Adhere to speed limits. Note that these are generally 10 mph. (Remember that the stopping distance on grass is considerably greater than on tarmac.)

Only a person in possession of a current driving licence may drive on the site.

Park correctly as advised on your pitch.

Where possible leave 20 feet of free space around your vehicle.

Use of Site Appliances

Use the electrical mains hook-up in the correct manner and with caution.

Ensure that all fresh water taps/connections are turned off after use.

Have care and consideration when using all facilities (toilets and showers etc) and leave clean and tidy. Young children should be supervised.

Waste Disposal

If the vehicle is not fitted with a waste water tank, a suitable receptacle should be placed below all waste water outlet pipes. Do not let these containers overflow.

Dispose of all waste water where instructed.

Empty effluent from chemical toilets where instructed.

To avoid possible damage to sewage purification works, only approved chemical fluids must be used. Under no circumstances should coal tar, phenol or caustic-based fluids be used.

Disposable napkins and similar bulky items must not be put into chemical closet emptying points but should be wrapped in a polythene bag and placed in the container provided.

Place all litter in containers marked for the purpose.

Noise

Do not make excessive noise.

Children should be restrained from making excessive noise.

Flying kites and model aircraft and the use of items like catapults or air-guns, as well as ball games, should not be permitted among, or close to other vehicles.

Musical instruments, record players, radios and televisions should not be used to the inconvenience of other people on the site.

Open and close doors quietly.

Power generators must be adequately silenced and used with consideration.

Dogs and other Pets

All dogs and other pets should be kept under control.

Unless permission has been granted, no animal should be allowed loose on the site and leads must not exceed 10ft.

No animals should be allowed in the shower/toilet blocks.

Do not let dogs foul the site.

Fire Precautions

Adhere to and take note of fire precautions noting the whereabouts of the fire points.

WARNING: Provide one dry powder fire extinguisher of an approved type or complying with ISO 7165, of at least

1kg capacity, by the main exterior door and a fire blanket next to the cooker.

Familiarise yourself with the operating instructions on your fire extinguisher and the local fire precaution arrangements.

When using a dry powder extinguisher it is suggested that the motorhome be evacuated until the powder has settled, to avoid inhalation.

Unless permission has been granted, barbecues should not be used. If permission is given, consideration should be given to the annoyance that can be caused to other users of the site.

Open fires are not allowed.

Awnings and Tents

Awnings and tents should only be used when permission has been obtained.

When on grass and staying for more than a few days, the ground sheet and/or side flaps of awnings should be periodically raised in order to avoid damage to the ground.

Departure

Leave the pitch clean and tidy.

On leaving, check out with reception paying the required fees.

WILD CAMPING

Camping away from licensed sites, without the permission from the land owner or his agents, is not allowed in the United

Kingdom.

When permission has been granted, all aspects of this Code should be adhered to.

On no account should:

(a) Litter be disposed of other than in the receptacles provided.

(b) Water be allowed to escape from the vehicle.

(c) Chemical toilets be emptied except into the disposal places agreed with the land owner.

(d) Washing or similar be hung outside the vehicle.

PARKING

Motorhomes should only be parked in approved places.

When using the facilities of a motorhome care and consideration should be given to those around them.

DRIVING

When using a motorhome on either the public highway or private roads the Highway

Code should be complied with and full consideration given to other road users.

In the event of a motorhome travelling slowly the driver of the motorhome should, where possible, pull over in order to let other traffic pass.

Motorhome Code

When the vehicle is in motion it is compulsory for all front seat passengers to wear seat belts and strongly recommended for rear seated passengers.

Before moving off, elevated roofs should be lowered and correctly secured, and top hinged windows closed. Likewise all doors and access lockers for gas containers and chemical toilets must be properly secured.

Exterior steps should be properly retracted and secured.

When the vehicle is being refuelled, or on a ferry, all gas systems must be turned off.

HANDBOOK

Before using a motorhome all aspects of the handbooks, produced by the chassis manufacturer and the converter, must be read and adhered to.

ENVIRONMENT

Care and consideration should be taken to protect the environment.

Observe the Country and Coastal Codes shown overleaf.

Motorhome Code

THE COUNTRY CODE

Enjoy the countryside but respect its life and work.

More people than ever before are exploring the countryside, interested in farming, plant life, bird watching or just observing the general wildlife. Whatever your interest, there is a lot to learn, but please observe the following code.

1. Guard against all risk of fires. Hay and heathland catch alight easily and once ablaze are very hard to put out.

REMEMBER: FIRE SPREADS QUICKLY.

2. Keep to the public paths across farmland.

3. Use gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges and walls.

4. Leave livestock, crops and machinery alone. View from a distance.

5. Take your litter home - it is unsightly and harmful to wildlife.

6. Help to keep all water clean.

7. Take special care on country roads.

8. Make no unnecessary noise. Most animals are very timid; noises can disturb them unnecessarily. If you want to get the best out of the country, go quietly.

THE COASTAL CODE

As our coastlines are increasingly used for recreation and education, the following suggestions are made to enable us to enjoy our inheritance and preserve it for posterity.

Disturbance may mean DEATH.

DO NOT trample about, or move rocks unnecessarily.

DO NOT frighten seals or seabirds.

DO NOT spill detergents, solvents or fuel from boats as these can kill marine life.

When sailing, moderate your speed - the wash from a fast boat can destroy banks and nests.

Live molluscs and crustaceans need not be collected as souvenirs - dead shells can usually be found.

Shellfish can take years to grow and fines can be imposed for not observing national regulations.

DO NOT pull up seaweeds unnecessarily.

Make your visit instructive - not destructive.

Look at material - don’t remove it. Take notes and photographs, not specimens.

Observe by-laws and be considerate to others.

National Trust property and Country Parks have regulations to protect the wildlife.

Follow these and the Country and Coastal

Codes.

Preparing for the Road

BEFORE MOVING OFF

Check:

gas cylinders and all gas operated appliances have been isolated, including fridge, water heater, oven and space heater.

loose articles are stowed securely. Do not stow tins, bottles or heavy items in overhead lockers.

all lockers and cupboard doors are closed and secured.

all bunks and ladders are secure. Place

Luton ladder on its side in front of Luton bedboards.

all rooflights are closed and secured.

main table is stored in its transit position.

fridge is on 12V operation and door lock is set.

gas cylinders are correctly positioned, secured and turned off.

battery selection switch is in the OFF position.

tyre pressures and wheel nuts.

rear corner steadies are raised.

all drain taps are closed.

230V mains input socket flap is securely closed.

exterior step (where fitted) is retracted/folded in

Special attention must be taken to ensure all top hinged windows as well as the Luton windows are closed when in transit. All units should be fully closed and latched to prevent damage. The motorhome exterior door should also be locked.

LOADING OF VEHICLE

Correct weight distribution is an important factor in ensuring your vehicle is well balanced and easy to drive. It is therefore necessary to load your motorhome carefully making sure all heavy articles are evenly distributed and are preferably placed in the lower lockers or bed boxes.

