WINTER USE
Before winter use
• To protect locks from freezing, lubricate them with a suitable agent.
• Ensure that the glycol level in the heating system is correct.
• Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
• As a safeguard, carry two bottles of gas (not bottles made of composite materials).
• Take extra fuses for the motorhome and external power supply posts.
• Fit the winter hatch to the refrigerator’s ventilation grille.
• If using the hand brake, remember the risk that it may freeze solid.
• Before starting up the heating, clear snow and ice from roof hatches and valves (so that the
motorhome’s ventilation works).
• Do not shovel snow into heaps around the motorhome. Ensure that roof hatches and roof valves are
not snow covered. There is a risk of safety ventilation being restricted.
During winter use
• If the motorhome is cold, check:
– that the power cable is connected.
– that the 230 V fuse in the electricity supply post is OK.
– the circuit breaker for the motorhome’s boiler.
– that he neighbours have power.
– that the level in the expansion tank is correct.
• If the refrigerator does not get cold, start it in bottled gas mode instead of 230 V.
• Fill up with water and, before filling the fresh water system, ensure that all taps and drain valves are
in the closed position.
• Ensure that the chimney is free from snow and ice. The chimney extension must be fitted when using
the motorhome in the winter (only models with roof-mounted chimneys).
• Ensure that the fixed safety ventilation system is not obstructed by snow or anything else.
After winter use
• Drain the water system and the grey water tank (see the separate instructions). Put all taps into the
OPEN position (halfway between hot and cold).
• Drain hoses, taps and water heaters. Drain the flushing water from the toilet. Thoroughly check that
water taps and shower hoses are empty.
• If a water purifier (option) has been fitted, remove it.
• Empty the toilet’s waste tank.
• Remove foodstuffs and personal items that may be harmed by low temperatures.
• Check that the settings of the immersion heater, thermostat and circulation pump are correct.
• Check that all roof hatches are closed.
WHEN FILLING WITH PETROL
• Ensure that all gas appliances are turned off.
If any gas flame is lit, driving into a petrol station is prohibited. Fire risk.
• Fill until the pump turns off automatically.
Adding any more may result in: fuel running out of the breather valve; and, damage due to
overfilling .
