Chapter 9: Gas

9.1 General safety rules when using LPG
fittings
The operating pressure for gas is 30 mbar.
You are not permitted to operate the heating system while
driving!
Exception:
As an optional feature, the vehicle can be equipped with a
gas pressure regulator for use while driving (e.g. ControlCS).
Checking the gas fittings
• Before initial operation have the LPG fittings checked by an
expert.
• The gas fittings must be checked every 2 years by an
LPG expert. This must be confirmed on the certificate (in
accordance with Form G 607 from the German Association
of Gas and Water Experts (DVGW) and EN 1949).
• Regulator knobs, hoses and exhaust pipes must also be
checked.
• The safety regulators and hose lines must be replaced at
least every 10 years.
• The connecting hose should also be checked regularly for
damage. Replace it immediately if you find tears, porous
spots or similar damage.
• The operator is responsible for having checks carried out.
This also applies for vehicles that have not been approved
for driving on the road.
If you suspect that gas is leaking, take the following
measures immediately:
• Close the stop valve on the gas cylinder.
• Ignition sources such as open flames or smoking are
strictly forbidden.
• Air the rooms.
• Clear the danger zone.
• Inform your immediate surroundings (groundsman)
and, if necessary, the fire brigade.
The gas fittings may only be taken into operation again
after they have been checked by an expert.
Built-in objects and changes
• Objects may only be built in and changes to the gas fittings
made by an expert.
• Only devices with a constant connection pressure of
30 mbar may be operated.
• Following any changes to the gas fittings they must be
rechecked by a recognised expert, who must provide a
written confirmation.
