Gas Appliance Safety
•
Gas appliances are certified and have a flame safeguard feature to stop gas flow in the event of the flame going
out. Never interfere with this function or replace appliances with a non-certified type.
• Slide-out kitchens with cookers should only be operated with an annex fully erected. Failing to do so may affect
the safety and operation of the gas appliance.
•
Slide-out kitchens with cookers must only be used with a flexible connecting hose that is disconnected from
thegas bayonet fitting when in its stored position. Under no circumstances permanently connect this appliance.
•
Only approved and suitable gas appliances with flame safeguard systems shall be connected to the gas bayonet(if
fitted).
Safety Chains and Shackles
Rated Shackles
Always use load rated shackles applicable to the weight of your trailer.
Attaching Chains
When attaching chains, you must always cross them and attach each chain to the diagonally opposite side of the
towbar. Ensure chains are not too long and where necessary attach to links further back from the end.
Periodically check the chains for visual wear or damage. If worn or damaged, arrange for these to be replaced with
approved, certified and suitably rated chains.
Connecting the Electrics
When connecting ensure the electric cables to your tow vehicle cannot drag on the road or foul the coupling. If
necessary, use zip ties or like keep them neat and safe from damage.
