    Introduction 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 10: General

    Introduction General The vehicle is constructed in accordance with the latest technology and the recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, personal injury may result and the vehicle may be damaged if the safety instructions in this instruction manual are not followed. Only use the vehicle in a technically impeccable condition. Follow the instruc- tions in the instruction manual.

The instructions address the following topics: fire prevention and what to do in case of fire general care of the vehicle road safety of the vehicle towing gas system of the vehicle...

  • Page 14: General

    Safety General The oxygen in the vehicle interior is used up by breathing and the use of gas operated appliances. That is why the used air must be replaced per- manently. For this purpose, forced ventilation systems (e.g. skylights with forced ventilation, mushroom-shaped vents or floor vents) are installed in the vehicle.
  • Page 15 Safety Before commencing the journey, rotate all swivel seats in the direction of travel and lock in position. During the journey, the swivel seats must remain locked in place in the direction of travel. Carefully store all moving parts and all loose objects before starting your journey.

  • Page 16: Towing

    Safety Tyres should not be older than 6 years as the material becomes brittle over time (see chapter 13). When using snow chains, the tyres, wheel suspension and steering are subjected to an additional load. When using snow chains, drive slowly (maximum speed 50 km/h) and only on streets which are completely cov- ered with snow.

  • Page 17: Gas Bottles

    Safety If there are several gas devices, each gas device must have its own gas isolator tap. If individual gas devices are not in use, close the respective gas isolator tap. Ignition safety valves must close within 1 minute after the gas flame has extinguished.

  • Page 18: Electrical System

    Safety Only use special gas pressure regulators with a safety valve designed for vehicle use. Other gas pressure regulators are not permitted and cannot meet the demanding requirements. Use the gas pressure regulator defroster if the temperature falls below 5 °C. Use only 11 kg or 5 kg gas bottles.

    Before the journey Chapter overview 3Before the journey This chapter contains important information which has to be noted before com- mencing your journey or carrying out any tasks before the journey. The instructions address the following topics: initial start-up calculating the payload correct loading of the vehicle and bike rack towing retracting and extending the entrance step...

  • Page 20: Terms

    Before the journey 3.2.1 Terms Technically speaking, the term "mass" has now replaced the term "weight". However, "weight" is still the term more frequent in common use. For better understanding, "mass" is therefore only used in the following sections for fixed formulations.
  • Page 21 Before the journey You will find explanations on the individual components of the payload in the following text. Conventional load The conventional load is the weight specified by the manufacturer for the pas- sengers. Conventional load means: 75 kg are calculated for every seat specified by the manufacturer, regardless of how much the passengers actually weigh.

  • Page 22: Calculating The Payload

    Before the journey 3.2.2 Calculating the payload The payload calculation at the factory is partly based on all-inclusive weights. For safety reasons, the maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition must not be exceeded. The maximum permissible gross weight and the weight including special equipment fitted at the factory (actual weight) is shown in the vehicle documents, but not the weight of the loaded vehicle (see section 3.2.1).

  • Page 23: Loading The Vehicle Correctly

    Before the journey This can be used to determine the weight that remains for the personal equip- ment: Determine the weight of the passengers and subtract it from the value for the actual payload. The result is the weight that is permitted for the actual load of the personal equipment.

  • Page 24: Roof Load

    Before the journey Measure the external distances horizontally from the centre of the front wheel to the centre of the storage space or to the centre of the back wheel. Calculating axle loads: Multiply the distance between storage space and front axle (A) with the weight of the load in the storage space (G) and divide the result by the wheelbase (R).

  • Page 25: Bike Rack

    Before the journey If the vehicle is equipped with a roof rail, load racks can be mounted on the roof rail for roof loads (e.g. for surfboards, rubber boats or light canoes). Special girder systems are available as accessory. The authorised dealer or service centre will be happy to advise you.

  • Page 26: Towing

    Before the journey Towing Care is to be taken when connecting and detaching a trailer. Risk of acci- dent and injury! No persons are to be between the motorhome and the trailer during posi- tioning for connecting and detaching. Observe the permissible nose weight and rear axle load of the motorhome.

    Before the journey Fig. 1 Rocker button for entrance step (entrance area) Retracting or extending: Press the rocker button (Fig. 1,1) situated in the entrance area. When the engine is running and the entrance step is extended, a warning tone is heard.

  • Page 28: Snow Chains

    Before the journey Snow chains Only mount snow chains if there is a clearance of at least 50 mm between the tyres and the vehicle body. When using snow chains, the tyres, wheel suspension and steering are subjected to an additional load. When using snow chains, drive slowly (maximum speed 50 km/h) and only on streets which are completely cov- ered with snow.

    During the journey Driving speed The vehicle is equipped with a powerful engine. This means there are sufficient reserves in difficult traffic situations. This high power enables a high maximum speed and requires above-average driving ability. The vehicle provides a large contact surface for wind. A sudden cross- wind can be especially dangerous.

  • Page 33: Fastening The Seat Belt Correctly

    During the journey 4.4.2 Fastening the seat belt correctly Do not twist the belt. The belt must be positioned smoothly against the body.

    Electrical system Terms Off-load voltage The off-load voltage is the voltage of the battery in idle condition, i.e. no current is consumed and the battery is not being charged. The battery must remain idle for a while before measuring. After charging the last time, or after the last current has been drained by appliances, wait approximately 2 hours before measuring the off-load voltage.

  • Page 69: Starter Battery

    Electrical system If the inverter is connected directly to the battery, the current consumption of the inverter will not be indicated by panel. The display shows incorrect values. Due to the high discharging current, the terminal voltage in the battery drops significantly.
