flues will become hot. Please avoid anything directly touching
these.
iv. Ensure the position allows access for servicing the Space Heater and that there is a minimum of
25mm distance around the heater to adjacent walls.
v. The hot air outlet of the heater is to be fitted to the hot air ducting system. The heater should be
positioned to minimise the amount of ducting required and sharp bends in the ducting should be
avoided.
vi. In selecting the position of the Space Heater, ensure that the exhaust flue and combustion air inlet
flues can be installed avoiding all chassis members and gas pipes etc. that are located underneath
the floor. Remove the flue template from the back of the instruction manual and use this to find a
suitable location.
vii. The open end of the exhaust flue must not be fitted at the side of the caravan / motorhome where an
awning may be fitted. It is thus preferable to install the heater on the opposite side of the caravan /
motorhome to avoid routing the exhaust flue to the far side of the caravan / motorhome.
viii. Only Whale® supplied flue components are permitted to be used. The open end of either flue must
not be positioned within 300mm of a refuelling point or fuel tank breather outlet or any ventilator from
the fuel system(s). The exhaust flue must not be fitted within 300mm of a ventilator for the living
space or an opening part of a window. The open end of the exhaust flue must be positioned at least
500mm from the open end of the combustion air flue and be pointing in the same direction. The
exhaust flue should be positioned at the side or end of the caravan / motorhome. The exhaust flue
may be positioned vertically below an opening part of a window if the appliance is fitted with an
automatic shut-off device, to prevent operation when the window is open.
