2 Safety z z z z 2.2 Open to the outside or can be shifted in horizontal direction Opening angle at least 70° Minimum diameter of clearance = 450 mm Maximum distance from the vehicle floor = 950 mm General X The oxygen in the vehicle interior is used up by breathing and the use of gas operated appliances. That is why the oxygen needs to be replaced on a constant basis. For this purpose, forced ventilation options (e.g.
Safety 2 X Before commencing the journey, open and secure the shades on the windscreen and on the driver's and front passenger's windows. X Before commencing the journey, remove the television from the support and store it securely. X Before commencing the journey, place and secure the flat screen and screen support in the initial position. If the screen holder is installed in a TV cabinet: Close TV cabinet.
2 Safety Z Before commencing the journey, put the antenna in park position. Z During the initial journey and each time after changing a wheel, re-tighten the wheel bolts/wheel nuts after 50 km (30 miles). Subsequently inspect them at regular intervals in order to ensure that they are firmly seated. See chapter 13 for tightening torque. Z Tyres may not be older than 6 years as the material becomes brittle over time (see chapter 13).
Safety 2 X If there are several gas devices, each gas device must have its own gas isolator tap. If individual gas devices are not in use, close the respective gas isolator tap. X Ignition safety valves must close within 1 minute after the gas flame has extinguished. A clicking sound is audible. Check function from time to time. X The built-in gas devices are exclusively meant for use with propane or butane gas or a mixture of both.
2 Safety X 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. X Use the gas pressure regulator defroster if the temperature falls below 5 °C. X Use only 11 kg or 5 kg gas bottles. Camping gas bottles with built-in check valve (blue bottle with max. 2.5 or 3 kg content) are can be used in exceptional cases with a safety valve.
Before the journey Chapter overview 3 3Before the journey This chapter contains important information which has to be noted before commencing your journey or carrying out any tasks before the journey.
3 Before the journey 3.3 Payload X Overloading the vehicle and wrong tyre pressure can cause tyres to burst. You can lose control of the vehicle. X Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to- drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have your loaded vehicle (with all passengers, luggage and personal objects) weighed on a public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.
3 Before the journey Mass in ready-to-drive condition The mass in ready-to-drive condition is the weight of the ready-to-drive standard vehicle. The mass in ready-to-drive condition is made up as follows: z Unladen weight (mass of the empty vehicle) with factory-installed standard equipment z Driver's weight z Basic equipment weight Unladen weight includes lubricants such as oils and coolants which have been filled, the on-board tool set, the spare wheel and a fuel tank which has been filled up to 90 %.
3 Before the journey Additional equipment Additional equipment includes accessories and special equipment. Examples of additional equipment include: z z z z z z Caravan coupling Roof rail Awning Bike or motorcycle rack Satellite unit Microwave oven Chapter 15 lists the weights of the various items of special equipment; they may also be obtained from the manufacturer.
Before the journey 3 The payload (see section 3.3.1) is the difference in weight between z Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and z Vehicle mass complete in a ready-to-drive condition.
3 Before the journey X Distribute the load evenly on both axles. In doing so, observe the axle loads specified in the vehicle documents. Observe the permissible loadcarrying capacity of the tyres (see chapter 13). X Heavy loads behind the rear axle can reduce the load on the front axle due to the leverage effect ( ). This applies especially to long rear extensions, if a motorbike is transported on the rear carrier or if there is a heavy load in the rear storage space.
3 Before the journey If the calculated value exceeds the permissible axle load, the load must be distributed in a different way. If the load on the front axle is too low, the grip of the tyres on the road is reduced (traction). This applies in particular to vehicles with front wheel drive. In this case, the load must be redistributed, too.
3 Before the journey Fig. 1 Climbing on to the roof (rear ladder): Ladder folded upwards Fig. 2 Ladder folded downwards Open the strap (Fig. 1,1) on the ladder (Fig. 1,3) at the rear of the vehicle. Fold out the guard rail (Fig. 1,2). Extend the ladder downward. Place guard rail with the rubber knobs (Fig. 2,1) up against the back panel of the vehicle. Carefully climb the ladder.
Before the journey 3 Z Distribute the load evenly. Excessive spot loads can lead to damages of the floor covering. 3.3.7 Bike rack (special equipment) X Observe the permissible axle loads and maximum permissible gross weight when loading the bike rack. X Bicycles may protrude at the side by a maximum of 40 cm, measured from the outer edge of the tail lights. However, a total width of 2.5 m must not be exceeded. Adjust the attachments for the bikes accordingly.
3 Before the journey Bike rack, lowerable Z Also read the manufacturer's instruction manual. Fig. 3 Bike rack, lowerable The bike rack (Fig. 3) permits to easily transport 2 bicycles.

