EXTERNAL BBQ POINT

FITTED EQUIPMENT  Motorhomes with external
                  BBQ point

                  Models equipped with an external barbeque
                  point can be used to power any gas appliance
                  suitable for the gas used in the motorhome,
                  at the working pressure shown on the label in
                  the barbeque outlet box. Please note when
                  using the outlet that the fitted regulator will
                  allow a maximum of 1.5kg per hour of gas to
                  be taken from the gas bottle. Therefore the
                  consumption of gas from both the appliances
                  within the motorhome and the appliance
                  connected to the barbeque point cannot
                  exceed a total of 1.5kg per hour at any one
                  time. If you are in any doubt please consult
                  your dealer for advice. To use point proceed
                  as follows.

                  When external gas equipment is being
                  connected, the operating pressure of the gas
                  supply of 30 or 50 mbar must correspond with
                  the operating pressure of the equipment that is
                  being connected (see data plate).

                  The plug-in connection can only be made if the
                  quick-acting valve is closed. The safety locking
                  mechanism can be released by sliding back
                  the coupling sleeve.

                  The coupling K-valve is designed such that
                  the quick-acting valve can only be opened if
                  the connection is being made via the plug-in
                  connection. The connection is made by inserting
                  the plug-in connection into the safety coupling.

                  This operation can be carried out using one
                  hand. After uncoupling the equipment, seal off
                  the valve opening using the protection cap.

                   Note: The external gas socket is only
                   suitable for removing gas, not for feeding
                   gas into the gas system.

                                                                    ! WARNING: Care should be taken when

                                                                    using the external barbeque point. Never
                                                                    barbeque next to an awning or tent.

                                                                    ! WARNING: The caravan barbeque

                                                                    for gas, never connect a gas bottle direct to
                                                                    the outlet.
