GAS INSTALLATION
5-1
Note
The gas cylinders are not supplied with the
vehicle!
The commercially available red gas cylinders
can only be filled by your local gas dealer.
The commercially available grey gas
cylinders can be filled or exchanged
throughout Europe. Sometimes a gas test
certificate, attached to the vehicle, is
demanded. You can present this to your gas
supplier.
Gas cylinder box
You will find the position of the relevant gas
cylinder box on the equipment pages from
1-1. The gas cylinder box accommodates two
11 kg gas cylinders. Both gas cylinders must
always be secured by a fastening strap to
prevent twisting. The pressure controller
must be connected to the cylinder (left-hand
thread) in such a way that there is no tension
or buckling in the connection hose. Where
energy is to be supplied in the form of gas,
open the cylinder. If the gas in one cylinder
has been used up, connect the other cylinder
manually.
Duomatic L Plus (optional)
The Duomatic L Plus automatically switches
to a reserve cylinder as soon as the
operating cylinder is empty. The Duomatic
consists of a central controller and a
switchover controller on the gas cylinders
and a control element in the body. This is
located next to the monitoring panel. The
knob on the switch-over controller
determines which cylinder is operative and
which is in reserve.
The installation is started up by means of the
rocker switch on the control element. The
installation is ready for operation when the
switch is in the "down" position. On the
control element two lamps indicate whether
the corresponding gas cylinders contain any
gas. The lamp goes out when the gas
cylinder is empty. When the switch is in the
"up" position, the installation goes into winter
mode: the gas pressure controllers are
heated in addition. When the switch is in the
central position the installation is switched
off, but it is still under pressure. The gas
supply is isolated mechanically only by
means of the shut-off valves of the cylinders.
In the case of accidents or malfunctions
you must also consult the operating
instructions from the various equipment
manufacturers.
You will find further safety instructions
