Switching over electrical devices
Instructions for redirecting electrical devices
• Open the main shut-off valve on the gas bottle as well as the
shut-off valves on the gas-powered appliances you require.
• Switch the refrigerator from 12V to gas or 230V.
• Switch the refrigerator from 12V to gas or 230V, because the
12V supply will automatically be switched off after a brief period
of time when the (car's) engine is not running.
If the caravan socket has been attached to the tow vehi-
cle in a manner conforming to standards (DIN ISO 146),
the battery of the base vehicle will not be discharged
when the ignition has been switched off and you have
forgotten to switch the refrigerator from 12V operation.
Water installation
Water left standing in the fresh water tank or the pipes quickly beco-
mes undrinkable
.
Therefore, check the water pipes and the fresh water tank before
each journey to ensure they are clean. Disinfect and rinse the drin-
king water facility regularly, and always before each journey.
Please empty any residual water from the water tank
before
fi
lling it with fresh water
.
Securing the vehicle
Rules for securing the vehicle:
• Apply the handbrake brake.
• Only extend the corner steadies to the point where the axle
still assists in bearing the weight (The winding handle is located
in the bottle container).
• If the ground is soft, place supports under the corner steadies.
• Use the wheel chocks to secure the wheels. They are located in
the gas box.
A spring brake on the brake lever ensures that the
brakes will not disengage by themselves, even if the
rotation direction is reversed from driving forwards to
backwards. If you have activated automatic reverse, the
brake lever must be moved beyond the dead centre po-
sition to its
fi
nal position.
To ensure that the hand brake does not freeze, only pull
on it gently when the temperature reaches 0° C or lower.
