Gas appliances in general
Pay attention to the following when operating the gas system:
The regulators and the exhaust gas routing must be inspected every two years! The
inspection must be confirmed on the inspection certificate according to the DVGW [Ger-
man Technical and Scientific Association on Gas and Water] worksheet G 607. The
operator has to initiate the inspection.
The exhaust gas pipe must be fitted tightly to both the gas heater as well as the cowl
and must be sealed. It may not show any evidence of damage.
The exhaust gas routing of the gas heater must be installed ascending over its complete
length and fitted tightly with clamps. If required, install exhaust gas pipe supports.
Before placing the gas heater into service, always clear dirt and snow from the cowl and
the combustion air inlets. This prevents increased, unacceptable carbon monoxide con-
tent in the exhaust gas.
Radiant heaters and appliances drawing combustion air from the interior of the vehicle
are not to be used for heating the vehicle!
When gas appliances are switched on that require the control knob to be pressed for
lighting (e.g. gas stove), it must spring back automatically immediately after release.
If no gas is being consumed during the journey, the shut-off valve on the gas cylinders
must be closed.
Close the respective quick-action stop valve when gas-operated appliances are not
used.
Close the shut-off valve on the gas cylinder when the vehicle will not be used for a longer
period.
Operate the gas system only with propane gas, butane gas or a mixture of both. Pro-
pane gas is capable of gasification down to -32 °C, whereas butane gas gasifies only to
approx. 0 °C.
Gas appliances are not to be operated during refuelling, in a garage or on a ferry.
Observe the relevant regulations in foreign countries!

disconnect the battery and disconnect the 230 V power cable from the mains.

edied. Use only original fuses with the values specified in the instruction manual from
the respective manufacturer.
