GETTING STARTED
GAS SUPPLY
Your caravan is designed to operate using
either propane or butane liquefied petroleum
gas at 30M/bar. Gas can be obtained from
your caravan dealer. Your caravan is designed
to accept a maximum 2 x 6-7kg gas bottles.
Connection
Make sure that heating and cooking
appliances and gas cylinders are switched off.
Each gas appliance is connected to its own
gas isolation tap. These are identified on the
tap via a label. Below is a key to identify each
label.
To operate the tap the arrow on the tap shows
the direction of flow for the gas.
Changing a Gas Cylinder
Before commencing to change a gas cylinder
ensure that the valve on the cylinder is turned
fully off. Turn off all gas operated appliances.
Remove the gas hose from gas cylinder.
Before refitting a gas cylinder, ensure that all
gas operated appliances are turned off -
particularly after winterisation. Ensure all
connections are secure.
When the cylinder is connected please
ensure that the high pressure hose is not
placed under any strain.
WARNING: If cylinders other than those
recommended are used, ensure that the
cylinders are adequately supported, do
not block ventilation openings and care to
be taken not to cause damage to fixtures
and fittings located in the compartment.
Gas Regulator
Your new caravan has been fitted with a fully
approved gas regulator designed to operate
at a gas pressure of 30mBar. Your regulator
is fitted with a test point, which is accessed
via the inlet at the side of the regulator. This
access point is only for carrying out gas
pressure tests and
must not be used for any
other purpose.
Please note: Only Gas Safe Register TM
approved gas fitters can carry out any work
on your caravan gas installation.