Although it is essential to ensure that the total weight of your motorhome does not exceed the stipulated Maximum Technically

Permissible Laden Mass, (M.T.P.L.M.), it is important to remember that the front and rear axles also have individual maximum weights which must not be exceeded.

These weights, together with the M.T.P.L.M., can be found on the chassis manufacturer, the Swift Group or Al-Ko plates affixed to your vehicle under the front edge of the bonnet.

WARNING: Isolate all gas appliances before moving off.

USER PAYLOAD ALLOWANCE

The User Payload (the weight of additional items such as personal effects, essential habitation equipment and optional equipment, etc.) is calculated by deducting the Mass in Running Order (manufacturer’s standard vehicle specification weight) from the Maximum Technically Permissible Laden

Mass (manufacturer’s maximum authorised weight).

NOTICE:

Plese ensure you have allowed for the masses of all the items you intend to carry in your motorhome.

MAXIMUM TECHNICALLY

PERMISSIBLE LADEN MASS

This is the maximum legally allowable weight of the vehicle, fully laden, on the road.

See Specification pages for specific model weights.

ROOF LOADING

A maximum load of 200kgs can be evenly distributed over the roof area. This figure

MUST NOT be exceeded.

The roof areas, up to the over cab section, are capable of withstanding an average person’s weight

(13 stone or 82.5kg).

Note: Do not walk on the over cab section.

Some motorhome roofs can be fitted with a roof rack (optional).

It is permitted to stand inside the roof rack fitted to the roof. The roof section beyond the rack is not designed for walking on.

Note: When loading the roof rack, make sure the load is spread evenly and do not allow sharp objects to come into contact with the roof surface.

WARNING: When walking on the roof rack, deck type shoes should be worn - not leather soles.

TYRES

The law requires that the tyres and pressures must be suitable for the use to which they are being put. The minimum tread depth must be 1.6mm throughout a continuous band comprising the centre three-quarters of the breadth of the tread and around the circumference of the tyre.

Please refer to base vehicle manufacturer's handbook for tyre pressure information. This may also be displayed in the driver's door aperture.

SAFETY &

SECURITY

In Case of Fire ........................................................................ 12

Ventilation ............................................................................... 12

Security ................................................................................... 12

Safety & Security

IMPORTANT: Your attention is drawn to the notice affixed in your motorhome advising you on fire prevention, ventilation and what to do in case of a fire.

FIRE

In case of fire

1. Get everyone out of the motorhome as quickly as possible using whichever exit is quickest including windows. Do not stop to collect any personal items.

2. Raise the alarm. Call the Fire Brigade.

3. Turn off gas supply valve, if safe to do so.

Fire Extinguishers

It is recommended that a 1kg (2lb) minimum capacity dry powder fire extinguisher complying with the requirements of ISO 7165 be carried inside your motorhome at all times and a fire blanket be kept next to the cooker.

A fat pan fire should not have an extinguisher aimed at it but be smothered with a fire blanket.

Children

Do not leave children alone in the motorhome in any event. Keep potentially dangerous items out of reach as at home, e.g. matches, drugs, etc.

Escape Paths

It is important that you do not block escape paths to emergency exits with obstructions or hazards.

12

VENTILATION

All motorhomes are built to EN 721. The ventilation points on your motorhome are fixed points of ventilation which are stated by this standard. Under no circumstances must these vents be blocked or obstructed.

All ventilation levels are calculated to suit each models requirements. There should be no modifications made which may result in reduced ventilation levels.

Ventilation is provided at low level by vents fitted either to the furniture or in the entrance step, and at high level by the roof lights.

It is advised that fixed ventilation points are checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a regular basis with a small brush or a vacuum cleaner.

WARNING: NEVER use portable cooking or heating equipment other than electric heaters that are not of the direct radiant type, as it is a fire and asphyxiation hazard.

NEVER allow modification of electrical or

LPG systems and appliances except by qualified tradesmen at a Swift Group Dealer

In the interests of safety, replacement parts for an appliance should conform to the appliance manufacturer's specification and should be fitted by them or their authorised agent.

Additional night time ventilation is obtained on some windows by releasing the window catches and placing them in the second groove. Note the windows are not sealed from rain in this position.

WARNING: Do not obstruct ventilation

SECURITY

Motorhome Theft

The theft of a motorhome can occur in the most unlikely circumstances; from a motorway service area or even an owner’s driveway.

Secure all windows and doors when your motorhome is unoccupied even if only for a short length of time.

Chassis number

Record your motorhome chassis number, which can be found under the bonnet, and the body conversion serial number.

Make a note of these numbers in the space provided at the rear of this handbook and make a separate note of the numbers to keep safe at home.

Additional security

Window etching of the chassis number is a cost effective deterrent.

Free crime prevention advice about securing your motorhome, protecting your valuables, property marking either at home or whilst on site, can be obtained from the Crime

Prevention Officer through your local Police station.

ARRIVAL

AT SITE

Positioning the Motorhome .................................................. 14

Arrival at Site

Note: Check and observe site regulations.

POSITIONING THE MOTORHOME

Keep to roadways unless otherwise directed.

Adhere to speed limits. Note that these are generally 10mph.

(Remember that the stopping distance on grass is considerably greater than on tarmac.)

Only a person in possession of a current driving licence may drive on the site.

Selecting a pitch

Do not pitch in such a position that your motorcaravan will obstruct others coming in.

Try to choose an area which is dry, reasonably level and preferably with a hard base.

If you have no alternative but to pitch on a slope try to ensure that you are facing down the slope, for when you leave.

Levelling the motorhome

Levelling must be carried out in both directions for the refrigerator and other equipment to function correctly. Stepped levelling boards (Fig. B) or proprietary ramps are ideal for this purpose.

Fig. A Winding the Corner Steady

Lower the rear corner steadies (if fitted) until they are in firm contact with the ground

(Fig. A). DO NOT use the steadies as a jack, they are only a means of stabilising the rear of the motorhome. Levelling pads or boards should be used under the steadies where the ground is soft or uneven.

Fig. B Stepped Leveling Board

Awnings and Tents

Awnings and tents should only be used when permission has been obtained. When on grass and staying for more than a few days the ground sheet and/or side flaps of awnings should be periodically raised in order to avoid damage to the ground.

Connecting Services

Connection of services are dealt with under separate headings. In all cases become familiar with manufacturers’ instructions.

Before making connections of any description to the motorhome ensure

ALL equipment is turned off.

WATER SYSTEM

Fresh water system

(i) All fittings, including the holding tank, water pipes, taps and connections are of food quality material (to BS6920) and therefore, should not affect the quality of the water used. It is recommended however, that the system is flushed through twice before it is used for the first time, and always cleaned/flushed after it has stood unused for a period of time (eg over the winter period). Care has been taken (using smooth bore pipes etc) to eliminate as many water traps as possible.

(ii) When filling the fresh water system remember to check that the water source is suitable for use as drinking water and, if you are using a hosepipe or water carrier, that it is also made from nontoxic materials (preferably food quality material).

GAS BOTTLE

LOCKER

SITE MAINS

INPUT SOCKET

(iii) The fresh water tank may be drained via a small tap located next to the water tank or via any one of the sink/shower taps through the normal waste water system.

(iv) The fresh water system is pressurised by a pump which will continue to operate until it senses a pre-set pressure in the system.

Water Filler Inlet

WARNING:

If the fresh water tank is completely empty the pump will be unable to pressurise the system and will operate continuously. In this situation it is essential that, in order to avoid damage to the pump, it is switched off using the pump isolator switch on the KT9M5 distribution panel until such time as the water tank has been filled.

16

Waste water system

(i) The waste water holding tank is secured underneath the chassis of your motorhome and is gravity fed.

(ii) In order to eliminate, as much as possible, unpleasant odours, only smooth bore pipes are used. These are fitted with waste traps under the floor which should be cleaned periodically by unscrewing the lid and flushing with clean water. However, should the waste water tank be overfilled, then the waste water will backfill the drain pipes until it eventually appears in the shower base. In order to prevent this, please take note of part (iii).

(iii) The waste water gauge only shows when the tank is full, not progressively and it is, therefore, recommended that the waste water tank is emptied on a daily basis. This is done by opening the valve located just beneath the side or

Connecting Services rear panel on the exterior of the motorhome. It should be emptied either directly, or via a waste water container

(not supplied) into a designated waste water area.

Fresh Water Tank

Your motorhome is fitted with a water tank filled from the outside via a lockable water filler cap. When filling, use a hose manufactured from non toxic material, to prevent tainting of the water. Remember, if the water heater has been drained it will require two gallons of water to fill it. To do this open all hot water taps (except shower) until water comes from the taps. Top up fresh water tank after priming the water system.

Please ensure all taps are fully turned off when not in use.

We recommend the use of Milton 2 sterilising fluid for cleaning and sterilising the water tank and system.

GAS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Gas Bottles

Bottled Liquidified Petroleum Gas (L.P.G.) is the most convenient portable source of fuel for your motorhome.

Make sure that heating, cooking appliances and gas cylinders are switched off before you move the motorhome.

Regularly check flexible gas hose, joints and connections for tightness. Finally make sure that each gas appliance is working efficiently to the recommendations of the appliance manufacturers.

The gas bottle locker on your motorhome is designed to accommodate 4.5kg, 7kg or

15kg Butane or 6kg or 13kg Propane cylinders.

The regulator

The regulator (Fig. A) is a governing device which adapts the bottle pressure to one that suits the equipment in the motorhome.

WARNING: Some industrial LPG appliances operate at high pressure and require a ‘high pressure’ regulator. This often has an adjusting handle on it.

NEVER use such a regulator on a motorhome.

Fig. A Gas Regulators

Note: Regulator valves should always be turned to the “OFF” position whilst the motorhome is being driven.

Propane and Butane gas regulators are not interchangeable.

Hoses

Hoses should be made from Neoprene and should conform to BS 3212. Rubber hosing should never be used. It is good practice to replace hoses annually and in any case no later than the expiration date marked on the hose. An approved hose clip is a worthwhile addition to prevent accidental removal of the hose.

TYPES OF GAS

Butane

Butane is supplied in the U.K. in green, blue or aluminium bottles.

All these have a male left hand thread

EXCEPT for Camping Gaz which has a special female right hand thread and Calor,

4.5kg, 7kg & 15kg, aluminium and 33lb/15kg bottles which have a special clip-on connection.

Continental bottles usually have a male left hand thread similar to but not identical with

U.K. Butane.

Butane is suitable for use at temperatures down to 2˚C but will not work below that.

Propane

Propane is supplied in red, or partly red bottles which have a female left hand threaded connector.

Scandinavian countries use the same connector.

Germany and Austria supply Propane with a male connection.

Propane will work at temperatures as low as

-40˚C and is therefore suitable for all winter motor caravanning.

GAS SAFETY ADVICE

Facts about LPG

LPG is not poisonous.

Bi-products are harmless.

There is danger if all air and oxygen are excluded.

(Ventilation holes must be kept clear at all times).

LPG has been given a smell by the manufacturers in order to identify leaks.

Awning Spaces LPG Appliance Exhaust

There is no danger of pollution of an enclosed awning space by the LPG exhaust from a refrigerator venting into it.

Space heaters may produce sufficient exhaust to pollute the awning space, if it is totally enclosed, from a general comfort, smell and hygiene point of view. In extreme cases there could be a build up of carbon dioxide to a dangerous level.

Motorhome owners are advised to allow some fresh air circulation in the awning space when such appliances are in use.

PRECAUTIONS a) Never look for a leak with a match.

Always use a soap solution or its equivalent when testing connections.

Do not operate any electrical apparatus whatsoever, especially light switches.

20

If the leak is not obvious, the motorhome should be evacuated and qualified personnel consulted.

b) Avoid naked lights when connecting or changing a cylinder.

c) Check the flexible hose frequently.

d) Gas is heavier than air and therefore sinks to the lowest point.

e) Keep bottle gas containers outside (and protected against frost). If they must be kept inside make sure they are well away from heat.

WARNING: If you smell gas or suspect a leak and if it is safe to do so, isolate the gas appliances and turn off the gas bottles at the regulator. Evacuate the motorhome and ventilate the vehicle.

Seek professional advice as to the cause of the leak.

WARNING: Inspect flexible gas hose regularly for deterioration and renew as necessary, with the approved type, in any case not later than the expiry date marked on the hose. Flexible gas hose length should not exceed 400mm.

Ventilation

Vents should not be obstructed in any manner as this could lead to insufficient fresh air. In this case the confined atmosphere becomes depleted of oxygen which leads to the formation of the highly poisonous gas ‘carbon monoxide’. Carbon

Monoxide is odourless, colourless and tasteless and will rapidly cause unconsciousness and death with little or no warning prior to collapse.

THERE IS NO DANGER WHEN ADEQUATE

VENTILATION IS PROVIDED.

Roof-mounted Flue Installations

All flue installations should be inspected once a year throughout their length for corrosion. Flues should be replaced if any sign of perforation is found. Ensure that the replacement is of an approved type.

Connection

Ensure that the gas regulator is correctly connected to the gas cylinder in the gas bottle compartment and that the hose is tight. Before turning on the gas supply, ensure that all gas operated equipment in the motorhome is turned off.

Gas Tap Colours

All gas equipment is supplied through a gas manifold system which has individual isolation taps for each appliance as follows:

Red Water Heater

White Space Heater

Green Hob & Oven (combination)

Green Hob (separate)

Yellow Oven (separate)

Blue Fridge

ELECTRICITY

As with electricity in the home, care must be exercised when handling mains electricity.

Your attention is drawn to the following notice as laid down by the Institute of

Electrical Engineers.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRICITY

SUPPLY

On arrival at site

1. Before connecting the motorhome installation to the mains supply, check that:

(a) the mains supply is suitable for your installation and appliances, i.e. whether it is a.c. or d.c. and whether it is at the correct voltage and frequency, and

(b) your installation will be properly earthed. Never accept a supply from a socket outlet or plug having only two pins, or from a lighting outlet.

