7.2 Gas Bottles
The gas pressure regulator reduces the gas pressure in the gas bottle down to the operating pres-
sure of the gas units.
If 2 gas bottles are used at the same time:
Connect a gas pressure regulator fitted with an automatic switchover device.
Due to its function and construction, the gas bottle compartment is a space which is
open to the exterior. In order to enable leaking gas to immediately be dispersed out-
side, the standard forced ventilation is never to be blocked or covered.
Do not use the gas bottle compartment for storage.
Lock the gas bottle compartment in order to prevent unauthorised persons opening it.
The regulator tap on the gas bottle must be accessible.
Only connect gas-operated devices (e. g. gas grill) which have been designed for a
gas pressure of 30 mbar.
The exhaust pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to the chimney and
must be sealed. The exhaust gas pipe must not show any evidence of damage.
Waste air must be able to leave and fresh air must be able to enter unhindered. For
this reason, no snow walls or aprons must be allowed to lie against the vehicle. Keep
the intake openings under the floor of the vehicle open and clean.
Gas bottles are only to be transported within the designated gas bottle compartment.
Secure gas cylinders in a vertical position. At no time should gas cylinders be trans-
ported horizontally.
Close the regulator tap on the gas bottle before the gas pressure regulator or gas
tube are removed from the gas bottle.
The gas pressure regulator must only be secured with a suitable gas spanner (Do
not overtighten).
The designated gas bottle compartment will accommodate two gas cylinders, i. e.
Calor Gas Butane/Propane or Camping Gaz. All gas cylinders must be fitted with the
appropriate regulator.
Use the shortest possible hose lengths (150 cm max.) for external gas bottles.
Check the gas tube regularly for wear and tear. It is recommended that the gas tube
be replaced every 12 months, or earlier if necessary.
> For gas-operated units the gas pressure must be reduced to 30 mbar.
> Connect gas pressure regulator complete with safety valve directly to bottle valve.
> Information available at the ERIBA service centre.
> For filling and connection of the gas bottles in Europe the ERIBA accessories shops
have corresponding Euro filling sets and Euro bottle sets.
> For information on the gas supply in Europe see chapter 17.
