5. Press the hose rupture protection and, if
necessary, the reset button.
6. Check the hose connection to the cylinder
valve and at the MonoControl CS inlet for
leaks after every modification.
7. After making changes always check the
connection to the cylinder for leaks using
a leak detector spray or a soapy solution.
NOTE: We recommend that the
gasket (part number 50020-76300)
is replaced with every hose change.
This will be provided by your
supplying dealer upon replacement
of the hose.
Gas Leaks
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply
should be turned off at the cylinder immediately.
Extinguish all naked flames/sources of ignotion.
• Ensure the gas valve is turned off.
• The strong unpleasant smell of gas means
that a leak has been detected.
• Check that gas is not escaping from an unlit
appliance.
• Never check for leaks with a naked flame.
Check all pipe joints by using a washing
up liquid solution – the gas will bubble in
the area of the leak. Isolate the supply,
preferably at the cylinder, and seek
professional help.
• Do not operate electrical switches.
• Open all doors and windows to allow any gas
to escape. Butane/propane gas is heavier
than air so any escaping gas will therefore
collect at a low level - ensure floor vents
remain unobstructed.
• If the leak was internal, evacuate.
• Check that gas is not escaping from an unlit
appliance.
• If the gas leak cannot be stopped, remove
the cylinder to a safe place in the open air
in an upright position away from drains and
any source of ignition. Immediatly contact a
competent service engineer.
• When being stored always keep gas
cylinders outside (and protected against
frost). If they must be kept inside make sure
they are well away from heat and near to a
drop vent.
• If taps are too stiff to operate or appear to
be a source of leakage, call in a competent
installer to rectify. LPG taps require a
special grease.
• If in doubt always seek the advice of a
qualified engineer.
Ventilation
Carbon monoxide is odourless, colourless and
tasteless and will rapidly cause unconsciousness
and death with little or no warning prior to
collapse. Under no circumstances should
the motorhome’s ventilation be blocked or
obstructed in any way. High level ventilation is
via the rooflights. The low level ventilation is
achieved via the vents located in the floor..
The exterior gas vent/flue should be kept free
of any obstructions including but not limited
to dust, leaves, dirt, personl items etc. Inspect
regularly. Use a brush and soapy water to clean
when needed. It may be necessary to remove
the weather shield to gain access for cleaning.
WARNING: Safety ventilation shall in
no circumstances be obstructed,
even partially.
WARNING: Flues which terminate
below the floor require that free
evacuation of the products of
combustion is always maintained. At
least three sides of the underfloor
space shall always be kept open and
unobstructed especially by snow. No
additional opening in the floor
should be created.
General Safety Notes
The pressure of external LPG supply to external
supply plug in’s shall not be less than 0,3 bar
and not greater than 0,5 bar.
The operating pressure for the gas supply is
30mbar (or 28mbar butane/ 37mbar propane)
and must correspond to the operating pressure
of the appliance (see name plate).
During initial operation of a brand new appliance
a certain amount of fumes and a slight smell
may be noticed. Immediately run the heater at
maximum output and to ensure adequate room
ventilation.
