Close the regulator tap on the gas bottle before the gas pressure regu-
lator or gas tube are removed from the gas bottle.
The gas pressure regulator or the gas tube must only be secured with a
suitable gas spanner (Do not overtighten).
Only use special gas pressure regulators with a safety valve designed
for vehicle use. Other gas pressure regulators are not permitted and
cannot meet the demanding requirements.
Use the gas pressure regulator defroster if the temperature falls below
5°C.
Use only 11 kg or 5 kg gas bottles. Camping gas bottles with built-in
check valve (blue bottle with max. 2.5 or 3 kg content) are can be used
in exceptional cases with a safety valve.
Use the shortest possible tube lengths (150 cm max.) for external gas
bottles.
Never block the floor ventilation openings below the gas bottles.
Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.
Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, switch off all devices
and lights, disconnect the battery and disconnect the vehicle from the
mains.
Only use original fuses with the stipulated values.
Only replace defective fuses when the cause of the defect is known and
has been remedied.
Never bridge or repair fuses.
Water left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes
undrinkable after a short period. For this reason, rinse the water pipes
and the water tank thoroughly with several litres of fresh water before
each use of the vehicle. To do this, open all water taps. After each use
of the vehicle completely empty the water tank and the water pipes.
If the vehicle is not used for several days or if it is not heated when there is
a risk of frost, empty the entire water system. Leave the water taps on in
central position. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if there is one) and all
drain cocks open. Frost damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle
and deposits in water-carrying components can be avoided in this way.
