8.2 Gas bottles
X
Due to its function and construction, the gas bottle compartment is a
space which is open to the exterior. Never cover or block the standard
forced ventilation. Otherwise leaking gas cannot be dispersed to the out-
side.
X
Do not use the gas bottle compartment as storage space as it is not
moisture-proof.
X
Secure the gas bottle compartment in order to prevent unauthorised per-
sons opening it. To do so lock the access.
X
The regulator tap on the gas bottle must be accessible.
X
Only connect gas-operated devices (e.g. gas grill) which have been
designed for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.
X
The exhaust gas pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to
the vent and must be sealed. The exhaust gas pipe must not show any
evidence of damage.
X
Exhaust fumes must be able to escape into the atmosphere unhindered
and fresh air must be able to enter unhindered. Therefore keep the
waste gas vents and intake openings clean and free (e.g. of snow and
ice). No snow walls or aprons may be allowed to lie against the vehicle.
X
Gas bottles are only to be transported within the designated gas bottle
compartment.
X
Place gas bottles vertically in the gas bottle compartment.
X
Tie down gas bottles so that they are unable to turn or tilt.
X
If the gas bottles are not connected to the gas tube, always place the
protective cap on top.
X
Close the regulator tap on the gas bottle before the gas pressure regu-
lator or gas tube are removed from the gas bottle.
X
Use your hands only to connect the gas pressure regulator or the gas
tube to the gas bottles. Do not use any tools.
X
Only use special gas pressure regulators with a safety valve designed
for vehicle use. Other gas pressure regulators are not permitted and
cannot meet the demanding requirements.
X
Use only 11 kg or 5 kg gas bottles. Camping gas bottles with a built-in
reflux valve (blue bottle with max. 2.5 or 3 kg content) are permitted in
exceptional cases with a safety valve.
X
Never block the ventilation openings in the floor under the gas bottles.
Z
Screwed connections on the gas pressure regulator have left-handed
threads.
Z
For gas-operated units the gas pressure must be reduced to 30 mbar.
Z
Connect gas pressure regulator complete with safety valve directly to bottle
valve.
The gas pressure regulator reduces the gas pressure in the gas bottle
down to the operating pressure of the gas devices.
Z
For filling and connecting the gas bottles in Europe the accessories shops
have corresponding Euro filling sets and Euro bottle sets.
Z
Information is available at the dealers and service centres.
