Gas system
50
Do not use the gas bottle compartment as storage space as it is not
moisture-proof.
The regulator tap on the gas bottle must be accessible.
The exhaust gas pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to
the vent and must be sealed. The exhaust gas pipe must not show any
evidence of damage.
Exhaust fumes must be able to escape into the atmosphere unhindered
and fresh air must be able to enter unhindered. For this reason, no snow
walls or aprons may be allowed to lie against the vehicle. Keep the
intake openings under the floor of the vehicle open and clean.
8.2
Gas bottles
Gas bottles are only to be transported within the designated gas bottle
compartment.
Place the gas bottles in vertical position in the gas bottle compartment.
Fasten the gas bottles so that they are unable to turn or tilt.
If the gas bottles are not connected to the gas tube, always place the
protective cap on top.
Close the regulator tap on the gas bottle before the gas pressure regu-
lator or gas tube are removed from the gas bottle.
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 only 11 kg or 5 kg gas bottles! Camping gas bottles with built-in
check valve (blue bottle with max. 2.5 or 3 kg content) are can be used
in exceptional cases with a safety valve.
For gas-operated units the gas pressure must be reduced to 30 mbar.
Connect gas pressure regulator complete with safety valve directly to bottle
valve.
The gas pressure regulator reduces the gas pressure in the gas bottle
down to the operating pressure of the gas devices.
If 2 gas bottles are used at the same time: Connect a gas pressure regu-
lator fitted with an automatic switchover device.
Information available at your Globecar dealer.
For filling and connecting the gas bottles in Europe, camping supply stores
have corresponding adapter sets.
8.3
Changing gas bottles
When changing gas bottles, do not smoke or create any open fire.
When you have changed the gas bottle, check whether gas escapes at
the connection points and unions. Use a leakage search spray to spray
the relevant connection point or union (Globecar dealer).
