MOTORHOME CODE

THE COUNTRY & COASTAL

CODES

Upon arrival at your destination you should be aware of the Country Code relating to motorhome owners. This is entitled the Motor

Caravanners’ Code.

Code of Conduct - Camp Sites

Arrivals

• Report to reception immediately on arrival.

Vehicle Movement

• Keep to roadways unless otherwise directed.

• 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 20ft of free space around your vehicle.

Use of Site

• 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 them clean and tidy. Young children should be escorted.

To avoid possible damage to sewage purification works, only approved chemical fluids must be used. Under no circumstances may 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. (Put all litter in containers marked for the purpose).

Noise

• Do not make excessive noise.

• Children should be restrained from making excessive noise.

2-1

• 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, motorhomes.

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

• Open and close doors quietly.

• Power generators must be adequately silenced and used with consideration and according to the restricted site times..

Dogs and 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 animal should be allowed in the shower/toilet blocks.

• Do not let dogs foul the site.

Fire Precautions

Adhere to and make note of all fire precautions concerning the whereabouts of the fire points.

Although not compulsory, it is recommended that a 1 kg (2lb) dry powder fire extinguisher is carried. It should comply with BS 5423 and be marked BSI or FOC approved. It is important to check at regular intervals that the extinguisher is working as is required by types meeting BS 5423.

Careful thought is necessary for the positioning of the extinguisher, which should be near the door but not too close to the cooking equipment where sudden flames could make it unreachable. In the kitchen area, a fire blanket is a worthwhile precaution.

Unless permission has been granted, barbecues should not be used. When permission has been given, consideration should be given to the annoyance that can be caused to other users of the site. Open fires are not allowed.

MOTORHOME CODE

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 the reception paying the required dues.

Wild camping

Camping away from licensed sites, without the permission of the landowner or his agent, is not allowed in the United Kingdom. When permission has been granted, all aspects of this Code should be adhered to.

On no accounts should:

• Litter be disposed of other than in receptacles provided.

• Water be allowed to escape from the vehicle.

• Chemical toilets be emptied except into the disposal places agreed with the landowner.

• Washing or similar be hung outside the vehicle.

Parking

Motorhomes should only be parked in approved places.

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

Driving

When using a motorhome on either the public highway or private road, the Highway Code should be complied with and full consideration given to other road users.

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

When the vehicle is in motion it is compulsory that all passengers are seated and seat restraint straps worn.

Before moving off, elevating roofs MUST 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 closed.

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.

Gas appliances should only be used when the vehicle is in motion when the manufacturer of the appliance permits such use.

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 below:

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.

Guard against all risk of fires. Hay and heath land catch alight easily and once ablaze are very hard to put out. Remember: Fire

Spreads Quickly.

• Keep to public paths across farmland.

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

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

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

2-2

MOTORHOME CODE

• Help to keep all water clean.

• Take special care of country roads.

• 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.

• Do not trample about, or move rocks unnecessarily.

• Do not frighten seals or seabirds.

• Do not spear fish.

• 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 mollusks 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 seaweed unnecessarily.

• Make your visit instructive - not destructive.

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

• Observe bye-laws and be considerate to others.

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

Follow these.

Fire Precautions

You should also make yourself aware of the local fire regulations.

2-3

MOTORHOME CODE

2-4

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

YOUR MOTORHOME (Weights explained)

Mass in Running Order (MRO)

The weight of your motorhome as it leaves the factory, as new with standard fixtures and fittings, plus an allowance for driver and 90% fuel.

Maximum Technically Permissible Laden

Mass (MTPLM)

The maximum weight of the vehicle when fully laden for use on the road. See specification section for actual figure.

User Payload

The load margin (payload), this represents the difference between the Mass in Running

Order (MRO) and the Maximum Technically

Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM). It shows the maximum weight which can be loaded into your motorhome, covering items such as food, crockery, cutlery, clothing, bedding, gas cylinders, etc. See Technical Specification for actual figure.

Please take care to ensure that you have allowed for the masses of all items you intend to carry in the motorhome, e.g.. passengers, optional equipment, essential habitation equipment and personal effects such as clothing, food, pets, bicycles etc.

Although there are additional seat belts within the motorhome, please refer to the stated number of passengers that are allowed due to the MRO and MTPLM.

LOADING AND DISTRIBUTION OF

WEIGHT IN THE MOTORHOME

SENSIBLE LOADING

HOW TO APPORTION WEIGHT

Loading

Correct weight distribution is a major factor in making your motorhome a balanced and pleasant vehicle to drive without compromising road-holding. Care should therefore be taken to ensure that heavy items are well spaced and are in as low a position as possible, for example, low cupboards and bed boxes.

DO NOT EXCEED THE STATED MAXIMUM

LOAD. ITEMS FITTED OTHER THAN

STANDARD EQUIPMENT WILL DEPLETE

THE PAYLOAD STATED IN THIS

HANDBOOK.

WARNING: Under no circumstances should the maximum permissible laden mass of the motorhome be exceeded.

Roof Loading

DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO CLIMB

ONTO THE ROOF.

Roof Rack Bars and Ladder (optional)

When using the optional roof rack, care should be taken to see that all the items are securely anchored. Apart from general cleaning and polishing, the roof rack and ladder require no special maintenance.

WARNING: Take special care when on the roof in wet or frosty weather conditions, which cause it to be particularly slippery.

3-1

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

Maximum load within the area encompassed by the roof rack should not exceed 75 kgs

(165 lbs) with a maximum loading of 8 kg (17 lbs) per square foot.

Before Moving Off

Whenever making a journey with your motorhome, either setting off on holiday or returning home, it is good practice to run through this simple checklist.

1.

Close and secure all cupboards and drawers and check any loose articles. Do not store tins, bottles, etc. in overhead lockers.

2.

Close and secure all windows and roof lights.

3.

Leave all curtains and blinds open to aid visibility.

4.

Turn off all gas appliances, except those heating appliances designed to function while the vehicle is in motion. Ensure that the red isolation taps are in the ‘off’ position. If fitted with a gas locker, ensure that the gas cylinders are securely restrained and that the door is closed and locked.

5.

Ensure that there is sufficient gas to meet your needs.

6.

Switch off 230 volt supply at source, disconnect mains cable from vehicle.

Beware of potential electric shock from wet cable. Coil cable and store in a safe place.

7.

Check your RCD’s/MCB’s for operation.

8.

