Safety
3
X
Have the defect in the gas system repaired by an authorised specialist
workshop.
X
Open a skylight or a window before taking open sources of combustion
(gas cooker) into service.
X
Do not use the gas cooker or gas oven for heating purposes.
X
If the vehicle or gas devices are not used, close the regulator tap on the
gas bottle.
X
If there are several gas devices, each gas device must have its own gas
isolator tap. If individual gas devices are not in use, close the respective
gas isolator tap.
X
Ignition safety valves must close within 1 minute after the gas flame has
extinguished. A clicking sound is audible. Check function from time to
time.
X
The installed gas appliances are designed for use solely with propane or
butane gas or a mixture of both. The gas pressure regulator as well as
all installed gas devices are set for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.
X
Propane gas is capable of gasification up to -42 °C, whereas butane gas
gasifies at 0 °C. Below these temperatures no gas pressure is available.
Butane gas is unsuitable for use in winter.
X
Regularly inspect the gas tube fitted to the gas bottle connection for
tightness. The gas tube must not have any tears and must not be
porous. Have the gas tube replaced by an authorised specialist work-
shop no later than 10 years after the manufacturing date. The operator
of the gas system must see to it that the parts are replaced.
X
Due to its function and construction, the gas bottle compartment is a
space which is open to the exterior. Never cover or block the standard
forced ventilation. Otherwise leaking gas cannot be dispersed to the out-
side.
X
Do not use the gas bottle compartment as storage space as it is not
moisture-proof.
X
Secure the gas bottle compartment in order to prevent unauthorised per-
sons opening it. To do so lock the access.
X
The regulator tap on the gas bottle must be accessible.
X
Only connect gas-operated devices (e.g. gas grill) which have been
designed for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.
X
The exhaust gas pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to
the vent and must be sealed. The exhaust gas pipe must not show any
evidence of damage.
X
Exhaust fumes must be able to escape into the atmosphere unhindered
and fresh air must be able to enter unhindered. Therefore keep the
waste gas vents and intake openings clean and free (e.g. of snow and
ice). No snow walls or aprons may be allowed to lie against the vehicle.
