8Gas system<br />
The operation of the gas operation appliances of the vehicle is described in<br />
chapter 10.<br />
8.1 General<br />
Close all gas isolator taps and the regulator tap before commencing the<br />
<br />
journey and when leaving the vehicle. Exception: If you plan to use the<br />
living area heater during the journey, leave the "Heater" gas isolator tap<br />
and the regulator tap on the gas bottle open.<br />
No source of combustion using gas (gas cooker, gas heater, gas boiler,<br />
<br />
etc.) may be in operation when filling the fuel tank, on ferries or in the<br />
garage. Danger of explosion!<br />
Only have the gas system maintained, repaired or altered by an authorised<br />
specialist workshop.<br />
<br />
Have the gas system checked by an authorised specialist workshop<br />
<br />
according to the national regulations before commissioning. This also<br />
applies for not registered vehicles. For modifications to the gas system<br />
have the gas system immediately checked by an authorised specialist<br />
workshop.<br />
The gas pressure regulator and exhaust gas pipes must also be<br />
<br />
inspected. We recommend having the gas pressure regulator checked<br />
no later than every 10 years.<br />
In case of a defect of the gas system (gas odour, high gas consumption)<br />
<br />
there is danger of explosion! Close regulator tap on the gas bottle immediately.<br />
Open doors and windows and ventilate well.<br />
If the gas system is defective: Do not smoke; do not ignite any open<br />
<br />
flames, and do not operate electric switches (light switches etc.).<br />
Have the defective gas system repaired by an authorised specialist<br />
<br />
workshop.<br />
Open a skylight before taking open sources of combustion (gas cooker)<br />
<br />
into service.<br />
Do not use the gas cooker for heating purposes.<br />
<br />
If the vehicle or gas devices are not used, close the regulator tap on the<br />
<br />
gas bottle.<br />
If there are several gas devices, each gas device must have its own gas<br />
<br />
isolator tap. If individual gas devices are not in use, close the respective<br />
gas isolator tap.<br />
Ignition safety valves must close within 1 minute after the gas flame has<br />
<br />
extinguished. A clicking sound is audible. Check function from time to<br />
time.<br />