Check and if necessary, charge the conversion battery.

9.

Check battery selection switch is in the

OFF position.

10. Check that the battery is secure and that the battery box lid is fastened.

11. Ensure the fridge is on 12V operation and door lock is set. (Note: the electrical relays will allow the fridge to be run on the vehicle battery when the engine is running.)

12. Remove any external fresh water connections etc.

13. Make sure any heavy articles are stored in accordance with the loading procedure. Tables should also be made secure.

14. Lock the motorhome exterior door

(remember to take out your keys).

15. Check your external rear view mirrors and adjust if necessary.

16. Check that all corner steadies are wound up and that, if a step is used, it is put away before moving off.

17. Check wheel nuts are secure and tyre pressures are correct.

18. Ensure, if required, that your fresh water tank is full and your waste tank is empty.

19. Referring to your base vehicle manual, check all fluid levels including automotive fuel and tyre pressures. Remember to check that your spare tyre is of the recommended pressure.

20. Ensure that, on models fitted with an elevating roof, the roof is securely locked down with the exterior catches applied.

21. The fridge vent covers should be fitted when the vehicle is to be driven in order to comply with European Type Approval regulations for vehicle external projections.

22. Ensure that the toilet flush tank only contains a small amount of water (1-2 litres) in order to minimise the risks of leaks or spillage whilst the vehicle is in motion.

23. Check underneath the vehicle for stray items.

24. Safely store levelling blocks away in an appropriate place.

3-2

ON THE ROAD

Pulling Off

Engage the clutch smoothly.

Avoid wear and tear on clutch and transmission by taking extra care.

Change gears smoothly.

Try not to jerk the clutch.

MOTORWAY DRIVING

Speed Limits (UK)

If a speed limit is not in force, your motorhome can be driven up to 70mph on motorways and dual carriageways.

1.

Reduce Speed: i) In high or cross winds.

ii) Downhill.

iii) In poor visibility.

2.

High sided vehicles cause air buffeting, so extra care must be taken when passing or being passed. As much space as possible should be given.

Motorway Handling

Do not bump the kerb with the wheels.

When passing other vehicles allow more than the normal clearance.

Allow longer to get up speed to pass.

Do not swing out suddenly.

Carry out all manoeuvres as smoothly as possible.

Use nearside wing mirror to check motorhome has cleared when overtaking.

Changing a Wheel

Refer to the vehicle handbook

WARNING: Ensure the wheel is of the same construction and size as the one that has been removed.

Jacking

Front and Rear - use the standard jacking points as per the base vehicle handbook.

Removing the Spare Wheel

CAUTION: Exercise care when lowering the wheel frame due to its weight.

4-1

Removal

a.

The spare wheel is located under the rear floor of the vehicle.

b.

The toolkit is stored in a case located under the front passenger seat.

c.

Lower the spare wheel using the base vehicle winding mechanism accessible inboard behind the offside rear wheel.

Locate the jack winder into the mechanism and turn.

Replacement of Spare Wheel

a.

Replace wheel on retention wire.

b.

Turn winder to pull cable and tyre back into stored position.

c.

Replace tools in toolkit.

Rear Step

Your motorhome has an electrically operated rear step. In the event of the rear step being left extended, a buzzer, positioned behind the dashboard, will sound (when the ignition is switched on) - and will continue to do so until the rear step has been fully retracted.

Changing a Light Bulb

The front and rear marker lights, and the high level brake light, are LED type and should not normally require any attention.

To change other rear light bulbs, ease the lamp from the back panel by pushing up the metal tag at the bottom of the lamp with a screwdriver. Withdraw the lamp and undo the over-centre clip to release the bulbholder.

Change the bulb and re-assemble, ensuring that the over-centre clip snaps into its retaining slot. Replace the lamp in the back panel, ensuring that it is the correct way up, with the retaining clip at the bottom.

The side marker lights (where fitted) have a bayonet fixing bulb, accessed by removing the two screws holding the lens and withdrawing the lamp.

Cycle Rack

In order that a cycle rack can be fitted, the rear panel coachwork has been strengthened accordingly. Timber is bonded into the bodywork immediately above the rear light units, laterally across the vehicle. This allows

ON THE ROAD the lower mounting brackets for the Fiamma

Pro-C cycle rack to be fitted in a suitably reinforced area. In the event of a cycle rack being fitted, the cycle rack when folded will increase the vehicle length by 400mm. Your

Auto-Sleeper dealer will give further advice or assistance if required.

Whilst Driving

Whilst the vehicle is being driven ensure that:

• Both the passenger and driver wear seat belts - this is a legal requirement.

• Heavy loads are not stored in top cupboards or in areas from which they may become detached. Please ensure that heavy items are stored low down and take care not to overload individual wheels, the axles or the MTPLM.

• Table(s) are stowed in the correct position and table legs secured in their retaining clips.

• Furniture lids are lowered; cupboards and flaps are closed and secured.

• The refrigerator door is closed and secured by its travelling catch.

• The retractable rear step if fitted, is folded away or, if a separate step is supplied, it is safely stowed in the vehicle.

• Roof ventilators are closed and locked in the down position.

• The bathroom is not used whilst the vehicle is in motion. (Note: Refers only to models fitted with shower or toilet compartment).

• Top hinged windows are closed, and securely fastened.

• Children do not roam around the vehicle; they may fall and injure themselves.

Front Seat Swivel (where fitted)

Your vehicle may be fitted with a swivel base to either or both of the front seats, so that they may be turned to face the rear of the vehicle.

The release lever, coloured red, is located at the front of the seat and is pushed downwards to unlock the swivel mechanism.

Note: It may be necessary to lower the handbrake in order to swivel the driver’s seat.

In this case, ensure that first gear is engaged and the road wheels are chocked first.

WARNING: It is important that while the vehicle is in motion, any seat swivels are locked in the forward facing position.

Map Storage

In the rear of each cab seat there is a map pocket for storage of maps, periodicals and light items.

4-2

ARRIVAL AT SITE

CHECK SITE REGULATIONS

Siting your Motorhome

When siting your motorhome, keep to the roadways unless otherwise directed. Obey the speed limit which, in general, is 10 mph.

Only a person in possession of a current driving licence is permitted to drive on the site. Stopping distances on grass are considerably greater than on tarmac.

