Securing the vehicle
Rules for securing the vehicle:
• Set the parking brake.
• Only extend the rotating stanchions to the point where the axle
still assists in bearing the weight (The crank is located in
the bottle container).
• If the ground is soft, place supports under the rotating stanchions.
• Use the wheel chocks to secure the wheels. They are located in
the gas bottle container.
A spring brake on the brake lever ensures that the
brakes will not disengage by themselves, even if the
rotation direction is reversed from driving forwards to
backwards. If you have activated automatic reverse,
the brake lever must be moved beyond the dead cen-
tre position to its final position.
Redirecting electrical devices
Rules for redirecting electrical devices
• Open the main shut-off valve on the gas bottle as well as the
shut-off valves on the gas-powered appliances you require.
• Redirect the refrigerator from 12 V to gas or 230 V.
• Switch refrigerator from 12V to gas or 230V, because the 12V
supply will automatically be switched off after a brief period of
time when the (car's) engine is not running.
If the caravan socket has been attached to the base
vehicle in a manner conforming to standards
(DIN ISO 146), the battery of the base vehicle will not
be discharged when the ignition has been switched off
and you have forgotten to switch the refrigerator from
12V operation.

.
comes undrinkable
Please empty any residual water from the water tank
before filling it with fresh water

each drive to ensure they are clean. Disinfect and rinse the drinking
water facility regularly, and always before each journey.
