Bottle container
The gas-bottle container holds two kg bottles
of propane gas (1). The gas bottles are con -

hose (2). Each of the bottles are fastened with
two separate belts (3) to the bottom and the
front wall of the gas-bottle container.
Rules for the gas-bottle container:
•
Before every trip, check that gas bottles are
securely fastened. Place them in an upright
position and shut the valves.
•
Re-lash all loose belts.
•
Using a leak indicator, inspect the regulator
connection for leaks every time you change a
bottle.
•
The gas-bottle container is not suitable for
transporting accessories (e.g. outer tent).
•
The main shutoff valves on the gas bottles
must always be easily accessible.
•
The ventilation of the gas-bottle container
(gap between the bottom of the bottle contai -
ner and the front wall) must not be closed.
• Lock the gas-bottle container to prevent un -
authorised people from obtaining access.
Gas bottles may only be carried in
the gas-bottle container.
Gas bottles must be closed whene -
ver you are driving.