Selecting a Pitch

Carefully select where you wish to park your motorhome. The site should be as level as possible, well drained and away from boggy areas and, preferably, not under or near trees. Consider also, how you will move your motorhome when leaving the site. For example, on sloping ground in wet conditions, pitch facing downhill.

Levelling

The optional rear corner steadies, which can be lowered by using the brace supplied, are designed to give greater stability to the vehicle when it is stationary on site. The brace is stored in the wardrobe.

Note: On no account should the rear corner steadies be used to jack up the vehicle when carrying out maintenance or changing a wheel.

It is important to site your motorhome level to ensure correct operation of the refrigeration, cooker, etc. by using purpose made ramps and NOT bricks or such items.

Awning Light

The exterior awning light is controlled by the

‘Aux’ switch on the electrical control panel.

5-1

ARRIVAL AT SITE

5-2

SAFETY & SECURITY

SAFETY

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

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.

WARNING: When upper bunks are used by children especially under six years of age care shall be taken against the risk of them falling out.

Fire Extinguishers

It is recommended that a 1 kg (2lb) minimum capacity dry powder fire extinguisher be located by the main exit door at all times.

A pan fire should not have an extinguisher aimed at it but be smothered with a fire blanket (which should be stored by the cooker).

In case of fire

1.

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

2.

Raise the alarm — Call the fire brigade.

3.

Turn off gas container valve if safe to do so.

Ventilation and Condensation

The ventilation points on your motorhome are fixed points of ventilation which are stated by the European Standards. Under no circumstances must these vents be blocked or obstructed. It is advised that fixed ventilation points and any protective screens are checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a regular basis.

Fresh air circulation should be allowed below the motorhome when appliances are in use and when flues terminate below the floor to allow free evacuation of the products of combustion. At least three sides of the underfloor space should always be kept open and unobstructed especially by snow. Do not make any additional openings in the floor.

6-1

Under no circumstances must these vents be blocked or obstructed.

Additional night time ventilation is obtained by releasing the window catches and placing them in the second groove on the frame catch.

Awnings

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

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

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

Air Bags

Do not fit rear-facing children’s seats to front facing seat protected by air bags. It is recommended that small children do not sit in the front passenger seat whilst the vehicle is in motion. Follow the advice given in your base vehicle instruction book.

Fitting is the reverse of removal. To deactivate the detector the two ends of the metal clip must be inserted into the corresponding holes in the disabling socket located on the underside of the detector (see

Fig 2). You can ensure that the product is

6-4 disabled by pressing the test button - if there is no sound from the sounder then the clip has been fitted correctly.

Fig 2

Note: If the disabling tab is no longer available then the clip can be replicated by opening out a thin metal paper clip into a Ushape.

Operating Features

Your FireAngel detector offers many features which set it apart from other CO detectors on the market today.

Test/Reset Button Feature

This button will:

• Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry.

• Allows you to test the sensor by introducing a source of CO into the detector (see ‘Testing The Sensor’).

• Silence the loud 8.5dB (at 1 metre (3 feet)) sounder during an alarm (only for alarms due to levels of CO of less than

50ppm)

Testing the sounder, power pack and circuitry

Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry by pressing and releasing the Test/Reset button to confirm that the detector is operating properly. The sounder should sound as soon as the button is pressed, and the Alarm LED will illuminate red indicating that the sounder is working and the power pack is providing power to the unit. This test for the sounder, power pack and circuitry should be performed on a weekly basis.

Testing the sensor

Note: We suggest the use of an incense stick or cigarette as the inefficient way in which these products burn means the smoke given off contains a detectable localised amount of carbon monoxide. Alternative sources of

SAFETY & SECURITY smoke, for example an extinguished candle or match, will not contain sufficient levels of carbon monoxide to obtain a response from the detector during this test. Please note your

CO detector will not detect smoke.

CAUTION: Sensor testing should only be performed by a responsible adult. This test should be performed annually.

Note: CO test kits may be used in order to avoid having to burn cigarettes, incense sticks etc. However we recommend that incense sticks are used as they are cheap and readily available.

Read all steps thoroughly before attempting to test the sensor.

Step 1 If the detector is wall or ceiling mounted unhook the detector from the screws.

Step 2 Cover the sounder vents with one hand. Press and hold the Test/Reset button down with your thumb/finger until the Fault LED illuminates yellow and the sounder sounds for a second time (this should happen after around

5 seconds). Release the Test/Reset button. Upon releasing the Test/

Reset button the Fault LED will flash yellow once every second. This indicates that the sampling rate of the detector has increased and can be tested using a known source of CO.

Step 4 Turn the detector on its side so that the vents on the right hand side of the detector are pointing downwards.

Hold the burning cigarette or incense stick 15cm (6 inches) below the detector, so that the smoke enters the vents on the side of the detector.

An increase in the localised carbon monoxide level with the sensor to more than 50ppm will cause the sounder to sound for one cycle of four loud beeps and the Fault LED to illuminate yellow for a short time.

This is the end of the test. The Fault

LED will no longer flash yellow and the detector will go back to normal operating mode ie. the Power LED will flash green once every minute (It may take up to two minutes of exposure to the smoke for the localised level of carbon monoxide within the sensor to reach over

50ppm). Now move the source of CO away from the detector as the test is finished.

Step 3 Light a cigarette or an incense stick using a match or lighter. If using an incense stick be sure to blow out the flame so that the incense stick is smouldering. Extinguish the lighter, or put out the match and place it into a dish of water.

Step 5 After step 4, put out the incense stick or cigarette by placing it into a dish of water. Ensure that all flames have been extinguished.

Note: If the localised carbon monoxide level within the sensor does not reach 50ppm during the test, the sensor test will stop automatically after 3 minutes.

6-5

SAFETY & SECURITY

Understanding the Product’s Indicators

The higher the concentration of carbon monoxide detected by the detector, the quicker it will respond. When sufficient carbon monoxide is detected a loud audible signal (85 dB at 1m (3 feet)) will be emitted and the Alarm LED will flash red once every second.

The Alarm will sound:

• Between 60 and 90 minutes when exposed to a minimum of 50ppm of CO.

• Between 10 and 40 minutes when exposed to a minimum of 100ppm of CO.

• Within 3 minutes when exposed to a minimum of 300ppm of CO.

Fault/low power pack signal:

The unit continuously checks the settings of its sensor and circuitry. If any of these settings are found to be incorrect or if the power pack becomes low then the detector will emit a single chirp once per minute and the Fault LED will flash yellow once per minute for up to 30 days.

