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
point should only be used as an outlet point
for gas, never connect a gas bottle direct to
the outlet.
