Removing Terminals from Connector

Heater Removal
To remove and refit the heater from its installation positions, follow these steps:

  1. Disconnect the vehicle’s battery.
  2. Disconnect the Hydro 5’s main cable from the main wiring harness.
  3. Disconnect the water pump cable.
  4. Disconnect the fuel supply line from the heater’s fuel inlet.
  5. Disconnect the inlet and outlet water pipes from the heater. If service valves are not fitted, the system will need to be emptied.
  6. Disconnect the combustion air intake and exhaust pipe from the bottom of the heater.
  7. Remove the single M6 hex bolt from the center of the heater.
  8. Remove the heater from its bracket.

Heater Installation

  1. Locate heater onto the mounting bracket and secure with the single M6 hex bolt to 6 + 1 Nm.
  2. Connect and secure the fuel supply line to the heater’s fuel inlet.
  3. Connect and secure the combustion air intake and exhaust pipe to the heater.
  4. Reconnect the main wiring harness to the heater
  5. Reconnect the water pump cable.
  6. Reattach the inlet and outlet water pipes.
  7. Refill and bleed the coolant supply.
  8. Reconnect the vehicle’s battery.

Fully bleed the fuel supply system, by turning the heater on and off. Ignition failure will occur until the system has been bled.
