Awning Spaces LPG Appliance Exhaust
There is no danger of pollution of an enclosed
awning space by the LPG exhaust from a
refrigerator venting into it, as awning spaces
are generally well ventilated.
Space heaters may produce sufficient exhaust
to pollute the awning space, if it is totally
enclosed, from a general comfort, smell and
hygiene point of view. In the extreme case
there could be a build up of carbon dioxide to
a dangerous level.
Caravan owners are advised to allow some
fresh air circulation in the awning space when
such appliances are in use.
Precautions
a. Never look for a leak with a flame. Always
use a soap solution or its equivalent when
testing connections. Do not operate any
electrical apparatus whatsoever, especially
light switches. If the leak is not obvious, the
caravan should be evacuated and qualified
personnel consulted.
b. Avoid naked lights when connecting or
changing a cylinder.
c. Check the flexible hose frequently.
d. The gas is heavier than air and therefore
sinks to the lowest point.
e. Keep bottle gas containers outside (and
protected against frost). If they must be
kept inside make sure they are well away
from heat.
!
WARNING:
Do not use appliances with
a different working pressure to 30mbar.
!
WARNING:
Maintain adequate spacing
of combustible materials from sources
of heat.
!
WARNING:
Do not use independent
portable gas appliances inside the vehicle.
Cookers shall not be used as heaters
!
WARNING:
A BBQ point inlet valve, if
fitted, must only be used for the connection
of portable LPG appliances.

WARNING:
Always read individual
appliance instructions

Changing a gas cylinder
Please use the correct size spanner for the gas
hose connectors as this will prevent damage
to the screw fittings and ensure that the fitting
is tightened sufficiently.
• Turn off gas appliances
• Close the empty gas cylinder's valve
• Remove the high pressure hose from the gas
cylinder.
• Attach the high pressure hose to the full gas
cylinder.
• Open the full cylinder's valve.
• Press the hose-break safety device.
Check the hose connection to the cylinder
valve for leaks
Ensure that the gas regulator hose is correctly
connected to the gas cylinder in gas bottle
compartment and that the hose connection
is tight.
Gas bottles must be fully located, seated at
the base of the bottles and restrained by the
strap provided in the dedicated compartment
position. Straps are positioned to suit 6kg
Calor Lite cylinders.
!
WARNING:
If using cylinders other
than those recommended, the user must
ensure these are adequately supported,
ventilation openings must not be obstructed
and the cylinders must not cause damage
to other fixtures and fittings located in the
compartment.
Open ended gas hoses must always be
protected from dirt and insects.
Before turning on the gas supply at the
regulator, ensure that all gas operated
equipment in the caravan is turned off.
All gas equipment (except barbecue and
some water heaters) is supplied through a
central Gas Manifold System which