IMPORTANT: This does NOT mean that the detector has detected carbon monoxide.

If the product is still within warranty then contact technical support. If the product is no longer in warranty replace immediately!

IMPORTANT: The selected power pack was chosen to provide power beyond the lifetime of the product, in particular the sensor (under normal operating conditions). The sensor life is seven years, for this reason, the detector should be replaced after seven years from the date of installation.

Maintaining/Testing Your Detector

Maintenance

Your detector will alert you to potentially hazardous CO concentrations in your home when maintained properly. To maintain your

FireAngel detector in proper working order and to ensure that the sensor will last for the lifetime of the product, it is recommended that you:

• Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry of your detector at least once per week by pressing the Test/Reset button briefly.

• Perform the Sensor Test annually.

• Keep the detector free of dust by gently vacuuming the case with a soft brush attachment when required.

To prevent the possibility of contaminating the sensor in your detector and thus affecting its reliability.

• Never use cleaning solutions on your detector. Simply wipe with a slightly damp cloth.

• Do not paint the detector.

• Do not spray aerosols on or near the detector.

• Do not use any solvent based products near the detector.

• Move the detector to a safe location and store in a plastic bag before painting, wall papering, or performing any other activities using substances that emit strong fumes. Remember to remove it from the bag and replace the detector when these activities are finished.

Failure of any test should be reported to the technical support line.

Do not attempt to repair your CO detector. Do not remove any screws or open the main casing of your detector. Any attempt to do so may cause malfunction and will invalidate the warranty.

What to do in the event of an alarm

WARNING: A loud alarm is a warning that unusually high and potentially lethal levels of carbon monoxide are present. Never ignore this alarm, further exposure can be fatal.

Immediately check residents for symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and contact the proper authorities to resolve all CO problems.

NEVER IGNORE ANY ALARM.

6-6

SAFETY & SECURITY

Please carefully review this owner’s manual to ensure that you know what actions to take in the event of an alarm.

What to do during an alarm

• Keep calm and open the doors and windows to ventilate the property.

• Stop using all fuel burning appliances and ensure, if possible, that they are turned off.

• Evacuate the property leaving the doors and windows open.

• Ring your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency number; keep the number in a prominent place.

Write your fuel supplier’s emergency number here:

• Do not re-enter the property until the alarm has stopped. When exposed to fresh air it can take up to 10 minutes for the sensor to clear and the alarm to stop depending on the level of carbon monoxide detected.

• Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning (headache, nausea) and advise that carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected.

• Do not use the appliance again until it has been checked by an expert. In the case of gas appliances the engineer must be registered.

SECURITY

Chassis number

Record the chassis number and the factory job number of your motorhome, and keep them in a safe place at home.

The chassis number is a 17 digit number, beginning with the letters VF3, and is found stamped on a plate visible through a window in the bottom left hand corner of the windscreen, and also on a plate under the bonnet attached to the bonnet closing crossmember.

The factory job number is an alphanumeric code consisting of a letter followed by four numbers, and is found on a label inside the glove box.

Motorhome Theft

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

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

Additional security

Consider fitting any device which might deter or prevent intrusion by thieves. A wheel lock prevents removal of the wheel.

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.

WATER SYSTEMS

Fresh/Waste Tanks

The freshwater tank is located in the centre of the vehicle ahead of the rear axle, and may be drained by a tap clipped behind the offside skirt. The waste water tank is positioned in the centre of the vehicle behind the rear axle, and is drained by a grey tap located below the skirt behind the rear wheel.

For capacities of both see the Technical

Specification Section.

The freshwater tank is filled through the

Whale socket on the side of the vehicle using the special hose supplied. See next page for further details.

All tanks and pipework are manufactured to food grade material specification.

Breathers

Both tanks are fitted with breathers, which allow air displacement when filling. When filling the fresh water tank, water may escape through these breathers; this should give no cause for concern.

Frost Precaution

If the vehicle is not being used during freezing conditions the water should be drained. If the vehicle is being used in such conditions, refer to the heater section for options available to set up automatic draining of the heater.

FRESH WATER PUMP

A Whale submersible water pump is fitted in the freshwater tank of your vehicle. This is a compact, self venting, high flow pump which is quiet in operation and has a maximum flow rate of 15.8 litres per minute.

Maintenance

The pump is a sealed unit so no maintenance is required other than a check as part of the annual habitation service.

Ensuring the water supply is free of debris when filling the tank will reduce the likelihood of pump clog.

Winterising

To protect against damage as a result of freezing, drain the entire water system.

CONNECTION OF SERVICES

FRESHWATER FILLER

The Whale Watermaster system is used on your vehicle to make easier the connection of an outside water supply to the water system.

Operation

Priming:

1. Open one cold tap (e.g. kitchen sink).

2. Place pump into water container.

3. Insert plug into wall socket.

4. Whale socket: Locate plug tab into lid slot and close lid to lock in position in the socket.

Close lid to lock

Plug tab locks into slot

5. Adjust dust cover over opening in container (please note dust cover should not be secured to water container as air must be allowed to enter container to replace water being pumped out).

6. Switch on 12 volt supply at main panel isolator switch.

7. Water will flow from the open tap expelling any trapped air in a few seconds.

8. Turn off tap, the system is now ready for use.

When removing plug

1. Switch off 12 volt supply at main panel isolator switch.

2. Whale socket: Lift socket lid to release plug.

3. Pull out plug from socket using hand grip.

4. Shut lid.

7-2

The submersible pump can be run for quite long periods when in water, but it is recommended that running periods should be restricted to a maximum of 15 minutes. Do not run the pump without water. Do not use the pump in water temperatures above 40ºC

(100ºF). It is best to stand the pump vertically.

Maintenance

The pump is fitted with a strainer which should be inspected and cleaned at frequent intervals. The pump is a completely sealed unit, no maintenance is required.

Helpful Hints:

Before switching on, place the pump in water and shake for a few seconds in a horizontal or inverted position to release trapped air.

This will ensure successful priming and should be repeated after refilling the water tank. The plug for the Whale socket has a groove under the handgrip for clipping the water hose into when refilling the water container.

Fault Finding

1. If the pump will not run:

Check contacts in plug and socket are clean and making contact. Check wiring connections.

2. If the pump cycles on/off with tap closed:

Check for air or water leaks in taps and piping. Re-adjust pressure switch.

