All of the fastenings on the service ap must lock into
place when closing to ensure that the ap will always
be closed tight. If the ap is not closed correctly, it
could become permanently deformed, especially when
the caravan stands unused for a longer period of time.
Spray the sealing gaskets of the service aps regularly
with silicon to ensure that they will always move easily
and operate reliably.

Gas bottle container, ONTOUR model
The gas-bottle container is permanently vented (see
also Chapter 9 Gas). Since the gas-bottle container
has not been constructed to be waterproof, moisture
may permeate the gas-bottle container.
For this reason as well, only gas bottles and the inten-
ded objects placed there by the factory (crank, chocks,
entry step, etc.) may be carried in the gas-bottle contai-
ner. Food, electrical devices, etc., must be stored in the
trailer or the car.
To close
• Close the lid of the gas bottle container.
• To lock the lid, turn the knob back to its original position.
• Latch the lock
j
with the key.
Never use force to shut the lid of the gas-bottle contai-
ner. The spring force of the hinges shuts the lid of the
gas-bottle container; after a few seconds, it will fall into
the lock by itself.
