e. In case of partial refueling, the refueling sequence can be interrupted at any time by 

pressing the red ”Stop cycle” button (Figure 19). 

Always follow the instructions on 

the screen before removing the nozzle. 

f.

Refuelling takes no longer than five minutes.

 

11. Disconnect the HRS nozzle

 by pulling the outer sleeve of the nozzle towards you (a brief hiss 

will be audible, which is caused by gas purging from the fill lines). Lift the nozzle away from 

the Rasa Beta refueling receptacle. Return the nozzle to the dispenser.

 

12. Remove the green earthing connection

 and return it to the dispenser. 

13. Replace the dust cap on the Rasa Beta and close the fuel hatch

14. Drive away.

 

 

 

6. Maintaining the Rasa Beta 

The Rasa Beta is a Riversimple asset and is not to be maintained by the user due to the hazards and 

specialised skills involved. The only tasks which are permitted to be performed by users is inflation of 

the tyres and topping up the washer fluid. Even these tasks need to be performed with special care. 

If in doubt please contact Riversimple. 

 

6.1 Tyre Inflation

 

Tyre Pressures: 

Front – 38 Psi (2.62 Bar) 

Rear – 38 Psi (2.62 Bar) 

 

Note – due to the rear wheel spats it may not be possible to access the inflation nozzle unless it is 

below the base of the spat. Contact Riversimple if these tyres require inflation. 

Do not attempt to jack the Rasa Beta or remove the wheels. In the event a tyre needs repair or 

replacement contact Riversimple. 

 

6.2

Topping up the washer fluid  

To top up the washer fluid the bonnet will need to be removed according to the following sequence: 

1. Open both doors and release the 2-stage clips on each side (see Figures 22 and 23). The 

inner catch must be released first, then pull the outer catch towards you.
