Chapter overview
This chapter contains instructions regarding the gas system of the vehicle.
The operation of the gas operation appliances of the vehicle is described in
chapter 10.
8.1
General
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.
If the gas system is defective: Do not smoke; do not ignite any open
flames, and do not operate electric switches (light switches etc.).
Check the tightness of gas-conducting parts and lines with leakage
search spray. Do not check with an open flame.
Only the stipulated devices may be connected to internal connections.
Do not operate any device outside the vehicle if it is connected to an
internal connector.
Heating is prohibited during the journey.
Cooking is prohibited during the journey.
Before using the cooker make sure that there is sufficient ventilation.
Open a window or the skylight.
Do not use gas-operated cooking and baking facilities for heating pur-
poses.
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 re-
spective gas isolator tap.
