Chapter 9: Gas
9.1 General safety rules when using LPG
ttings
If you suspect that gas is leaking, take the following
measures immediately:
• Close the stop valve on the gas cylinder.
• Ignition sources such as open ames or smoking are
strictly forbidden.
• Air the rooms.
• Clear the danger zone.
• Inform your immediate surroundings (groundsman)
and, if necessary, the re brigade.
The gas ttings may only be taken into operation again
after they have been checked by an expert.
Built-in objects and changes
• Objects may only be built in and changes to the gas ttings
made by an expert.
• Only devices with a constant connection pressure of
30 mbar may be operated.
• Following any changes to the gas ttings they must be
rechecked by a recognised expert, who must provide a
written conrmation.
Checkingthegasttings
• Before initial operation have the LPG ttings checked by an
expert.
• The gas ttings must be checked every 2 years by an
LPG expert. This must be conrmed on the certicate (in
accordance with Form G 607 from the German Association
of Gas and Water Experts (DVGW) and EN 1949).
• Regulator knobs, hoses and exhaust pipes must also be
checked.
• The safety regulators and hose lines must be replaced at
least every 10 years. Should you discover tears, porous
spots or similar defects in the hose, it must be replaced
immediately.
You are not permitted to operate the heating system while
driving!
Exception:
As an optional feature, the vehicle can be equipped with a
gas pressure regulator for use while driving (e.g. ControlCS).
The operating pressure for gas is 30 mbar.
• The connecting hose should also be checked regularly for
damage. Replace it immediately if you nd tears, porous
spots or similar damage.
• The operator is responsible for having checks carried out.
This also applies for vehicles that have not been approved
for driving on the road.
