    Introduction 1 Please read this instruction manual completely before 1Introduction using the vehicle for the first time! Always keep this instruction manual in the vehicle. Also inform all other users of the safety regulations. The non-observance of this symbol can lead to personal injury. The non-observance of this symbol can lead to damage being caused to, or inside the vehicle.

  • Page 18: General

    1 Introduction The vehicle comes without a wheelbrace and vehicle jack. We suggest you obtain a commercially available wheelbrace before you first use your car- avan, in case of an emergency. If no AL-KO vehicle jack (special equip- ment for AL-KO chassis) is present, obtain a conventional commercial scissor-type jack or an hydraulic vehicle jack, in order to have it ready in the case of mishap or emergency.
  • Page 19 Introduction 1 When parked, do not allow the engine of the towing vehicle to run more than necessary. When running idle, a cold engine releases more contami- nants than usual. The running temperature of the engine is achieved more quickly whilst the vehicle is in motion. Use an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can also be biologically degraded and only use small doses.

    2 Safety Minimum diameter of clearance = 450 mm Maximum distance from the vehicle floor = 950 mm General The oxygen in the vehicle interior is used up by breathing and the use of gas operated appliances. That is why the oxygen needs to be replaced on a constant basis.

  • Page 23: Towing

    Safety 2 Before commencing the journey, empty the waste water tank. Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre burst. You can lose control of the vehicle. Before commencing the journey, distribute the payload evenly within the vehicle (see chapter 3).

  • Page 24: Gas System

    2 Safety Gas system 2.5.1 General instructions Before commencing the journey, when leaving the vehicle or when gas equipment is not in use, close all gas isolator taps and the main isolator tap on the gas bottle. No appliance operated by a naked flame (e.g. heater or refrigerator) may be in operation when filling the tank, on ferries or in the garage.

  • Page 25: Gas Bottles

    Safety 2 Due to its function and construction, the gas bottle compartment is a space which is open to the exterior. Never cover or block up the standard forced ventilations. Otherwise gas that is emitted can not be diverted to the outside.

  • Page 26: Electrical System

    2 Safety Electrical system Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system. Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, switch off all devices and lights, disconnect the battery and disconnect the vehicle from the mains. Only use original fuses with the stipulated values. Only replace defective fuses when the cause of the defect is known and has been remedied.

    8 Electrical system The K20 value indicates how much current a battery is able to dispense over a time period of 20 hours without causing damage, or how much current is required to charge a flat battery within 20 hours. For example, if a battery can dispense 4 amps for 20 hours, then it has a capacity of 4 A x 20 h = 80 Ah.
  • Page 71 Electrical system 8 Before disconnecting or connecting the terminals of the living area battery, switch off the engine of the towing vehicle as well as the 240 V and 12 V power supplies and all appliances. Danger of short circuit! If the living area battery is disconnected and the caravan and towing vehicle are connected electrically, do not apply the ignition.
