Shutoff spigots and valves
The gas circulation to the corresponding device can be cut off with
these spigots. The spigots are marked with stickers for the corre-
sponding devices.
Place of installation of gas shutoff spigots
• These are located in the kitchen in the upper drawer.
Rules for shutoff spigots and valves:
• Close all spigots on gas-powered devices during the drive.
• The gas shutoff spigots shown on the adjoin-ing photos are
closed. To open the valves, they must be turned to a vertical
position.
• No inflammable devices may be in operation when filling the
petrol tank of the base vehicle, on ferries and in the garage.
Refrigerator
Gas bottles must be closed when-ever you are driving.
A special plastic inset (special accessory) must be
used for 5 kg gas bottles.
Never smoke or light open fires when changing gas
bottles. After changing bottles, check whether gas is
escaping from the points of attachment by spraying
these with a leak indicator.
If you suspect a leak in the gas system, you must im-
mediately close all the shutoff spigots in the caravan
and the gas bottle valves in the bottle compartment.
