Safety
2.5.1

Gas stove

Danger!
Risk of suffocation
In regular operation of the gas stove there exists acute danger to life due to lack of oxy-
gen and the possibly generated odourless and toxic carbon monoxide (CO)!
Always ensure good ventilation when the gas stove is in operation. Always keep a win-
dow, a roof hood or the doors open.
Never use the gas stove for heating.
Danger!
Risk of poisoning
If a flame of the gas stove extinguishes, unburned gas flows out for a short time until
the flame failure device reacts and, together with the oxygen, generates an explosive
mixture inside the vehicle!
Watch the flames while using the burner!
When finished, shut the respective quick-action stop valve.
2.5.2

Gas cylinder compartment

Check each time before using the gas:
Store the gas cylinders exclusively in the gas cylinder compartment. They must stand
upright and fastened so that they are unable to turn or tilt.
The gas cylinder compartment must be sealed against the interior of the vehicle and
must have a vent hole in or directly above the floor plate. This vent hole must have a
minimum cross-section of 100 cm
Use only pressure regulators with safety valves! Other regulators are not allowed!
Carefully connect the regulator on the gas cylinder by hand. The screw connections on
the gas regulator have left-hand threads. Do not use tools such as wrenches or pliers.
For temperatures below 5° C, a de-icing system for r egulators (e.g. accessory Eis-Ex)
must be used.
Do not operate or store any current-storage devices (e.g. batteries) or devices that could
be the source of ignition in the gas cylinder compartment.
Electric lines routed through the gas cylinder compartment have to be insulated and
must not be connected with terminals; have the work performed by an authorised work-
shop.
Do not use the gas cylinder compartment as storage space.
Secure the gas cylinder compartment against unauthorised access.
2.5.3

Gas appliances in general

Pay attention to the following when operating the gas system:
The regulators and the exhaust gas routing must be inspected every two years! The
inspection must be confirmed on the inspection certificate according to the DVGW [Ger-
man Technical and Scientific Association on Gas and Water] worksheet G 607. The
operator has to initiate the inspection.