3. If pump motor runs steadily and will not stop: Check that there is water in the container. Battery voltage may be too low

(at or below 10.5 volts). Adjust pressure switch and/or recharge battery. Check all connections in pipe-work. The Whale

Tiptoe Pump can be fitted in-line with the submersible pump and used as a manual back-up.

Notes

* The socket lid must be used to lock the plug securely into the socket.

• On the back of the filler socket, on the inside of the vehicle, is an adjusting screw for the pump solenoid. This is set by the manufacturer and under no circumstances should it be tampered with by the owner.

CONNECTION OF SERVICES

WATER PRESSURE SWITCH

Adjustment

Your pressure switch is factory set and should not normally require adjustment. In the event that your pump doesn’t switch off when you close the taps , or it pulses on and off when the taps are fully open, follow these guidelines to readjust the setting.

Pressure switch adjustment may be required usually because the power supply voltage has varied from the previous setting.

Possible causes are: a. Battery drainage through normal use b. Higher voltage supply when battery charger operating

Pressure Switch Setting

1.

Ensure the system, including the heater is full of water and all taps are closed.

Refer to your user manual. Be sure to set the switch at low battery condition.

2.

If present, remove the pressure switch locknut in an anti- clockwise direction, then tighten the adjusting screw clockwise until the pump comes on.

3.

Open any tap until you have a smooth flow of water, then close the tap. You should hear the pump running and the pump running light if fitted will be on.

4.

Return to the pressure switch and turn the screw slowly anti-clockwise until the pump has stopped. Turn the screw a further half turn (180 degrees) anti-clockwise.

5.

Check for correct operation by opening and closing all taps individually. The pump should turn on when the cold tap is opened and switch off immediately when the cold tap is closed. NB At low flows there may be some pulsation.

6.

The hot side may take about 10 seconds to react (both on and off) due to cushioning from the water heater.

7.

Carefully replace the lockout until it is tight keeping the adjustment screw in position.

Remember: You may also have to adjust the pressure switch to cope with changes in voltage from either battery or mains. Do so using the above instructions.

If setting of pressure switch is still not correct you may experience:

Pump running continuously, even with tap closed. If undiscovered, could result in pump failure and flat battery. Most likely causes are that present voltage is significantly lower when last adjusted, or water container is empty.

CURE: Re- adjust switch or refill container

Pump does not run at all. If not due to blown fuse or faulty connections, then most likely cause is excessive continuous running (see

‘a’ above)

CURE: Replace pump and readjust switch

Pump runs intermittently ON, OFF, ON, OFF etc. Seen as pulsing flow from tap, or as inability to set constant water temperature, water goes hot, cold, hot, cold instead of constant warm. Most likely cause is that present voltage is significantly higher than when last adjusted.

CURE: Readjust pressure switch, if problem persists add a Whale Surge Damper.

Pump runs very noisily but does not pump water. Likely to occur after water container has been refilled. Pump is air- locked and is fighting to get air out and water in.

CURE: Unplug from the socket, allowing pump to flood, and reconnect by plugging in again. The correct sequence when refilling the container is to unplug, put pump into container, then reconnect.

Pump continues to run for up to 30 seconds after tap is turned off. This is not a problem.

This is a characteristic of pressure switch systems caused by the dampening effect of the hot water heater or surge damper on the cold side.

THREE GOLDEN RULES:

1.

NEVER allow the pump to run dry.

2.

NEVER allow the pump to run continuously for more than 15 minutes.

3.

The pump assembly MUST be unplugged BEFORE putting the pump back into the refilled water container.

CONNECTION OF SERVICES

GAS

GENERAL INFORMATION

The gas appliances in this vehicle are powered by Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) which is stored, under pressure, in a tank located under the floor in the centre of the vehicle. This tank is refilled, when required, at a re-fuelling station using a nozzle and hose in a similar way to refilling the engine fuel tank. Make sure that heating and cooking appliances are switched off before you move the motorhome.

The regulator

Your motorhome is fitted with a regulator as standard equipment. The gas regulator has a working pressure of 30mbar and is suitable for use with all commercially available brands of LPG. It is fitted adjacent to the tank installation under the vehicle and requires no attention from the owner whilst using the vehicle.

Availability

LPG is becoming more widely available as more vehicle engines are converted to run on it. Many garages now have an LPG pump and other outlets are available in more rural areas, often near farming communities for instance. Look for signs advertising

‘Autogas’.

If you have internet access, search for ‘LPG filling stations’ and there are many sites where input of your postcode will locate the nearest filling station to your location.

There are many companies producing LPG but all brands are suitable for use in your vehicle.

LPG Re-fuelling

LPG re-fuelling is simple and efficient, carried out in much the same way as petrol and diesel with a hose and nozzle designed to lock onto the filling connector on the vehicle.

The refulling point is located behind a black plastic cover on the offside of the vehicle behind the driver’s door.

Once the connection is made, the customer simply presses and holds down a button on the dispenser until they have put the required amount of fuel into the vehicle or until the tank is full.

LPG tanks are fitted with a valve that stops the flow once the tank has reached its maximum safe filling level. Once the meter stops the customer simply disconnects the nozzle and returns it to the dispenser.

Note: Although the nominal capacity of the tank is 25 litres, a float valve automatically cuts off at 80% full to allow space for the gas vapour above the liquid. Therefore, the

7-4

CONNECTION OF SERVICES maximum amount of LPG which can be put into the tank is 20 litres.

There is a gauge for the LPG tank, fitted at the right hand side of the dashboard, which uses LED lights to indicate the fuel level.

Safety Note

• When pulling up to the Autogas dispenser ensure the vehicle is parked with the filling connector located nearest to the dispensing pump.

• Apply the handbrake and switch off the engine.

• No smoking, naked flames or mobile phones are allowed on the Service

Station forecourt.

• If the re-fuelling process will take longer than 15 minutes (ie with the ignition off) then turn the refrigerator off at its main switch in order to prevent it from switching automatically to the alternative energy source of gas and producing an ignition spark.

• The use of an adaptor is not recommended.

• Refilling of portable LPG cylinders is not allowed.

• All dispensing nozzles should be fitted with a nozzle shield. Please report to staff if missing.

Filling Nozzles

When connecting the nozzle to the filler valve on your vehicle always check that the locking pins are aligned.

There are two main types of filling nozzles used in the UK - ‘Gas Guard’ and ‘De Visser’.

