8.6 External gas connection

The external gas connection (Fig. 79) is located at the rear or to the left or right of

the vehicle depending on the model.

 Connect the external gas device to the connection point (Fig. 79,2).

 Open the gas isolator tap (Fig. 79,1).

X Always close the gas isolator tap when the external gas connection is not

being used.

X Only gas appliances with a suitable adapter should be connected to the

external gas connection.

X Connect only external gas appliances which are designed for an operation

pressure of 30 mbar.

X Ensure that gas does not escape at the connection point after connecting

and after the gas isolator tap has been opened. If there is a leak in the

external gas connection, gas will escape into the open air. Immediately close

the gas isolator tap and the main regulator tap on the gas bottle. Have the

external gas connection checked by an authorised specialist workshop.

X When connecting an external gas appliance, make sure that there is nothing

near the external gas connection that could cause a spark.

X Do not use the external gas connection to fill gas bottles. Observe the infor-

mation stickers on the external gas connection.
