Chapter 9: Gas
9.1 General safety rules when using LPG
fittings
If you suspect that gas is leaking, take the following
measures immediately:
• Close the stop valve on the gas cylinder.
• Ignition sources such as open flames or smoking are
strictly forbidden.
• Air the rooms.
• Clear the danger zone.
• Inform your immediate surroundings (groundsman)
and, if necessary, the fire brigade.
The gas fittings may only be taken into operation again
after they have been checked by an expert.
Built-in objects and changes
• Objects may only be built in and changes to the gas fittings
made by an expert.
• Only devices with a constant connection pressure of
30 mbar may be operated.
• Following any changes to the gas fittings they must be
rechecked by a recognised expert, who must provide a
written confirmation.
Checking the gas fittings
• Before initial operation have the LPG fittings checked by an
expert.
• The gas fittings must be checked every 2 years by an
LPG expert. This must be confirmed on the certificate (in
accordance with Form G 607 from the German Association
of Gas and Water Experts (DVGW) and EN 1949).
• Regulator knobs, hoses and exhaust pipes must also be
checked.
• The safety regulators and hose lines must be replaced at
least every 10 years.
You are not permitted to operate the heating system while
driving!
Exception:
As an optional feature, the vehicle can be equipped with a
gas pressure regulator for use while driving (e.g. ControlCS).
The operating pressure for gas is 30 mbar.
• The connecting hose should also be checked regularly for
damage. Replace it immediately if you find tears, porous
spots or similar damage.
• The operator is responsible for having checks carried out.
This also applies for vehicles that have not been approved
for driving on the road.
