EN-ROUTE HEATING
The majority of Swift Group motorhomes
are equipped with an LPG en-route heating
system. The en-route heating system is
installed with additional safety features.
WARNING: when re-fuelling your
motorhome, switch off the heater and close
the cylinder valve.
Safety features
• MonoControl CS regulator incorporating a
crash sensor which stops the gas flow in
the event of the motorhome being involved
in a traffic collision.
• Gas flow monitor
• Hose rupture protection is installed.
The full system is Homologated in compliance
with European Directive 2001/ 56/ EC,
Operating instructions
Priming the gas system
• Open the cylinder’s valve. (1)
• Firmly press the hose rupture protection
(green button) on the high pressure hose.
(2) If necessary (e.g. if the regulator has
been knocked when replacing a LPG
cylinder) press the green reset button on
the regulator. (3)
• Start the gas-burning devices if desired.
Note: The regulator should be replaced no
more than ten years after manufacture.
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.
• 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.
WARNING: To ensure the safe working of
the en-route heating any replacement high
pressure hoses must be of the same type as
originally fitted. They must have the safety
valve to ensure that the gas does not leak
out in the event of damage to the gas pipe
work in the event of a traffic collision.

route system all other LPG appliance shut
off valves must be in the closed position
including the fridge, cooker, water heater
etc.
