Gas bottles must be closed when-ever you are driving.
A special plastic inset (special accessory) must be
used for 5 kg gas bottles.
• The ventilation of the gas-bottle container (gap between the
bottom of the bottle con-tainer and the front wall) must not be
closed.
• Lock the gas-bottle container to prevent unauthorised people
from obtaining access werden.
Changing gas bottles
• Open the flap of the gas-bottle container.
• Shut the main shutoff valve on the gas bottle.
• Manually unscrew the gas pressure regulator and gas hose from
the gas bottle (left-handed thread).
• Loosen the belts and remove the gas bottle.
• Put full gas bottle back in the bottle container.
• Lash belts securely.
• Manually screw gas pressure regulator and gas hose onto the
gas bottle (left-handed thread).

escaping from the points of attachment by spraying
these with a leak indicator.
Shutoff spigots and valves
The gas circulation to the corresponding device can be cut off with
these spigots. The spigots are marked with stickers for the corre-
sponding devices.
Place of installation of gas shutoff spigots
• These are located in the kitchen in the upper drawer.
Rules for shutoff spigots and valves:
• Close all spigots on gas-powered devices during the drive.
• The gas shutoff spigots shown on the adjoin-ing photos are
closed. To open the valves, they must be turned to a vertical
position.
• No inflammable devices may be in operation when filling the
petrol tank of the base vehicle, on ferries and in the garage.

Number and assignment of the shutoff valves
depends on the model and equipment you
have; this may be different in your vehicle.
If you suspect a leak in the gas system, you must im-
mediately close all the shutoff spigots in the caravan
and the gas bottle valves in the bottle compartment.
The symbols on the gas shutoff
spigots have the following
meanings:
