9 - GAS SYSTEM
9.1 General description
The gas system, calibrated at a running pressure of
30 mbar, branches out from the gas bottle locker
which is completely sealed with respect to the living
quarters and is provided with air grilles directed
outwards.
The space available allows housing one gas bottle,
with the possibility to house a second gas bottle. Gas
bottles must be secured using the fastening belts.
It is recommended to close the taps of unused appli-
ances and the main valve of the bottle, if no gas
appliance is being used.
Two-way taps marked with symbols.
a) Heating-boiler.
b) Hob.
Gas bottle replacement
For gas bottle replacement, follow the procedure
below:
1) Ensure that the taps of all the gas powered appli-
ances are closed.
2) Close the tap of the bottle to be replaced.
3) Unscrew the nut which fastens the hose to the
tap of the empty bottle.
4) Detach the bottle from the fasteners and remove
it from the bay.
5) Verify the closure of the tap of the bottle to be
installed.
6) Insert it in the bay inside the bottle housing,
fastening it with the specific fasteners.
7) Remove the plastic cap which seals the new
bottle.
8) Remove from inside the cap the new seal and
replace the old one at the end of the hose.
9) Manually screw the nut of the hose to the new
bottle, completing fastening by the specific
wrench, in order to ensure seal tightness.
10) Slowly open the tap of the bottle, taking care to
detect any gas leakage (strong smell of gas or
pressure leak noise).

Some equipment/models are equipped with a
diesel fuelled heating boiler.
NOTE
During the winter the use of propane gas is
recommended (the butane gas does not gasify at
temperatures lower than 0 °C).
NOTE
During the journey or during stops at filling
stations it is forbidden to keep the main valve of
the gas bottle open.
WARNING
Before using any gas appliance, ensure that gas
system is safe and controlled, and the air inlets of
the vehicle are cleaned, both on the roof and on
the floor level.
WARNING
When connecting or disconnecting the gas bottle
and during any handling operations of the gas
bottles inside the locker, extreme care must be
taken to avoid damaging, stretching or bending
the flexible hose.
WARNING
Look for any minor leak by means of a soap
water solution (never using flames) using a brush,
spreading such solution on the areas where a leak
is more likely (joints). Bubbles, if any, indicate a
leak.
WARNING
Inspect flexible gas hoses regularly for deterio-
ration and renew as necessary with the approved
type. Either the expiry date or the production date
is marked on the hoses. If the production date is
indicated, refer to the regulations in force in your
country to determine the expiry date. In any case,
the expiry date of the hoses may vary depending
on the country you are in.
