3.5.1 General information

Care is to be taken when connecting and detaching a trailer. Risk of acci-
dent and injury!

No persons are to be between the towing vehicle and the trailer during
positioning for connecting and detaching.

Close all gas isolator taps and the regulator tap before commencing the
journey and when leaving the vehicle.

No appliance (e.g. heating or refrigerator) that is operated through the
built-in burner may be operational while fuel is being filled up, on ferries
or in the garage. Danger of explosion!

If an appliance is operated through a burner, do not start the appliance
up in closed areas (e.g. garages). Danger of poisoning and suffocation!

Have the gas system serviced, repaired or altered by an authorised
workshop only.

Have the gas system checked by an authorised specialist workshop
before starting up and according to the national regulations. This also
applies for not registered vehicles. For modifications to the gas system
have the gas system immediately checked by an authorised specialist
workshop.

The gas pressure regulator and the exhaust gas pipes also have to be
checked. The gas pressure regulator has to be replaced at least every
10 years. The vehicle owner is responsible for seeing that this is carried
out.

In case of a defect of the gas system (gas odour, high gas consumption)
there is danger of explosion! Close the regulator tap on the gas bottle
immediately. Open doors and windows and ventilate well.

In case of a defect in the gas system: Do not smoke; do not ignite any
open flames, and do not operate electric switches (light switches etc.).

Have the defect in the gas system repaired by an authorised specialist
workshop.

Open a skylight or a window before taking open sources of combustion
(gas cooker) into service.

Do not use the gas cooker or gas oven for heating purposes.

If the vehicle or gas devices are not used, close the regulator tap on the
gas bottle.

If there are several gas devices, each gas device must have its own gas
isolator tap. If individual gas devices are not in use, close the respective
gas isolator tap.

Ignition safety valves must close within 1 minute after the gas flame has
extinguished. A clicking sound is audible. Check function from time to
time.

The installed gas appliances are designed for use solely with propane or
butane gas or a mixture of both. The gas pressure regulator as well as
all installed gas devices are set for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.
