Malfunctions caused by residues!
Proper functioning is not guaranteed.
Visually check that there are no metal chips or other residues in the connections!
It is important that metal chips or other residues are blown out!
Install with suitable tools, if required.
Regarding screw connections, use a second spanner to brace against the connection nozzle.
Do not use unsuitable tools, such as pliers.
Product damaged through incorrect installation direction
Proper functioning is not guaranteed.
Observe the installation direction (marked on the product with an arrow ).
Screw connections
If connections leak, there is a danger of explosion, fire or suffocation!
Gas may escape if the product is turned.
Do not turn the product after it has been installed and the connections have been
tightened.
Tighten connections only when they are not pressurised.
The gaskets at the inlet connections (if provided) must be replaced when re-assembling!
Make sure that the gaskets sit properly in the mounting and that the screws are tightened.
Connecting and installing hoses assemblies
Connect hoses so that mechanical, thermal and chemical stresses are avoided:
mechanical stress: e.g. do not pull the hose assembly over sharp edges
thermal effect: e.g. avoid open flames, radiant heat
chemical effect: e.g. avoid grease, oil, caustic substances
Install hose assemblies so that they are not under tension (no bending and tensile strains or
torsion).
Install hose assemblies so that their connections cannot loosen unintentionally.
Connections to the pressure regulator with 90° outlet prevent the hose assembly from being
kinked.
Observe the applicable national installation regulations for LPG systems.
To connect to the gas cylinder, suitable high pressure hose assembly with
excess flow device (e.g. Caramatic ConnectDrive – not included in the delivery) must be
used!
Mounting material
Excessive force may damage the product.
This can cause leaky connections.
Attachments must be dimensioned and connected to the vehicle wall so that this provides
a secure hold on the one hand and enables forces to be deflected safely on the other.
Forces should not affect on the product.
If the pressure regulator is installed in the flow direction downstream from another pressure
regulator, the supply pressure range must correspond to the regulated pressure range of the
first pressure regulator, with consideration of the pressure loss in the piping between the two
devices.
