arrow should be pointing towards the
appliance for the appliance to operate. There
will be a small label next to the bank of taps
under the cooker, which is also reproduced
below:
Changing a Gas Cylinder
Before commencing to change a gas cylinder
ensure that the valve on the cylinder is turned
fully off. Turn off all gas operated appliances.
Remove the gas hose from gas cylinder.
Before refitting a gas cylinder, ensure that all gas
operated appliances are turned off - particularly
after winterisation. Ensure all connections are
secure.
When the cylinder is connected please ensure
that the high
pressure hose is not placed under
any strain.
WARNING: If cylinders other than those
recommended are used, ensure that the
cylinders are adequately supported, do not
block ventilation openings and cannot
cause damage to fixtures and fittings
located in the compartment.
Gas Regulator
Your new Buccaneer caravan has been fitted
with a fully approved gas regulator designed
to operate at a gas pressure of 30Mbar. Your
regulator is fitted with a test point, which is
accessed via the inlet at the side of the
regulator. This access point is only for carrying
out gas pressure tests and should not be used
for any other purpose.
CAUTION: It is strongly recommended that
only Gas Safe Register™ approved gas fitters
carry out any work on your caravan gas
installation.
High Pressure Gas Hoses
You should only connect to this regulator
using a length of approved high-pressure
hose not exceeding 450mm from the gas
cylinder to the regulator. These approved
high-pressure hoses are available from your
Buccaneer Retailer. These hoses are
connected using screw thread fittings, which
will make a seal if connected and tightened
using a spanner. Once the hose is securely
connected turn on the gas tap above the
regulator, then turn on the gas bottle to allow
gas to flow into the caravan.
In order to make all your caravan gas
appliances operational it is necessary to open
each appliance gas tap as detailed in previous
column. All your gas appliances should now
be operational. Instructions on how to use
each appliance are detailed later in your
handbook.
WARNING: Aerosols and highly flammable
liquids must not be stored in the
compartment behind, or adjacent to, any
gas appliance. Some industrial LPG
appliances operate at high pressure and
require a ‘high pressure’ regulator. This
often has an adjusting handle on it. NEVER
use such a regulator on a caravan.
Ventilation holes must be clear at all times.
