6 Connection to the vehicle cooling system
The heater is connected to the vehicle cooling system as shown in 
Figures 1 and 5. The system must contain at least 10 litres of coolant.
The water hoses supplied by Webasto must always be used. If you do not 
use these hoses, the hoses that you do use must comply with DIN 73411. 
The hoses must be installed without kinks
 and (to ensure perfect bleeding 
of the heater) rising if possible. Hose connections must be supported by 
hose clips to prevent them slipping.
NOTE: 
The hose clips must be tightened with a torque of 1.5 Nm.
Only pressure valves with an opening pressure of min. 0.4 bar and max. 
2.0 bar may be used in the vehicle’s cooling system or in a separate 
heating system.
The cooling system must be bled carefully before using the heater for 
the first time or after replacing the coolant. The heater and lines should 
be installed in such a way as to ensure static bleeding.
Perfect ventilation can be identified by the circulating pump operating 
almost silently. Poor bleeding may cause the resetting temperature 
limiter to trip whilst the heater is operating.
