2.2. Position of the heater
2.2.1. Parts of the vehicle body and other components in the immediate
vicinity of the heater must be protected against excessive heat and the
danger of contamination by fuel or oil.
2.2.2. The internal combustion heater must not pose a fire hazard even
when overheated. This requirement is deemed to have been met if care
is taken during installation to ensure an adequate distance from all parts,
as well as adequate ventilation and if fire-resistant materials or heat
shields are used.
2.2.3. In vehicles of classes M2 and M3, the heater must not be installed
in the passenger compartment. However, it is permissible to use a unit
in a tightly sealed enclosure which also meets with the conditions in
para. 2.2.2.
2.2.4. The plate in accordance with para. 1.4 (rating plate) or a duplicate
thereof (duplicate rating plate) must be fitted in such a way that it is still
clearly legible when the heater has been installed in the vehicle.
2.2.5. When positioning the heater, all due precautions must be taken to
minimise all risk of bodily injury, as well as damage to items in the
vehicle.
2.3. Fuel supply
2.3.1. The fuel filler neck must not be located in the passenger
compartment and must have a tightly fitting cap to prevent any fuel
leakages.
2.3.2. The type of fuel and the filler neck must be clearly identified on
heaters for liquid fuel, in which the fuel supply is separate from the fuel
supply for the vehicle.
2.3.3. A sign must be affixed to the filler neck warning that the heater
must be switched off before refuelling. A corresponding warning must
also be included in the manufacturer's operating instructions.
