Gas Leaks; Ventilation - Bailey Approach Owner's Manual

CONNECTION OF SERVICES- The Gas System
We recommend that the gasket (part
i
number 50020-76300) is replaced
with every hose change. This will be
provided by your supplying dealer upon
replacement of the hose.
• Screw country-specific high-pressure hose
to MonoControl CS inlet and to the cylinder
• Open gas cylinder
• Press the hose rupture protection and, if
necessary the reset button
• Check hose connection to cylinder valve
and at MonoControl CS inlet for leaks after
every modification

Gas Leaks

If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the
supply should be turned off at the cylinder
immediately. Extinguish naked lights including
cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate electrical
switches. Open all doors and windows to
disperse any gas escape. Butane/Propane
gas is heavier than air; any escaping gas will
therefore collect at a low level. The strong
unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general
area of the leak to be detected. Check that the
gas is not escaping from an unlit appliance.
Never check for leaks with a naked flame; leak
investigation should be carried out using a leak
detector spray or soapy solution.
Do not operate any electrical apparatus
whatsoever, especially light switches. If the
leak is not obvious, the Motorhome should be
evacuated and a competent service engineer
consulted. Avoid naked lights when connecting
or changing a cylinder. Ensure the gas valve
is turned off. Regularly inspect the flexible
gas hoses for deterioration and renew as
necessary with approved type (all hoses should
be replaced every five years).
Remember the gas is heavier than air and
therefore sinks to the lowest point. Keep gas
cylinders outside (and protected against frost).
If they must be kept inside make sure they are
well away from heat and near to a drop out
vent.

warning prior to collapse.
Under no circumstances
Motorhome's ventilation be
obstructed in any way
High level ventilation is via the roof lights.
The low level ventilation is via the vents in the
floor at the front of the Motorhome living area
directly behind the front bulkhead. With multi
berth layouts the rear sleeping compartments
have their own low level ventilation. Please
consult your Motorhome retailer for its
location.
The mesh screens and the open end of the
gas hose should be kept free of obstructions
by dust, leaves, etc. Inspect regularly and use
a brush and soapy water as necessary. It may
be necessary to remove the weather shield
located on the underside of the floor of the
Motorhome to gain access for cleaning.

The operating pressure for the gas supply
is 30mbar (or for 28mbar butane/ 37 mbar
propane) and must correspond to the operating
pressure of the appliance (see name plate.)
Do not operate the water heater when refuelling
the vehicle and when in the fuel station.
During initial operation of a brand new
appliance (or after it has not been used for
some time), a certain amount of fumes and a
slight smell may be noticed for a short time.
Remedial action here is to immediately run
the heater at maximum output and to ensure
adequate room ventilation.
If the burner makes an unusual noise or if the
flame lifts off, it is likely that the regulator is