(c) any residual current device (earth leakage circuit breaker) in the mains supply to the motorhome has been tested within the last month.

In case of doubt, consult the site owner or his agent.

Connecting Services

2. MAKE SURE THAT THE SWITCH AT THE

SITE SUPPLY POINT IS OFF.

3. Lift the cover of the electricity inlet provided on the motorhome, and insert the connector of the supply flexible cable.

4. Remove any cover from the socket outlet provided at the site supply point, and connect the plug at the other end of the supply flexible cable to this. Switch on the main switch at the site supply point.

On leaving site

5. Switch off the main switch at the site supply point and remove the flexible cable connector replacing any cover fitted.

6. Disconnect the flexible cable from the motorhome.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE MAIN

SWITCH AT THE SITE SUPPLY POINT

SHOULD BE SWITCHED OFF, THE SUPPLY

FLEXIBLE CABLE DISCONNECTED, AND

ANY COVER REPLACED ON THE SOCKET

OUTLET AT THE SITE SUPPLY POINT

BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE FLEXIBLE

CABLE FROM THE MOTORHOME. IT IS

DANGEROUS TO LEAVE THE SUPPLY

SOCKET OR SUPPLY FLEXIBLE CABLE

LIVE.

21

Connecting Services

For motorhomes that are generally left unused for long periods in the open it is strongly advised that the mains installation is inspected periodically to ensure that it is safe to use. The IEE Wiring Regulations recommend that mains installations in motorhomes are re-inspected every 3 years.

An annual inspection by a qualified person is recommended (see list below) who should sign and issue a periodic inspection report.

Suitably qualified persons acceptable to the

SMMT/NCC to sign and issue Inspection and Completion Certificates should be one of the following:

• An approved contractor of the National

Inspection Council for Electrical

Installation Contracting* or

• A member of the Electrical Contractors’

Association of Scotland

• A qualified person acting on behalf of the above (in which event it should be stated for whom he is acting).

OVERSEAS CONNECTION

Note: Connection to a mains voltage supply

OVERSEAS requires particular attention.

Care must be taken when connecting supplies abroad since the supplies can be of

REVERSE POLARITY.

The significance of REVERSE POLARITY is that when equipment is switched off it may not be electrically isolated.

The only certain way of making equipment safe is to unplug it.

If electrical polarity indication is not included in your motorhome electrical equipment, it is useful to have a means of checking polarity of the mains supply, especially when touring overseas.

There are available several proprietary makes of equipment for the purpose.

If it can be achieved, it is preferable to connect live to live, and neutral to neutral to maintain full electrical protection.

CHECK all motorhome equipment is set-up to accept the site supply before actually switching on.

EQUIPMENT POWER

CONSUMPTION

Please note:

It is possible that the 230V mains electrical equipment may not all operate simultaneously. A typical UK motorhome site mains hook up point provides a maximum output of 10 amps and on some continental sites the available output may be as low as 5 amps. If your loading exceeds the site supply it may trip the site circuit breaker.

MOTORHOME BATTERY

It is recommended that a good quality leisure battery is always in circuit when the system is in use.

A deep cycling heavy duty 12V battery should be used to provide power for lights and other electrical appliances. A proprietary brand leisure battery with 75A capacity is recommended. (It must have tube venting capability for internal battery boxes.)

It should be remembered that batteries suitable for the electrical demands of a motorhome differ in design from those for use with a car, and whilst the system may operate with a car battery, it is strongly recommended that only a leisure type battery, maintained in good condition is used.

The battery should be vented to the outside and should be properly secured. When connecting the battery, ensure that the correct polarity is observed (black is negative and red is positive), and that the terminals are securely fastened.

Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary to remove the battery other than for routine inspection of terminals.

WARNING: Explosive gases may be present at battery - prevent flames and sparks.

Do not store highly flammable materials or pressurised containers in this area.

WARNING: Smoking is prohibited around the battery compartment

Your motorhome has been fitted with an inline fuse next to the + battery terminal. It is recommended that the rating of the fuse fitted in this location does not exceed 20A.

Please note the leisure battery, where factory fitted, is not charged and should be charged for a minimum of 24 hours before use.

When fitting the battery, ensure that the correct polarity is observed and that terminals are securely fastened.

Ensure the battery is secured with the strap provided.

FAULT FINDING

1. Mains supply

If mains supply is not available when mains switch and MCB’s are switched on, check supply at site distribution and/or mains lead and connections.

2. Earth faults or MCB tripped

See RCD/MCD Section.

3. Charger switch fails to illuminate

Check mains supply as for No.1 and 2.

4. Battery discharged or not charging with charger on

Check battery terminals.

5. 12V distribution circuit failure

Check and replace relevant DC output fuse as required.

6. Consult the manufacturers regarding any further difficulties, in particular those related to mains voltage section.

7. There are no user-serviceable or replacement parts in the PMS. All service of this nature should be referred to the manufacturers.

Note: Never use a mains supply lead whilst coiled. Always uncoil the full length before connecting to the supply and remember to protect the cable from traffic.

MAINS UNIT (CEC 225)

This acts as the main switch for the motorhome allowing isolation of all circuits. It forms part of the Power System along with the KT12SM Transformer/Charger Unit (if fitted).

The mains unit replaces the conventional fusebox. Similar, but larger ones are often fitted in new houses.

The unit gives both overload (MCBs) and earth leakage protection (RCD) for the electrical supply in your motorhome.

For normal operation all switches on the unit need to be in the ON position. The switches on the left of the unit are known as MCBs

(miniature circuit breakers).

These take the place of the conventional fuse but are more convenient.

Note: Having too many appliances switched on at the same time will trip the MCBs. This is a safety measure. (For appliance ratings, see mains consumption, below).

In the event of a fault the MCB ‘trips’ i.e.

automatically moves to the OFF position.

After elimination of the fault the MCB can be re-set by switching to the ON position,

(against the spring pressure in an upwards direction).

M.C.B

Test

Button

Mains

Switch

If an earth fault develops or a person touches a live piece of equipment the leakage of current to earth should immediately operate the RCD (residual current device) and ‘trip’ the main switch, to the OFF position.

This switch is only re-settable after elimination of the fault.

To re-set, operate the switch as for MCB’s.

Periodically the RCD should be checked by operating the test button marked ‘T’. The unit should immediately switch to the OFF position. If the unit does not switch off then a qualified electrician should be consulted.

If the unit does switch off, the test is complete and the switch can be re-set restoring the supply back to normal.

Add together the current ratings for each electrical appliance you wish to use simultaneously and ensure the total does not exceed 10A. You will find the following table a useful guide to typical values.

12V POWER SYSTEM

Note: The connection of the battery charger to the mains supply is in accordance with the

Regulations for Electrical Installations 16th

Edition (IEE Wiring Regulations) BS 7671:

1992.

The Power System is supplied fitted remotely in a convenient position and comprises:

(a) Mains Unit (CEC 225)

(b) Transformer/Charger Unit KT12SM

TRANSFORMER/CHARGER UNIT

KT12SM

The KT12SM transformer/charger unit has important safety features:

• Overload protection

• Short circuit protection

• Reverse battery polarity protection

The unit has been designed not only to operate as a battery charger, but also for use as a power supply, should a 12V DC battery not be present in circuit. It is, however, recommended that a good quality leisure battery is installed.

Once connected to a 230V mains supply and switched on, its operation is fully automatic.

Charger

On/Off

Switch

Fuses

KT12SM

To charge either battery, position the battery selector switch to the appropriate position

(See KT9M5, page 33).

When used as an alternative DC power supply, with no battery in circuit, the KT12SM will supply a suitable output for use with pump, lighting, T.V., radio etc. Should the unit become overloaded the 12A DC fuse will blow. Removal of the overload or fault allows the unit to return to normal operation, after replacing the DC fuse. A 1A anti-surge AC fuse is provided as further protection.

Under normal circumstances the total load required by motorhome equipment should not produce an overload situation.

The facility for drawing 12V supply from the cab battery is intended for standby situations only, and care should be taken not to run the cab battery too low.

If the cab battery has been used on site, then the engine driven alternator will recharge both it and the caravan battery whilst travelling.

However, once the cab battery is fully charged, the alternator will supply a trickle charge only to the caravan battery.

This will take place regardless of the position of the battery selector switch on the KT9M5 distribution panel.

KT9M5 DISTRIBUTION PANEL

The 12V distribution panels have the following facilities:

1. Battery Condition Indicator

2. Battery Selector Switch

3. Water Level Indicator

4. Water Level Selector Switch

5. Pump Isolation Switch

OPERATION

Battery Condition Indicator and Selector

Switch

1. Select supply from either MOTORHOME

AUXILIARY or CAB battery by use of the

3 position switch.

2. Switch 230V charger off. Check that the meter-needle moves into the yellow or green sectors of the scale, indicating satisfactory state of battery charge. Red sector indicates charging is required.

12V DC power is now distributed to all circuits.

If the central OFF position is selected, both

MOTORHOME AUXILIARY and CAB battery supplies are switched off. If however, mains supply is connected, a 12V supply will still be available direct from the transformer/charger unit.

KT9M5

Water Level Indicator and Selector Switch

1. Select supply from either MOTORHOME

AUXILIARY or CAB battery by use of the 3 position switch.

2. Move the water level selector switch to the right or down to obtain a reading on the level indicator of the contents of the waste water tank (when fitted). The gauge only shows when the tank is full.

3. Move the selector switch to the left or up to obtain a reading of the contents of the fresh water tank.

4. The central OFF position isolates both water level sensors, and no reading will be shown on the indicator.

FUSES

Each 12V circuit is protected by a blade fuse of the appropriate rating. These fuses can be found in the PMS4 unit or in the fuse-block in the wardrobe. The refrigerator fuse is mounted under the bonnet in all models.

If it is necessary to replace a fuse the current rating, which is marked on the fuse end cap, must be STRICTLY observed.

Should a replacement fuse blow immediately after fitting, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should it be replaced again without first investigating the cause of the problem.

WARNING: Do not start your motorhome engine if the mains supply is connected. If the engine is started with

KT12SM/PMS4 switched on and the

KT9M5 switched to CAB then the output fuse will blow on the KT12SM/PMS4.

Electrical Systems

GENERATOR GUIDELINES

• Lack of regular servicing can be the cause of most generator problems, gensets under 2kW are mainly dependent on engine speed for output frequency and voltage. Poor or no servicing may cause the engine speed governor to run the genset engine too fast. Therefore, frequency and output voltage can rise above the specification of the machine data plate i.e. 230V at 50Hz. This may cause damage to electrical/electronic equipment (such as battery chargers).

• A generator should always run for a few minutes prior to connection with the motorhome electrics, to allow it to warm up and the output to settle to a steady level.

• The AC output of generators is often derived from an AC alternator, rectified to

DC then inverted back to AC. In essence this means the output sinewave may not be very smooth and may not run sophisticated electronics efficiently. Some of the new wave of gensets are more sophisticated in their production of a sinewave output and are more suited to run electronic equipment.

• If in doubt consult your genset dealer or manufacturer for advice.

1. Disconnect power for water pump (main switch or pump switch).

2. Open hot water taps in bathroom and kitchen.

3. Open safety/drain valve in vertical position, position (f).

4. The water heater is now drained directly to the outside via the safety/drain valve.

Check that the water contents have been completely drained (10/14 litres)

Maintenance

Use wine vinegar for de-scaling the water heater, this being introduced into the appliance via the water supply. Allow the product to react and then thoroughly flush out the appliance with plenty of fresh water.

To sterilise the water we recommend

"Certsil-Argento". Other products, particularly those containing chlorine, are unsuitable.

Note: The water tank in the Truma Ultrastore is of high quality food-grain stainless steel.

The special equipment available, elbow water hose connections and safety/drain valve, fulfil the EC guidelines for quality in plastic parts (90/396/EEC).

In order to prevent the formation of microorganisms, we recommend heating up the tank at regular intervals to 70°C and not using the water for drinking.

Important Operating Notes

1. If the cowl is positioned close to an opening hatch (window), keep this closed during operation. See warning plate.

Always mount the cowl cover if the heater is not being used. Non-observation of this point can lead to the function of the appliance being impaired through water, dirt or insects.

2. The guarantee will be invalidated if this point is not observed. Always remove the cowl cover prior to operating the water heater!

3. If there is a defect in the electronics, return the control Printed Circuit Board well padded. If you fail to pack it correctly the guarantee will be invalidated. Only use original Truma

Ultrastore control P.C.B's as spare parts.

4. If just the cold water system is being used, without water heating, the header tank becomes more vulnerable to frost damage. Accordingly the contents should be drained by operating the safety/drain valve. This also applies when the motorhome is in storage.

General Safety Notes

In the event of leaks in the gas system or if there is a smell of gas:

• Extinguish all naked flames

• Do not smoke

• Switch off the appliance and gas cylinder

• Open the windows

• Do not operate any electrical switches

• Have the entire system checked by an expert

1. Repair jobs are only to be carried out by an expert.

2. The following would invalidate the guarantee: a. Any alteration to the appliance

(including cowl) b. The use of non-Truma spare parts/accessories c. Non observance of the operating instructions.

34

Equipment Details

3. The operating pressure for the gas supply is 30mbar (or 28mbar butane/37mbar propane) and must correspond to the operating pressure of the appliance (see name plate).

4. Do not operate the water heater when refuelling the vehicle and when in the garage.

5. During the initial operation of a brand new appliance (or after it has not been used for some time), a certain amount of fumes, and a slight smell, may be noticed for a short time. Remedial action is to immediately run the heater at maximum output and to ensure adequate room ventilation.

6. If the burner makes an unusual noise or if the flame lifts off, it is likely that the regulator is faulty and it is essential to have it checked.

REFRIGERATORS

Before using your refrigerator for the first time, it is advisable to wash the interior and its accessories.

