Installation Instructions

Auxiliary Heater 83.2

Type 463 Left-hand drive

For the subsequent Installation of an auxiliary heater it is not necessary to make any new holes. The auxiliary heater installed in the engine compartment is connected to the cooling circuit of the vehicle. As a result, not only the passenger compartment is heated, but also the engine, thus ensuring the starting of the engine, even under extreme lowtemperature conditions. By means of a timer in the passenger compartment the auxiliary heater is switched on and off. The commencement of heating can be set at the timer up to 24 hours in advance. If the vehicle is not equipped with a higher power alternator (8OA), this must be retrofitted.

CAUTION: Observe specifications for registration. In Germany the subsequent installation of an auxiliary heater must be officially approved.

After installation of the auxiliary heater,the year of initial operation must be entered on the type plate of the heater.

NOTE: The auxiliary heater must not be operated in enclosed spaces without exhaust gas extractor equipment.

The installation instructions are divided into the following sections:
A. Installation of auxiliary cable harness
B. Installation of fuel supply
C. Installation of heater unit
D. Relay connection diagram
