8 Gas system Chapter overview 8Gas system This chapter contains instructions regarding the gas system of the vehicle. The instructions address the following topics: z z z z z z safety gas consumption changing the gas bottles gas isolator taps external gas connection automatic switching facility The operation of the gas operation appliances of the vehicle is described in Chapter 10. 8.
8 Gas system X Regularly inspect the gas tube fitted to the gas bottle connection for tight- ness. The gas tube must not have any tears and must not be porous. Have the gas tube replaced by an authorised specialist workshop no later than 10 years after the manufacturing date. The operator of the gas system must see to it that the parts are replaced. X Due to its function and construction, the gas bottle compartment is a space which is open to the exterior.
8 Gas system Z Screwed connections on the gas pressure regulator have left-handed threads. Z For gas-operated units the gas pressure must be reduced to 30 mbar. Z Connect gas pressure regulator complete with safety valve directly to bottle valve. The gas pressure regulator reduces the gas pressure in the gas bottle down to the operating pressure of the gas devices. Z For filling and connecting the gas bottles in Europe the accessories shops have corresponding Euro filling sets and Euro bottle sets.
8 8.4 Gas system Changing gas bottles X When changing gas bottles, do not smoke or create any open fire. X When you have changed the gas bottle, check whether gas escapes at the connection points and unions. Use a leakage search spray to spray the relevant connection point or union. These agents are available at the accessories shop. Fig. 77 Gas bottle compartment Open external gas bottle compartment (see Chapter 7). Close the regulator tap (Fig. 77,1) on the gas bottle (Fig. 77,4).
8 8.6 Gas system External gas connection X Always close the gas isolator tap when the external gas connection is not being used. X Only gas appliances with a suitable adapter should be connected to the external gas connection. X Connect only external gas appliances which are designed for an operation pressure of 30 mbar. X Ensure that gas does not escape at the connection point after connecting and after the gas isolator tap has been opened.
8 8.7 Gas system DuoControl CS switching facility X Do not use the switching facility in closed spaces. X During the journey the gas system may only be operated with a crash sensor and suitable high-pressure hoses with hose break guard. Danger of explosion!