Gas Guard uses a rotating barrel to lock on to the filler valve wherease De Visser uses a lever.

GAS SAFETY ADVICE

Facts about LPG

• LPG is not poisonous.

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

• Bi-products of combustion are harmless.

• There is danger if all air and oxygen are excluded, therefore ventilation holes must be kept clear at all times.

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

b) Avoid naked lights when re-fuelling.

c) LPG is more dense than air.

Consequently any vapour may flow along the ground and into drains, sinking to the lowest level of the surroundings and be ignited at a considerable distance from the source of leakage. In still air the vapour will disperse slowly.

MAINTENANCE

To ensure that the LPG tank installation remains safe the following maintenance must be carried out by a competent person.

Annually:

• Visual examination of the LPG tank, filling point, valves, regulators and fittings for:

• Dents and gouges

• Corrosion, particularly under any mounting strap or bracket

• Condition of the hoses, mounting straps, brackets and fixing to the vehicle

• Damage to valves and fittings, in particular the filling connection and cap

• Correct operation of valves, regulator, over pressure shut-off valve and fittings

All defects shall be rectified by a competent person

At periods not exceeding 10 years

This period is based on the date of manufacture (or previous test) marked on the tank. The tank shall be:

• Removed from the vehicle

• Stripped and subject to a thorough examination

• Re-painted

• The valves replaced

• Hoses replaced

• Tested after assembly and re-certified by a competent person

Alternatively, replacing the LPG tank will satisfy these requirements.

Repair

Note the following important safety warnings:

• Vehicles undergoing repairs involving welding or the application of heat, to any part within 1m of the LPG fuel tank, should have the fuel lines emptied and the tank removed or shielded from the source of heat.

• Vehicles with LPG tanks should not be put through a low bake repainting oven or similar heating process unless the temperature is controlled to less than

40

°C.

CONNECTION OF SERVICES

VENTILATION

General

Fixed ventilation is a statutory requirement in all motorhomes. These ventilation apertures are positioned at both high and low level and for your safety should not be obstructed, even partially.

Low Level Ventilation

Under each appliance is a fixed ventilation aperture, of a size commensurate with the rating of the appliance itself. It is either gauze covered or incorporates a fixed plastic vent.

This should be checked regularly to see that it has not become blocked.

High Level Ventilation

High level ventilation is provided by the roof vents. The ventilation provided has been carefully calculated and relates to the rating of the appliances in the vehicle. Roof vents must not be covered with anything that may limit or affect the ventilation they provide.

Maintenance

Under no circumstances should any fixed ventilation aperture be blocked, covered, either partially or fully, or be modified in any manner whatsoever. They should be checked at least annually for damage or blockage.

Screens and/or grilles should be kept clean and free from dust. See diagram of upper/ lower ventilation.

All ventilation complies with BS EN 721 and 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.

When you are cooking, it is essential to provide additional ventilation such as opening windows near grill, cooker or oven.

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.

WARNING: Never allow modification of

LPG systems and appliances except by qualified persons.

CONNECTION OF SERVICES

Connection

Ensure that the gas regulator is correctly connected to the gas cylinder in 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.

All gas equipment is supplied through a central Gas Manifold System which has individual isolation taps for each appliance denoted by a symbol (see below).

Gas isolation valve

Note: Amount and order of taps may vary from that which is shown.

WARNINGS:

1 Interior outlet sockets must only be used with original appliances supplied by manufacturer.

2 No appliance must be used outside when connected to an internal socket.

3 No additional appliance must be used inside the motorhome.

Never use portable cooking or heating equipment other than electric heaters, that are not of the radiant type as they are a fire and asphyxiation hazard.

Safe Usage

To avoid accidents, the following fundamental advice should be carefully read before using gas appliances or changing gas cylinders.

• Always read and follow the use and maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturers of gas equipment. Should any soot accumulate on pans, fire radiants, etc., or any smell be produced, consult a competent installer on the correct maintenance and adjustment of burners.

• Never check for gas leaks with a naked flame.

• Always turn off the gas cylinder valve(s) or inlet to the motorhome or other dwelling when gas appliances are not in use.

• Never use gas appliances without adequate ventilation. All gas appliances require a plentiful supply of fresh air for correct operation. Fixed ventilators or air inlets should not be stopped up. Where practicable, turn off all appliances before retiring to bed, preferably at the cylinder or inlet to the motorhome or other dwelling.

• Unless the appliance incorporates automatic ignition, when lighting an appliance always make sure you apply a lighted match or taper to the burner before turning on the gas.

• If any appliance is disconnected for repair, maintenance, etc., ensure that the gas line is capped off.

• If taps are stiff to operate or appear to be a source of leakage, call in a competent installer to rectify. LPG taps require a special grease.

• Always seek advice when in doubt.

Input Ratings

Input rating for the gas appliances are as follows:

Refrigerator ......................................... 0.1kW

Heater ................................................. 2.4kW

Grill ...................................................... 1.5kW

CAUTION: Electrical heaters have the potential to draw 8 amps at 2kW. It is, therefore, advisable to check the supply rating before switching on two loads (items) greater than the supply as this may cause an overload and the circuit breaker to trip.

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

Activating the System

The EC500 system has a shutdown feature that should be used when the vehicle is in storage or is not being used for long periods of time. This allows the leisure electronics to be turned off when not required to save battery power. When in the off state the alarm and tracking system supplies are still active, most other supplies are turned off.

Before using the system please ensure the system shutdown switch is in the on position

(button in).

2.3

Connecting to the Mains 230V supply and Safety checks

For your safety it is IMPORTANT that you follow these connections instructions each time your Leisure Vehicle is connected to a mains supply. This section assumes that the system is complete and that a Leisure battery has been installed (see 3.5).

A) Ensure suitability of the Mains Supply.

Your Leisure Vehicle should only be connected to an approved supply that meets the requirements of BS7671 or relevant harmonised standards. In most cases the site warden will hold information regarding suitability of supply.

If using a generator you also need to comply with the requirements / instructions supplied with the generator.

Please note that some electronic generators may not be compatible with your leisure system. Further generator operational information is contained elsewhere in this manual.

B) Switch the PSU internal Power Converter

OFF. Locate the green ‘Charger’ power switch on the PSU and ensure the switch is in the off position (button out) before connection to the mains supply.

C) Connect the Hook-up Lead. Firstly connect the supplied hook-up lead

(orange cable with blue connectors) to the Leisure Vehicle and then connect to the mains supply.

