The kitchen sink is connected with a short hose with fitting attached, this is to be plugged
into the water outlet connection on the Air OPUS
®
and the water intake on the kitchen,
which is only accessible when the kitchen is fully extended.
The kitchen has a drain hose attached to the sink drain. This is designed to drain cold
water to a waste container/bucket as the Air OPUS
®
is a cold water unit.
The water pumps are pressure operated, so once the main 12 Volt power switch is turned
on at the circuit board, the pump will prime the system and as soon as you turn the tap on
the water will flow. Once the tap is closed the pump will turn off until the tap is turned
back on.
When the water system is not required Air OPUS
®
recommends to switch off the pump
when not in use.
When packing away the Air OPUS
®
follow the procedure below in order to drain the
system of any excess water before disconnecting the water inlet and internal waste pipe:
A. Switch off the pump at the mains power switch.
B. Open the tap & allow the excess water in the pipe to drain.
C. Close the tap once all of the water has drained.
D. Disconnect either side of the male-to-male hose coupler.
E. Place the bottom waste water outlet pipe away under sink.
Draining your Tanks prior to storage
DO NOT use your pumps to drain your tanks - running the pumps until the tank
is dry will damage your pumps and will not be covered by warranty.
Use the drain
point/sump plug on the underside of the tank. For further storage information refer to the
STORING YOUR OPUS section in this handbook.

GAS SYSTEM
Safe operating procedures for your gas system
STEP 1.
The Air OPUS
®
is fitted with rings for two 20lb
gas bottles. One bottle at a time can be connected via
the gas regulator provided and must be turned off when
the gas is not in use.
STEP 2.
To install a gas cylinder, ensure the gas cylinder is placed correctly with J-clamp,
attach the threaded gas line to the bottle ensuring that’s its been tightened so no leaks occur.
It is advisable to keep an adjustable spanner with jaw opening up to 30mm for this use.
STEP 3.
Once kitchen has been pulled out all the way you can fit the gas bayonet hose to the
bayonet. This is a simple push and twist to install.
STEP 4.
The gas tap/valve on the top of the gas bottle can now be opened. Allow 5 minutes for
gas to plumb through.
STEP 5.
Turn on the yellow gas tap (situated underneath the rear of the OPUS behind each of the
gas outlets unit) by turning 90° until it’s in -line with the gas hose.
STEP 6.
Lift up lid of the gas hob, turn on one of the burners (push in, hold the knob down until
flame is lit and stays on. Keep pressing the button until the gas has had time to fill up the system
and the burner will ignite
.
STEP 7.
Switch off the yellow gas valve when not in use and ensure that the gas bottle valve is
closed prior to packing up the Air OPUS® for transit or storage.
When Annex is being used, ensure sure both ventilation points are clear and not covered, one
on the drop skirt and the other on the roof of the rear pod. Leave the privacy screen behind your
kitchen OPEN.
Gas fumes inside a camper trailer tent could result in unconsciousness, brain damage or even
death. Follow safe operating procedures with gas at all times:
• Ensure good ventilation throughout, at ALL times
• Do not use any other gas systems than those provided with
the Air OPUS
®
camper inside the tent
• Always turn off the shut off valve IMMEDIATELY after use
.
TIP
-
If your igniter on your stove is not clicking, check your D battery hasn’t dislodged.
You can do this by removing your cutlery drawer, and the D battery is tucked under
the front of the stove top beneath the bottom right burner. This battery may lose
contact or become dislodged during transit.
