9.1 General safety rules for the use of liquid gas
facilities
Inspection of the gas facilities
•
Hae the gas facilities checked by an expert
before the first use.
•
The gas facilities should be inspected by
an expert every two years. This inspection
should be documented on the inspection cer -
tificate in accordance with the German Asso -
ciation of Gas and Water Experts, worksheet
G 607, and EN 949.
•
Regulator knobs, hoses and waste gas out -
lets should also be inspected.
•
We recommend that you replace the safety
regulator knob and hose pipes fter 10 years at
the latest.
•
The owner/operator is responsible for arran-
ging the inspection. This also applies for ve-
hicles that are not licensed to drive on public
roads.
Installations and modifications
•
Installations and modifications may only be
conducted by an expert.
•
Only devices with a uniform inlet pressure of
30 mbar may be operated.
• Any change in the gas facilities requires a new
inspection by an expert and written documen -
tation of this inspection.
Regulator knobs and valves
•
Only use those regulator knobs custom-made
for vehicles, with a safety valve. Other regula -
tor knobs are not permissible in accordance
with the German Association of Gas and Wa
-
ter Experts, worksheet G 607, and EN 949.
They are not sufficient to tolerate the im-
mense strain.
The gas operation pressure is
30 mbar.
Connections on gas pressure regu -
lators are screwed on counterclock -
wise.