D) Check Residual Current Device operation. Locate the RCD within the

PSU and ensure the RCD is switched on

(lever in up position). Press the ‘Test’

7-16 button and confirm that the RCD turns off

(lever in down position). Switch the RCD back to the on position (lever in up position). If the test button failed to operate the RCD see section 3.14.

Operation while driving

The EC500 system is designed to shutdown parts of the system whilst the engine is running.

This is to meet Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations and to ensure the safe operation of your motorhome.

Please ensure the system shutdown switch on the PSU is in the “on” (button in) position before driving (see 2.2). This will ensure the electronic system is active and will therefore be able to control the charging process, supply the refrigerator and monitor other system circuits.

When fitted, designated 12v sockets, en-route reading lights and en-route heating will remain operational while the engine is running.

If you hear a warning buzzer when the engine is started, please see the control panel display for details and also refer to section 3.11.

3 System Technical Information

The following section provides further technical information relating to the electrical system.

3.1

System Configuration

There are a number of dealer configurable features within the system. Your dealer will discuss these options with you and make the necessary adjustments as required. Should you wish to review the possible options / settings, further information can be sourced from www.sargentltd.co.uk

3.2

Residual Current Device & Miniature Circuit Breakers

The Residual Current Device (RCD) is basically provided to protect the user from lethal electric shock. The RCD will turn off

(trip) if the current flowing in the live conductor does not fully return down the neutral conductor, i.e. some current is passing through a person down to earth or through a faulty appliance.

To ensure the RCD is working correctly, the test button should be operated each time the vehicle is connected to the mains supply (see section 2.3)

The Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB’s) operate in a similar way to traditional fuses and are provided to protect the wiring installation from overload or short circuit. If an overload occurs the MCB will switch off the supply. If this occurs you should investigate the cause of the fault before switching the MCB back on.

3.3

Battery Charger

The EC500 system incorporates an intelligent three-stage battery charger / power converter.

During stage 1 the battery voltage is increased gradually while the current is limited to start the charging process and protect the battery. At stage 2 the voltage rises to 14.4V to deliver the bulk charge to the battery. When the battery is charged, the voltage is decreased at stage 3 to 13.6V

to deliver a float charge to maintain the battery in the fully charged state. The charger can be left switched on continuously as required.

The battery charger / power converter also provides power to the leisure equipment when the mains supply is connected. This module supplies DC to the leisure equipment up to a maximum of 25 Amps (300 Watts), therefore the available power is distributed between the leisure load and the battery, with the leisure load taking priority as per the following example:

Leisure load

5A

10A

15A

WARNING: Under heavy loads the charger case may become hot. ALWAYS ensure any ventilation slots have a clear flow of air. Do not place combustible materials against/adjacent to the charger.

3.4

Smart Charging

The EC500 system incorporates a smart charge feature, which monitors both leisure and vehicle batteries and automatically adjusts and directs the charger power (and solar power if a solar panel is installed) to maintain the leisure and vehicle batteries at an optimal level.

3.5

Leisure Battery

3.5.1

Type / Selection

For optimum performance and safety it is essential that only a proprietary brand LEISURE battery is used with a typical capacity of 75 to 120 Ah (Ampere / hours). A normal vehicle battery is NOT suitable. This battery should always be connected when the system is in use.

The PSU is configured to work with standard lead acid leisure batteries, and in most cases is also compatible with the latest range of Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) batteries. Before fitting nonstandard batteries please check that the charging profile described in 3.3 is suitable for the type of battery by referring to the battery documentation or battery manufacturer.

Some vehicle installations can cater for two leisure batteries connected in parallel. In these cases it is recommended that two identical batteries are used.

The battery feed is fitted with an inline fuse between the battery and the electrical harness, and is usually located immediately outside the battery compartment or within 500mm of the battery.

The maximum rating of this fuse is 20A per battery. If a single battery is fitted to a motorhome, this fuse may be increased to 30A, however if two batteries are fitted each battery should be fused at a maximum of 20A.

3.5.2

Installation & Removal

Always disconnect the 230v mains supply and turn the PSU green charger switch to the off position (button out) before removing or installing the battery.

7-20

CONNECTION OF SERVICES

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. Crocodile clips must not be used.

WARNING: Explosive gases may be present at the battery. Take care to prevent flames and sparks in the vicinity of the battery and do not smoke.

3.5.3

Operation / Servicing

Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary to remove the battery other than for routine inspection of the terminals and “topping up” of the battery fluid where applicable. Please see instructions supplied with the battery.

Note: Do not over discharge the battery. One of the most common causes of battery failure is when the battery is discharged below the recommended level of approximately 10v. Discharging a battery below this figure can cause permanent damage to one or more of the cells within the battery.

To prevent over discharge, the EC500 system incorporates a battery protect circuit that warns the users and then disconnects the batteries when they fall below set values.

If the power is turned on and the leisure battery level falls below 9V a warning beep will be heard and information will be shown on the screen. To cancel the warning, press the select button.

If the power is turned on and the vehicle battery level falls below 10.9V a warning beep will be heard and information will be shown on the screen. If no action is taken the system will switch over from the vehicle battery to the leisure battery. To cancel the warning, press the select button.

These warnings will not be repeated unless the power switch is turned off and on again. This is to ensure the warning does not become a nuisance.

Power is turned off

This cut off level is designed to protect the vehicle battery from over discharge. The

10.9V level ensures there is sufficient power in the battery to run the vehicle electronics and start the vehicle. This cut off only applies to power drawn from the battery by the leisure equipment; it will not protect the battery if you leave vehicle circuits switched on, such as the road lights.

This is an emergency cut off level to protect the battery from severe damage. You should not rely on this cut off level during normal operation, but manage your power consumption to a discharge level of 10V.

This cut off only applies to power drawn from the battery by the leisure equipment that is controlled by the control panel power switch; it will not protect the battery from discharge by permanently connected equipment.

7-21

CONNECTION OF SERVICES

3.6

Solar Charge Management

The EC500 PSU incorporates a built-in solar charge management feature, which will control the input from a solar panel (when fitted, maximum rating 120W). Depending on the charge state of the batteries, the solar power will be directed to the required battery, and continuously monitored to ensure optimum operation. For this system to operate intelligently, the shutdown button should be left switched on. If the shutdown button is turned off then the solar panel will charge the leisure battery only.

