Always ensure that the new filter cartridge is
pushed fully home into the housing.
CARVER COMPACT
Connect the fresh water hose directly to the
Carver Compact inlet.
Finally put the “pump” switch on the control
panel to “on” and turn the cold tap on until
water flows.
Prior to operation of the water heater, ensure
water is flowing from the hot tap.
GAS
Your motorhome is designed to operate using
either propane or butane liquefied petroleum
gas at 30m/bar. Gas can be obtained from your
motorhome retailer or gas stockist.
Your motorhome is designed to accept a
maximum 2 x 7.5kg gas bottles.
TYPES OF GAS
BUTANE
Butane is supplied in the U.K. in Green or Blue
bottles. All these have a male left hand thread
except for Camping Gaz, which has a special
female right hand, Calor bottles have a special
clip-on connection.
Continental bottles usually have a male left
hand thread similar, but not identical, to U.K.
butane.
Butane is suitable for use at temperatures
down to 2°C but will not work below that.
PROPANE
Propane is supplied in red, or partly red bottles
which have a female left hand threaded
connector.
Scandinavian countries use the same
connector.
Germany or Austria supply propane with a
male connection.
Propane will work at temperatures as low as
-40°C and is therefore suitable for all winter
motorhoming.
CONNECTION
Make sure that heating, cooking appliances
and gas cylinders are switched off.
Regulator valves should always be in the ‘OFF’
position when towing.
Your new Explorer Group motorhome has
been fitted with a fully approved gas regulator
designed to operate at a gas pressure of
30Mbar. Your regulator is fitted with a test
point, which is accessed via the inlet at the
side of the regulator. This access point is only
for carrying out gas pressure tests and should
not be used for any other purpose.
It is strongly recommended that only CORGI
approved gas fitters carry out any work on
your motorhome’s gas installation.
HOSES
You should only connect to this regulator using
an approved high-pressure hose of length not
exceeding 450mm from the gas cylinder to the
regulator. These approved high pressure
hoses are available from your Explorer Group