When using the refrigerator on gas ensure that the gas isolation tap is fully open by turning the knob to the vertical position. The tap is located inside the sink unit at floor height. When travelling the fridge can only be operated in the 12V mode.

Note:

Before operating the refrigerator on 12V, it should be pre-cooled, together with its contents, by running it on gas or 230V for a few hours before changing over to 12V for your journey.

The current drain is approximately 7A to 14A

(model specific) and power is only available when the ignition circuit is switched on. On site, only the mains electric or gas modes should be used.

The refrigerator can run on either 230V, 12V or LP gas. Changing between these modes of operation is carried out by means of the controls on the control panel.

Caution: Only use one source of energy at a time.

After initial installation, servicing or changing gas cylinders etc., the gas lines may contain some air which should be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or other appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.

The flame failure device will automatically shut off the gas to the burner if the flame is blown out. On electric ignition versions, the flame failure device will also shut off the gas if the burner does not re-light within about a minute of the flame being blown out.

STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR

LP Gas Operation

Open the shut off valve of the gas bottle

(check there is enough gas). Open any on board shut off valve.

For models with automatic ignition

1. Set the energy selector switch (A) to gas

2. Press and hold rotary thermostat switch (B)

3. The ignition process is activated automatically, accompanied by a ticking sound; the indicator lamp (C) will flash.

Upon successful ignition, the sound and flashing will stop.

4. Keep rotary switch (B) depressed for another 10-15 seconds, then release.

5. If there is an inspection glass, check to see that the flame is burning.

6. If the flame goes out the ignition system will repeat the ignition process automatically.

8. Adjust the temperature in the main refrigerator compartment using rotary switch (B)

Note:

The fridge must exclusively be operated using liquid gas (propane and butane)

All refrigerators are equipped with automatic flame protection, which automatically cuts off the gas supply 30 seconds after the flame goes out.

When using for the first time or after changing the gas cylinder, the gas pipes may contain air. By means of brief operation of the refrigerator and any other gas appliance (eg cooker) air is removed from the gas pipes. The gas will then ignite without delay.

Main 230V Operation

Note:

The operation may only be selected where the supply voltage of the connection for the power supply corresponds to the value specific on the data plate. Any difference in values may result in damage to the applicance.

1. Set the energy selector switch (A) to

2. Use rotary switch (B) to regulate the temperature in the main refrigerator compartment.

12V Operation

Your refrigerator will only operate on 12V when the engine of the vehicle is running.

1. Set the energy selector switch (A) to

The refrigerator will run continuously without thermostatic control.

WARNING:

When in transit, your refrigerator should be run on 12V and NOT on gas.

WINTER OPERATION (ALL MODELS)

Please check that ventilation grilles or the flue outlet are not blocked.

Ventilation grille covers are available from

Electrolux and can be fitted to protect the unit against very cold air. These covers should be fitted when the temperature is below 10°C and when the motorhome is laid up during winter months.

Equipment Details

MODEL RM4505

The model RM4505 is a 135 litre refrigerator with a separate 25 litre frozen food compartment.

This refrigerator is equipped with an

Automatic Energy Selector (AES) which controls its operation and energy supply.

The system selects the available energy source in the order: 230V - 12V - LP gas.

No manual operation is necessary for selecting the energy source.

A C B

RM4505 E D

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The refrigerator is set into operation by pushing button (A) (main switch). The AES

LED (C) lights green showing that the AES system is working. Push-button (B) is used for setting the electronic thermostat. The thermostat LEDs (D) show the chosen temperature position. When there is a demand for refrigeration, AES will connect the most favourable of the available energy sources.

Note: 12V must always be available to supply the electronics.

40

STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR

LP Gas Operation

AES will select LP gas operation under the following conditions:

• No AC (230V) available

• Engine not running (no high current at

12V DC available)

• AC available but too low

• Engine running but DC supply too low

(condition three and four are briefly described in item Undervoltage Operation over the page)

When the system chooses LP Gas operation, the flame failure device is automatically opened, allowing the gas to flow to the burner. At the same time, the electronic igniter is energised.

After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes may contain some air which should be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or other appliances. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.

If the flame goes out (by gust of wind etc.), the igniter is immediately activated and reignites the gas.

Note: The control electronics and the igniter must have a DC (battery) supply to operate.

Gas trouble-shooting

If the AES LED (C) is flashing red, the system was not able to start or continue gas operation. Set the switch (A) to OFF and check that there is enough gas in the gas bottle, that its valve is open and that any valves in the gas line to the refrigerator are open.

Push button (A) to "ON" again. After 10 sec.

AES will repeat the ignition sequence. If the

AES LED (C) again starts flashing red after

30 sec., the problem persists (air in the line, no gas?). Switch (A) briefly off and then on again. It might be necessary to repeat this operation 2-3 times if the tubing contains air

(after changing gas bottles, repairs etc.).

If this does not help, you should consult a service technician.

230V Operation

When a mains connection is available, AES will select this. Please note, that even being in AC mode, 12V DC is necessary for the internal supply of the electronics.

12V Operation

AES will select the 12V mode of operation only when the vehicle engine is running

(detected by the alternator connection of the fridge D+).

Equipment Details

SWITCHING BETWEEN ENERGY

SOURCES

When switching from one energy source to another, there are some delays implemented in the AES system. The 15 min. delay between switching off the engine and starting gas mode is intended to delay the starting of gas mode e.g. when stopping at a filling station.

WARNING: It is not allowed to have a naked flame at a gas filling station. If you are not sure that your stop is shorter than 15 min., you are advised to switch off the main switch (A), when stopping at a filling station.

UNDERVOLTAGE OPERATION

The AES system is designed to guarantee the maximum cooling efficiency under any circumstance. The system continuously monitors the voltage level while in either 12V

DC or 230V AC mode. If the voltage is too low, the system switches to gas mode shown by the yellow LED (E). The system stays in gas mode, until the electrical supply voltage has recovered to normal level.

REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE

It will take a few hours for the refrigerator to reach normal operating temperature. So we suggest you start it well in advance of a trip and if possible store it with precooled foodstuffs.

The temperature of the refrigerator main compartment is set for all three sources of energy, by means of the thermostat knob (B).

After turning on the refrigerator the system automatically chooses the mid-position. With some experience you will soon find a suitable setting. This does not normally need resetting as the same thermostat controls the main compartment temperature for all three sources of energy.

TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR

If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:

1. Set the switch (A), to "OFF".

2. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the refrigerator.

3. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as described earlier. Leave the doors of the refrigerator and frozen food compartment ajar.

4. When the vehicle is laid up for a long period of time (e.g. during the winter months), we suggest fitting the winter covers on to the grills.

IF THE REFRIGERATOR FAILS TO WORK

Check the following points before calling a service technician:

1. That the green AES LED goes on when the switch (A) is set to "ON" (12V must be available).

2. When mains are connected but the refrigerator stays in gas operation check the refrigerator is correctly connected and the fuse (230V) is intact.

3. Is the 12V fuse intact?

4. Disconnect the wall plug, and the 12V wires before servicing.

Check the fuses on the circuit board, (under the black cover at the top of the refrigerator and behind the control panel).

