The caravan is constructed in accordance with the latest state of technology and the recognised
safety regulations. Nevertheless, personal injury may result and the caravan may be damaged if the

Only use the caravan in a technically impeccable condition. Follow the instructions in the instruction

Malfunctions which impair the safety of persons or the caravan should be immediately remedied by
qualified personnel.
Have the caravan’s braking and gas systems inspected and repaired by an authorised specialist
workshop only.
Alterations to the body are only to be carried out with the authorisation of HYMER AG.
Luggage and accessories may only be transported up to the maximum permissible gross weight.
Observe the test or inspection periods stipulated in this instruction manual.
1.2 Environmental Tips
> Remember that: all kinds of waste water and household waste are not to be disposed
of in drains or in the open countryside.
> Only empty the waste water tank and Thetford cassette at disposal stations, at camp-
ing sites or in disposal points which are especially provided for this purpose. When
stopping in towns and communities observe the instructions at caravan sites or ask
where there are disposal points.
> Drain waste water tank as often as possible, even when it is not completely full (hy-
giene).
If possible, flush out waste water tank and drainage pipe with fresh water every time it
is emptied.
> Never allow the Thetford cassette to become too full. Empty the Thetford cassette fre-
quently, at the latest as soon as the filling level display lights up.
> Separate household waste according to glass, tin cans, plastic and wet waste also
when on a journey. Enquire at the town or community authority about disposal points.
Household waste is not to be disposed of in waste paper baskets which are situated at
car parks.
> Empty waste bins as often as possible into the cans or containers provided for this
purpose. This helps to avoid unpleasant smells and an accumulation of rubbish on
board.
> When parked, do not allow the engine of the towing vehicle to run more than neces-
sary. When running idle, a cold engine releases more contaminants than usual. The
running temperature of the engine is achieved more quickly whilst the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
> Use an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can also be bio-
logically degraded and only use small doses.
> When staying in towns and communities for longer periods, search for parking areas
which are especially for caravans and towing vehicles. Enquire at the town or commu-
nity authority about parking spaces.
