Gas regulator for France and Great Britain
*
Duetospeciccountryregulations,thegasregulatorinvehicles
exportedtoFranceandGreatBritainisrmlymountedonthewall
ofthegasbottlecontainer.Therequirestheuseofahigh-pressure
hose.Therefore,thelow-pressurehosesthatarenormallyused
maynotbettedhere.
Regulator knobs and valves
• Onlyusethoseregulatorknobscustom-madeforvehicles,
withasafetyvalve.Otherregulatorknobsarenotpermissible
inaccordancewiththeGermanAssociationofGasandWater
Experts,worksheetG607,andEN1949.Theyarenotsuci-
enttotoleratetheimmensestrain.
• Pressurecontroldevicesmusthaveaxedoutletpressureof
30mbar.TherequirementsofEN12864,AppendixD,apply
accordingly.Theregulatormusthavearateofowof1.2kg/h.
• Connecttheregulatorknoborhigh-pressurehose*tothebottle
carefullybyhand(NB: left-handed thread).
• Usethede-icingsystem(Eis-Ex)*fortheregulatorknobswhen
thetemperaturedropsbelow5°C.
Thismustbetakenintoaccountshoulditbenecessary
toreplacethehose.
Connectionsongaspressureregulatorsarescrewed
oncounterclockwise.
High-pressuregashosesmustbereplacedevery5
years(themanufacturingdateprintedonthehoseis
decisivefordeterminingwhenthismustbedone).
Before rst use
• Theexhaustpipemustbesecurelyattachedtotheheatingsys-
temandtheue,makingsurethatitdoesnotleak.Itmustnot
bedamagedinanyway.
• Ventilationopeningsshouldremainunob-structed.
• Ifnecessary,removesnowfromtheue.
• Removeanydirtandsnow/debrismixturefromthesuction
openingsunderthevehicleoor;otherwise,thelevelsofcar-
bonmonoxidecouldincreasetodangerouslevels.
• Thesafetyventilationopeningsmaynotbeclosed.
• Werecommendthatyoukeepareextinguisherthatuses
dryingpowder,withacapacityofatleast1kg,bytheentry
door,aswellasareblanketbythecooker.Ensurethatevery-
oneisfamiliarwiththerepreventionmeasuresonsite(see
also 2.2).
Readtheoperatinginstructionsfromthemanufacturer
carefully.
Connecting the gas regulator to the gas
bottle
Positioning the gas bottle in the gas bottle
container
Neveruseportablecookingorheatingequipment,ex-
ceptforelectricalheatingequipment(notethepower
consumption),butnotradiantheaters,becausethese
maycauseareorriskofsuocation.
