Safety

Before commencing the journey, put the antenna in park position.
During the initial journey and each time after changing a wheel, re-
tighten the wheel bolts/wheel nuts after 50 km (30 miles). Subsequently
inspect them at regular intervals in order to ensure that they are firmly
seated. See chapter 14 for tightening torque.
Tyres must not be older than 6 years as the material becomes brittle
over time (see chapter 14).
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
covered with snow. Otherwise the vehicle could be damaged.

Towing

 Care is to be taken when connecting and detaching a trailer. Risk of
accident and injury!
 No persons are to be between the motorhome and the trailer during
positioning for connecting and detaching.
3.5

Gas system

General instructions

 The operator of the gas system is responsible for the performance of
recurring inspections and for complying with the maintenance inter-
vals.
 Before commencing the journey, when leaving the vehicle or when the
gas devices are not in use, close all gas isolator taps and the main
regulator tap on the gas bottle.
 All gas-operated devices (heater, cooker, oven, grill, refrigerator - de-
pending on the equipment) must be switched off for refuelling, on fer-
ries or in the garage. Danger of explosion!
 Do not use gas-operated devices in closed spaces (e.g. garages).
Danger of poisoning and suffocation!
 Only have the gas system maintained, repaired or altered by an au-
thorised specialist workshop.
 Have the gas system checked by an authorised specialist workshop
according to the national regulations before commissioning. This also
applies for not registered vehicles. For modifications to the gas sys-
tem have the gas system immediately checked by an authorised spe-
cialist workshop.
 The gas pressure regulator, the gas tubes, and the exhaust gas pipes
must also be inspected. The gas pressure regulator and the gas tubes
must be replaced observing the nationally defined deadlines (the lat-
est after 10 years). The vehicle owner is responsible for seeing that
this is carried out.
 In case of a defect of the gas system (gas odour, high gas consump-
tion) there is danger of explosion! Close regulator tap on the gas bot-
tle immediately. Open doors and windows and ventilate well.