Remove the two screws holding the control panel, pull out the control panel with its electronics. Remove the cover and check the fuses.

5. In transit, if the refrigerator does not operate in DC mode check the alternator

(D+) is correctly connected.

6. If the AES LED (C) flashes red, see chapter Gas trouble-shooting.

If the refrigerator is not cold enough it may be because:

1. The ventilation is inadequate owing to reduced area of the ventilation passages

(partial blockage of grilles from wire mesh etc.).

2. The evaporator is frosted up.

3. The temperature control setting is incorrect.

4. The gas pressure is incorrect - check the pressure regulator at the gas container.

41

Equipment Details

5. The ambient temperature is too high.

6. Too much food is loaded at one time.

7. The door is not properly closed or the magnetic sealing strip is defective.

If the refrigerator still does not work properly, call a service technician.

60

In the event of faults, always contact the

Truma Service Centre, Tel.: 01283 511092

Important operating notes

1. If the cowl is positioned in the direct vicinity of an opening window ( or hatch), this window must remain closed during the operation of the appliance (see warning plate).

2. The integrity and tight fit of the exhaust gas double duct must be checked regularly, particularly at the end of long trips. Also check the mounting of the appliance and the cowl.

3. Following a blow-back (misfire) always have the exhaust gas system checked by an expert!

4. If appliances are assembled on the outside of the vehicle, regularly check the flexible air ducts for damage. A damaged duct could lead to exhaust gas entering the vehicle.

5. Always keep the cowl for conducting exhaust gas and supplying combustion air, free from contamination (slush, leaves etc.).

6. The installed temperature limiter shuts off the gas supply if the appliance becomes too hot. Therefore, do not shut the warm air outlets and the opening for the returning circulating air.

7. If the electronic control p.c.b. is defective, return it well packed. If you fail to do so, guarantee claims shall no longer be valid.

Only use original p.c.b. as a spare part!

The vehicle owner is the person responsible for arranging the inspection and the replacing of the parts.

8. For conducting the exhaust gas under the floor, the vehicle floor must be sealed tight. There must also be three open sides beneath the vehicle floor to ensure unhindered escape of the exhaust gas

(snow, aprons etc.).

9. Always mount the cover cap for the wall cowl when the appliance is not being used. This applies in particular when washing the vehicle and for boats.

General safety notes

If the gas system is leaking or if there is a smell of gas:

• extinguish all naked flames

• do not smoke

• switch off the appliances

• shut off the gas cylinder

• open the windows

• do not actuate any electrical systems

• have the entire system checked by an expert.

1. Repairs may only be carried out by an expert.

Equipment Details

Attention: A new O-ring must always be installed after dismantling the exhaust duct.

2. Any alteration to the appliance (including the exhaust duct and cowl) or the use of spare parts and accessories which are important to the function of the heater and which are not original Truma parts, as well as the non-observance of the installation and operating instructions, will lead to the cancelling of the guarantee and exclusion of liability claims. It also becomes illegal to use the appliance, and in some countries this even makes it illegal to use the vehicle.

3. The operating pressure for the gas supply is 30 mbar (or 28 mbar butane/37 mbar propane) and must correspond to the operating pressure of the appliance (see name plate).

4. The respectively valid regulations must be observed. For you own safety it is absolutely necessary to have the complete gas installation regularly checked by an expert (every 2 years at the latest).

5. Do not operate the appliance when refuelling the vehicle and when in the garage.

6. During the initial operation of a brand new appliance (or after it has not been used for some time), a slight amount of fumes and smell may be noticed for a short while. This can be remedied by running the heater at maximum output and ensuring adequate room ventilation.

7. If the burner makes an unusual noise or if the flame lifts off, it is likely that the regulator is faulty and it is essential to have it checked.

Always connect the pressure regulators to the gas cylinders by hand, taking great care!.

For temperatures around O°C and below, the regulators should be operated with a defroster system (Eis-Ex). Inspect regulator connection hoses regularly for signs of weakness. For winter operation only use special frost resistant hoses. Gas cylinders must always be upright!

If the pressure regulator is exposed to weather conditions - especially on trucks always make sure to protect the regulator using the Truma protective cover (standard accessory in truck attachment kit).

TRUMATIC C 3400/C 6000

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Attention: If the heater is not being used, always drain the water contents if there is a risk of frost. There shall be no claims under guarantee for damage caused by frost!

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

The Trumatic C heater is operated with a burner with fan assistance.

In winter operation the appliance automatically selects the most favourable burner level corresponding to the temperature difference between the temperature setting and the actual room temperature. Model C 6000 has three power levels (2000, 4000 and 6000 W).

Model C 3400 has two power levels (2000,

3400 W) Water filled in the storage water heater is automatically heated as well.

In summer operation the water is heated at the lowest burner level. When the water temperature of 60° or 40° is reached the burner switches off and the yellow indicator lamp goes out.

In the standard models operation is also possible without water contents. In the special version with electric heating 230V the appliance is only to be operated in the

“Summer operation” with water (this applies to both gas and electrical operation).

If only the cold water system is being operated, without using the water heater, the heater tank also fills up with water. In order to avoid damage by frost, the water contents must be drained by operating the safety/drain valve, also when the water heater has not been used. As an alternative, a shut-off valve (resistant to hot water) can be installed upstream of the cold and hot water connection.

Attention: The water tank lining is food proof. However, we do not recommend using the water as drinking water!

Motorhome Care

MODIFICATIONS - DIY WORK

Owners need to be aware that carrying out

DIY modifications to your motorhome may in certain instances, invalidate the warranty cover and could also affect the safety and structure of the motorhome.

Before carrying out any DIY work within the warranty period (3/5) years please check with your nearest Swift Group dealer or contact Supercare customer services on

01482 875740 for advice.

WARNING: Overzealous use of detergents may loosen the decals and/or badges.

WARNING: Care should be taken as the silicon in some polishes can attack the rubber used on the exterior for seals and gaskets.

MOTORHOME EXTERIOR

PAINTWORK

The exterior of your coachbuilt motorhome is finished with glass reinforced plastic (GRP) which is very durable and easy to clean owing to its smooth finish. GRP is now used extensively in modern motorhome construction and if cared for properly will enhance the appearance of your vehicle. To maintain a showroom finish wash the motorhome regularly with a mild detergent, rinse with cold water and leather off. A good quality, silicon free car wax may be applied which will make washing even easier.

Under no circumstances use any abrasive cleaning agents on the exterior of your motorhome. Stubborn stains may be removed by using a soft cloth and a mild detergent.

72

MOULDINGS

Some mouldings are anodised aluminium and will retain their lustre for a long period if no abrasive materials are used to clean them. If your motorhome is subjected to constant changes of temperature, mastic may seep from joints between the mouldings. Any excess that appears can be removed by simply wiping with a soft cloth.

WARNING: Do not wash motorhome with a high pressure washer. These can cause permanent damage to the seals of your motorhome.

