This type of safety warning warns of possible material damage. This type of warning must be exactly followed to prevent material damage. Important! Important Notes of this kind provide additional information with respect to technical requirements. This type of information facilitates the handling of the vehicle for the user. Adria Motorhomes...
Page 6: General Safety Instructions
• Have the vehicle brake system checked and repaired by an authorised workshop only. • When the vehicle is transported by rail or on a lorry, it must be loaded in the driving direc- tion. Adria Motorhomes...
Page 7 A wheel chock must also be carried in vehicles above 4.0 t. • A warning vest for each passenger should be carried in all vehicles. The regulations of the respective country must be observed. Contact the automobile associa- tion of the respective country for information. Adria Motorhomes...
Page 8 The gas system must be inspected again every two years and after making any modifications and repairs (Chapter 2.4.2). Installations and modifications to the gas system may be performed only by an authorised workshop. Important! The gas system may be put into service again only after inspection by a technical expert! Adria Motorhomes...
Page 9 Electric lines routed through the gas cylinder compartment have to be insulated and must not be connected with terminals; have the work performed by an authorised work- shop. Do not use the gas cylinder compartment as storage space. Secure the gas cylinder compartment against unauthorised access. Adria Motorhomes...
Page 10 Replace defective fuses only when the cause of the defect is known and has been rem- edied. Use only original fuses with the values specified in the instruction manual from the respective manufacturer. Do not bridge or repair fuses. Adria Motorhomes...
Page 11: Fire Prevention
What to do in the case of fire Correct behaviour: Evacuate all passengers. Close the shut-off valve on the gas cylinder. Switch off the electrical power supply; disconnect the vehicle from the mains. Call the fire brigade, sound the alarm. Fight the fire, if possible. Adria Motorhomes...
Page 12: Environmental Tips
When the rear carrier is used, the load distribution of the vehicle as well as its drive and brake behaviour change. Important! Have the installation of a rear carrier performed by an authorised workshop only. Ask your ADRIA dealer for advice. 2.10 Environmental tips For the protection of our environment, always pay attention to the following: Always turn off the engine when the vehicle stands still.
Page 13 Each vehicle has a bathroom unit (Chapter 8.12) with shower, sink and toilet (Chapter 16). The folding door, swinging door or curtain must be closed when taking a shower (Chapter 8.12). Heater The vehicle is equipped with a heater with hot-air blower or a warm water heating (Chapter 13). Adria Motorhomes...
Page 14 Description & equipment Water and waste water The vehicle is equipped with a water tank and a waste water tank (Chapter 12). Adria Motorhomes...
Page 15: Placing Into Service
Pay attention to the following when placing the vehicle into service: Familiarise yourself with your vehicle before the first journey. Get used to the driving characteristics and dimensions of your vehicle during a short weekend trip. Drive slowly and carefully in the beginning. Adria Motorhomes...
Page 16 Placing into service Adria Motorhomes...
Page 17: Before The Journey
Stack light objects, e.g. clothes, in higher storage compartments or in the compartments below the seats. • Always keep liquids in leak-proof containers in low-lying storage compartments. • Load the bike rack (special accessory) with only 2 to 3 bikes at the most (50 kg maximum). Adria Motorhomes...
Page 18 Depending on the model, some vehicles have additional air suspension. It requires only minor cleaning and no special maintenance. Checking or changing the operating pressure: The operating pressure can be checked and changed on the display panel underneath the driver's seat to meet the different load situations that may occur. Adria Motorhomes...
Page 19 Before starting to drive, check the function of all interior and exterior lighting equipment on the vehicle and replace defective lighting elements. Make yourself familiar with the replacement of lighting elements before starting to drive (Chap- ter 21.2). Adria Motorhomes...

Page 21: During The Journey
When driving in reverse, always have a second person assist you because the rear view mirrors can distort the distances differently. At petrol stations or in garages, switch off all "open flames" operated with gas (also refrigerator or heater). Adria Motorhomes...
Page 22 During the journey Adria Motorhomes...
Page 23: After The Journey
Do not use the corner steadies for lifting the vehicle. This could result in distortion of chassis and bodywork. To prevent the vehicle from unnecessary swaying at its parking location, we recommend extending the corner steadies on the vehicle. Adria Motorhomes...
Page 24 Some vehicles have their own living area battery (special equipment). On such vehicles, elec- trical appliances can also be used without the 230 V connection. The 12 V supply only func- tions when the 12 V voltage is switched on via the control panel. (Chapter 8.8). Adria Motorhomes...