Loading the bicycles: Attach the manual crank to the bicycle rack and lower the bike rack to grip- ping height.
Before the journey 3.3.8 3 Removable load rack AL-KO (special equipment) X Do not exceed the rear axle load. X Heavy loads behind the rear axle can reduce the load on the front axle due to the leverage effect ( ). This applies especially to long rear extensions, if a motorbike is transported on the rear carrier or if there is a heavy load in the rear storage space. The release of the front axle negatively affects the driving quality, especially for front-driven vehicles.
3 Before the journey 3.3.9 Load rack SAWIKO (special equipment) X Do not exceed the rear axle load. X Heavy loads behind the rear axle can reduce the load on the front axle due to the leverage effect ( ). This applies especially to long rear extensions, if a motorbike is transported on the rear carrier or if there is a heavy load in the rear storage space. The release of the front axle negatively affects the driving quality, especially for front-driven vehicles.
Before the journey 3 Attachment to vehicle The two side members (Fig. 7,1) of the load rack are fixed to the floor of the vehicle by means of tommy screws (Fig. 7,2) on the square drives (Fig. 7,4).

Electrical system Chapter overview 8 8Electrical system This chapter contains instructions regarding the electrical system of the vehicle.
8 Electrical system Total discharge Total discharge of the battery is imminent, if a battery is completely discharged by an active appliance and by closed circuit current and the off-load voltage falls below 12 V. Z Total discharge damages the battery. Capacity Capacity refers to the amount of electricity which can be stored in a battery. The capacity of a battery is given in ampere hours (Ah). The so-called K20 value is normally used.
Electrical system Operating the radio from the living area battery: 8.3.2 8 Set the selector switch to the "1" position. The radio will be powered at all times from the living area battery. Starter battery The starter battery serves for starting the engine and supplies the electrical appliances of the base vehicle as well as optional devices such as the radio, navigation system or central locking system with voltage.
8 Electrical system When charging the starter battery with an external charger, proceed as follows: Turn off the vehicle engine. Switch off the 12 V power supply on the panel. The indicator lamps or the displays on the panel go out. Switch off all gas appliances, all gas isolator taps and close the regulator tap on the gas bottle. Disconnect the starter battery from the vehicle (e.g. remove the battery ter- minals). There is a danger of short circuit when disconnecting the battery poles.
Electrical system 8 Z Before disconnecting or connecting the terminals of the battery, switch off the vehicle engine as well as the 230 V and 12 V power supplies and all appliances. Danger of short circuit! Z If the starter battery or living area battery are disconnected, do not apply the ignition. There is a danger of short circuit from exposed cable ends. Z For models with a Fiat base vehicle, the radio in the driver's cabin is con- nected to the living area battery.
8 Electrical system Z Depending on the model, not all slots for the fuses are occupied. Z If there are several living area batteries, use an auxiliary charging unit. Z Further information can be obtained in the manufacturer's instruction manual. Fig.
Electrical system Battery cut-off switch 8 The battery cut-off switch switches off all the appliances in the living area, even inactive ones. Even appliances such as the entrance step, basic lighting or the refrigerator will stop working. This prevents the living area battery from slowly discharging if the vehicle is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. temporary lay-up).
8 Electrical system 8.4.2 Transformer/rectifier (EBL 220) Z Do not cover the ventilation slots. Danger of overheating! Z Depending on the model, not all slots for the fuses are occupied. Z If there are several living area batteries, use an auxiliary charging unit. Z Further information can be obtained in the device manufacturer's instruc- tion manual. Fig.
Electrical system 8 z The transformer/rectifier provides connections for a solar charge regulator, an auxiliary charging unit, as well as other control and monitoring functions. z When the engine is turned off, the transformer/rectifier separates the starter battery electrically from the living area battery. This prevents the 12 V living area appliances from discharging the starter battery. The transformer/rectifier only works in conjunction with a panel.
8 Electrical system Measures: Switch off all electrical appliances that are not absolutely essential at the corresponding switch. If necessary, use the 12 V main switch to switch the 12 V power supply back on for a short while. This is only possible, however, when the battery voltage is above 11 V. If the voltage is below this level, the 12 V power supply cannot be switched on again until the living area battery has been recharged.
Electrical system 8 Z When leaving the vehicle, switch off the main 12 V power supply at the panel. This prevents any unnecessary discharge of the living area battery. Z Appliances, such as control units (e.g. solar charge regulator, defroster or panel) or fitted appliances (e.g. heating, refrigerator or step) continue to take power from the battery capacity, even if the 12 V power supply on the panel is switched off.

13 Wheels and tyres Z Only check the tyre pressure on cold tyres. The payload and the durability of tyres is directly dependent on the tyre pressure. Air is a volatile medium. It is unavoidable that it will escape from tyres. As a rule of thumb it can be assumed that a filled tyre loses pressure at a rate of 0.1 bar every two months. To prevent the tyres becoming damaged or burst, check the tyre pressure regularly. The contact surface of the tyre changes, depending on the tyre pressure.