ACRYLIC WINDOWS

The windows in your motorhome are fully double glazed and with care will remain sparkling and scratch-free.

Keeping your acrylic windows sparkling:

Small Scratches: For small scratches use a liquid metal polish or a proprietary acrylic polish of a suitable grade dependent upon the severity of the scratches.

Cleaning: Wash down as you would your car. Do not use a sponge on dirty windows.

When all dirt has been removed, dry with a leather or similar type cloth. The catches and stays do not require lubricating.

Removing Tar: Use a proprietary tar remover on your double glazed windows, it is obtainable from most leading car accessory or Do-It-Yourself shops.

Do not use petrol or other chemicals.

MOTORHOME INTERIOR

SIDE WALLS AND ROOF LINING

A simple wipe over with a damp cloth and a very mild detergent is all that is needed.

SOFT FURNISHINGS

These should be vacuumed occasionally to remove grit and sand and help to keep its smart appearance and ensure long life. The upholstery can be cleaned with a mild, reputable upholstery cleaner. It is recommended that the curtains are dry cleaned only.

WORK SURFACES

Work surfaces are made with heat resistant tops.

Note: You should not stand very hot items on any of the work surfaces, especially models with plastic moulded sink and drainers.

CUPBOARD CATCHES

It is advisable to lightly oil all cupboard catches, sliding bolts, telescopic bed slides and hinges from time to time.

BATHROOM, SHOWER ROOM AND

KITCHEN EQUIPMENT

All the Thermoplastic parts in these areas have easy clean surfaces. To ensure long life and prevent damage you must not use any cleaning materials at all and ensure water temperatures do not exceed 70°C, (putting cold water in first is suggested). After every use it is essential that you rinse with clean water only and wipe with a soft damp cloth.

Failure to follow these simple instructions may result in premature failure or cracking which will not be covered by any guarantees

(including extended warranties).

CONDENSATION

Condensation will always occur when humidity inside your motorhome exceeds 60 per cent. Correct heating and ventilating of your motorhome will help to control condensation. We therefore recommend that you make sure your motorhome is heated and ventilated correctly at all times of the year, particularly in inclement or very wet weather. It will assist in reducing condensation if the windows are left in the night latch position.

Motorhome Care

FURNITURE

A simple wipe over with a damp cloth should be all that is required. Polishing with a proprietary brand of wax polish enhances and maintains furniture in showroom condition. Follow these guidelines to ensure your investment is receiving the very best attention.

It must be remembered that because the frames of the doors are made of ash, which is a natural product, they can be affected by temperature and humidity and may bow under certain conditions. As conditions change they may revert to their original positions.

Motorhome Care

CHASSIS AND REAR AXLE

Some models are built on Fiat Ducato or

Peugeot Boxer base vehicles, the chassis of which has been converted by Al-Ko. This conversion provides a hot dipped galvanised steel chassis coupled with a wide track rear axle utilising steel torsion bar suspension, imparting vastly improved stability and road holding. The rear axle is provided with a grease nipple at either side. Apply grease every 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometres) or at least once a year.

Al-Ko EXHAUST SYSTEM

A standard Fiat exhaust system is fitted utilising an Al-Ko modified tail pipe, available through your approved dealer.

A standard Fiat exhaust system is fitted to all other models, with the addition of a Swift

Group tail pipe.

WINTERISATION/STORAGE

This is probably an opportune moment to arrange for the motorhome to have its annual service at your appointed dealer.

The following applies wherever your motorhome is stored particularly during the winter months.

Do not park near trees or larch type fences, due to possible wind damage.

Keep any grass around the floor of the motorhome short, to maintain air flow and stop any possible damp getting into the motorhome.

It is advised that the motorhome is ventilated regularly throughout the winterisation/ storage period, opening windows, doors and rooflight when possible.

General

All moving parts should be checked for free operation.

Clean all cooking appliances and refrigerator.

Lubrication should be carried out at the points illustrated in the general notes on chassis maintenance.

Charge the on-board battery every

2 months.

Leave the refrigerator door open.

Leave furniture doors and lockers open to allow air to circulate fully.

Soft Furnishings

Clean and dust the upholstery and if possible remove before placing the motorhome into winter storage. Alternatively, stand the cushions on their edges to allow circulation of air. This will reduce the possibility of dampness from condensation.

Keep curtains or blinds closed, to minimise fading of furniture.

Wheels and Tyres

Do not store in one position with partially deflated tyres. The tyre walls will suffer and present a real danger of blow outs, especially when travelling at faster speeds than are allowed in the UK.

The wheels should be turned every couple of weeks.

If you are removing the wheels, follow the jacking procedure for changing a wheel.

Water System

The Truma water heater MUST be drained to prevent frost damage. The drain plug, which is on the outside of the flue cowl, should be unscrewed to permit draining. When the plug reaches the end of the thread the plug can be pulled out a small distance, yet still be retained in the thread and permit draining to occur. To allow the system and the tank to drain effectively, open ALL hot and cold taps while the heater is still warm.

Remove shower head.

The Thetford Cassette porta potti is easily winterised for storage. Empty the fresh water tank using the drain tube/fresh water tank level indicator (level indicator on electronic models only). Pull the lever indicator/drain tube down from top plug position and outward through door opening to drain water from the tank.

74

Empty the water fill funnel by pulling the bottle away from tank. Remove the small water cap on the filler bottom, allowing water to drain from the water funnel.

Do not tighten caps, this helps in keeping unit dry.

The pour out spout and vent plug can be removed. Seals should be greased if necessary with acid-free vaseline.

Remove the drain stop plugs on the fresh water pipes. These are located through the floor on the underside of the motorhome.

If a fresh water tank is fitted, drain the tank via underfloor drain tap/plug.

Leave the drain plugs and taps open.

The motorhome may be left in this condition over winter or until ready to use. It is recommended to leave the taps in the open position during storage.

Recommissioning the Water System

Fill the fresh water tank on the Thetford

Cassette porta potti (certain models only) using a hose or jerrycan until the water in the funnel reaches the neck. Tank capacity is 15 litres. Aqua Rinse may be added to improve cleaning of bowl and flushing of unit.

Replace cap. Swing back the water fill funnel until it touches the water tank.

Add Aqua Kem (100 ml) into the Cassette (or

120 ml if using Aqua Kem Bio) through the pour out spout. Add small amount of water through the pour out spout and replace the cap.

Close the cold taps and ensure all the drain plugs are fitted.

It is advisable after storage to flush the water system initially with a sterilising agent (such as Milton), and then with water repeating until the system is well flushed through.

Connect the pump.

Fill the system with water until water flows freely from the hot taps. About 2 gallons of water will be required. Close the hot taps.

Appliances

Before starting motor caravanning after storage, check all gas appliances and electrical points.

Note: Preferably not less than once a year, the electrical installation should be inspected and tested by a qualified electrician.

After storage it is advisable to air the motorhome and clean throughout, especially cooking appliances and the refrigerator.

Replace the bedding and wheels if they were removed for storage.

Important

Always follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures after use of fitted equipment in the motorhome and before storing for any length of time.
