Gas bottles

Gas bottles are only to be transported within the designated gas bottle
compartment.
Place gas bottles vertically in the gas bottle compartment.
Tie down 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.
Use your hands only to connect the gas pressure regulator or the gas
tube to the gas bottles. Do not use any tools.
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 a built-in
reflux valve (blue bottle with max. 2.5 or 3 kg content) are permitted in
exceptional cases with a safety valve.
Never block the ventilation openings in the floor under the gas bottles.

Electrical system

Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.
Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, switch off all devices
and lights, disconnect the battery and disconnect the vehicle from the
mains.
Only use original fuses with the stipulated values.
Only replace defective fuses when the cause of the defect is known and
has been remedied.
Never bridge or repair fuses.

Water system

Water left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes
undrinkable after a short period. For this reason, rinse the water pipes
and the water tank thoroughly with several litres of fresh water before
each use of the vehicle. To do this, open all water taps. After each use
of the vehicle completely empty the water tank and the water pipes.
If the vehicle is not used for several days or if it is not heated when there is
a risk of frost, empty the entire water system. Leave the water taps on in
central position. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if available) and all drain
cocks open. Frost damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle and
deposits in water-carrying components can be avoided in this way.