3.7

Water System Operation

The control panel pump button operates the internal (onboard) water pump. This pump will draw water from the internal (onboard) water tank.

The water tanks (fresh & waste) incorporate a level warning feature to warn the user when the fresh water level drops below 25% or when the waste water level reaches 100%.

If the water pump power is turned on and the fresh water level drops to below 25% a warning beep will be heard information will be shown on the screen. To cancel the warning, press the select button.

If the water pump power is turned on and the waste water level rises to full (100%) a warning beep will be heard and information will be shown on the screen. To cancel the warning, press the select button.

These warnings will not be repeated unless the water pump power switch is turned off and on again. This is to ensure the warning does not become a nuisance.

3.8

Frost Protection

On vehicles fitted with water tank frost protection, the EC480 control panel frost protect switch can be used to turn the feature on or off.

Note: This feature is NOT enabled at the time of manufacture.

3.9

Awning Light Operation

The awning light is control by the control panel awning / aux button. The awning light is also linked to the remote door locking. If the doors are locked or unlocked the light will illuminate for a short period of time. This is a dealer configurable item.

3.10 Electric Step Operation

On vehicles fitted with an electric step, this is operated by a button near the entry door. Press and release the button to move the step in or out. One press of the button will move the step out, a further press will move the step in again.

If the engine is started the step will move in automatically, after a short warning buzzer. If this operation fails due to an obstacle or mechanical failure a buzzer will sound continuously to warn that the step is still in the out position, and therefore requires your attention.

The electric step is also linked to the remote door locking. If the doors are unlocked the step will move out, if the doors are locked the step will move in. This is a dealer configurable item, and can be turned off if not required.

Contact site Warden for assistance No or deficient supply from site

Mains Supply reversed?

Reverse Polarity light is illuminated

Generator being used

The reverse polarity light is designed to illuminate when the Live and

Neutral supply has been reversed/crossed over. If the light illuminates there is a problem with the site supply or the cable connecting the supply to your vehicle. The light is designed to work on UK electrical supplies (where the neutral conductor is connected to earth at the sub station). If you are using your vehicle outside the

UK this light may illuminate when no fault exists. In these cases consult the site warden for advice.

‘The Reverse Polarity warning light is on when using my Generator’.

This is a normal side effect when using some types of generator.

Instead of connecting the neutral conductor to earth, some generators centre tap the earth connection making both neutral and live conductors 110V above earth. This 110V difference causes the neon polarity indicator to illuminate. In most cases it is still safe to use the generator, but please consult the generator handbook for further information.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

TECHNICAL DATA

Base Vehicle Data

For all matters relating to the base vehicle, and particularly tyre pressures, refer to the base vehicle instruction book or if in doubt consult your local base vehicle commercial dealer.

Weights, Dimensions and Capacities

Before using your Auto-Sleeper you should be fully conversant with all matters relating to weights. The following definitions should be fully understood and then related to the tabulated base vehicle weight data.

Weights

Details of vehicle weights are found below, and are presented in the manner prescribed in the European Union Masses & Dimensions

Directive 92/21/EEC.

Take care to ensure that heavy loads are stored low down in bed boxes and low cupboards, and distribute weight evenly side to side as far as possible.

Note 1: Please take care to ensure that you have allowed for the masses of all items you intend to carry in the motor caravan, e.g.

passengers, optional equipment, essential habitation equipment and personal effects such as clothing, food, pets, bicycles, sailboards, sports equipment, etc.

Note 2: Warning - Under no circumstances should the maximum technically permissible laden mass of this motor caravan, or its individual axles, be exceeded.

DEFINITIONS

Maximum Technically Permissible Laden

Mass (MTPLM)

The Maximum Technically Permissible Laden

Mass is a figure given by the manufacturer of the base vehicle. It is the combined maximum permitted weight of the vehicle and all of its contents, both inside and out. The

MTPLM is unaffected by the Auto-Sleeper conversion.

Mass in Running Order (MRO)

The Mass in Running Order is defined as the mass of the vehicle equipped to the manufacturer’s standard specification and including the following:

• Driver (assumed to be 75 kg, 11st 12lb)

• Fuel tank - 90% full

• Freshwater tank filled to 90% capacity

• LPG gas storage tank(s) filled to 90% capacity

• Water heating system - 90% full

• Mains electricity connection cable

All other optional equipment whether on the base vehicle or part of the conversion is excluded from the mass in running order.

Mass of the User Payload

The Mass of the User Payload is the difference between the MPTLM and the

MRO. It is the vehicle’s carrying capacity for everything placed in or on it, including the passengers (but excluding the driver who is already included in the MRO).

Everything listed in italics below must be subtracted from the payload.

Mass of the Conventional Load

The Conventional Load is the mass of the passengers carried and must be subtracted from the payload. The “EU standard person” weighs 75kg (11st 12lb). The user should adjust the figure according to the mass and number of passengers carried. Motorhome

Manufacturers designate passenger seats as being suitable for travelling, and provide seat belts accordingly. Multiplying the weight of the passengers by the number of passengers gives the Conventional Load. Please note that a driver (at 75kg, 11st 12lb) is included in the MRO.

8-1

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Essential Habitation Equipment

The Essential Habitation Equipment is defined as the items of fluids required for the safe and proper functioning of habitation equipment. As the gas and freshwater are now included in the MRO, by definition, this means the mass of water in the toilet system flush tank.

This must be subtracted from the User

Payload.

Auto-Sleepers include the low voltage (230V) connection cable and the habitation battery in the mass in running order.

Options, Personal Effects and

Accessories

When options, personal effects and accessories are fitted or carried the mass must be subtracted from the user payload. All optional equipment whether on the base vehicle or part of the conversion is excluded from the mass in running order. Personal effects are any items of any description carried by the vehicle.

To determine accurately if a vehicle is exceeding one of its maximum technically permissible laden masses, the vehicle with all of its load (that is passengers, contents, luggage and external load) should be weighed on a weighbridge.

You may wish to allocate the user payload to suit your own use. For example, to increase the available payload, the water system may be emptied. If the vehicle is not being used for camping the gas bottles can be left at home to increase the mass available for other items.

Gross Train Mass (GTM)

If you are towing a trailer with your Auto-

Sleeper, the Gross Train Weight is the maximum allowable weight of the towing vehicle, the trailer and the mass of every item carried. The GTM is given by the base vehicle manufacturer and is unaffected by the

Auto-Sleeper conversion. Please check your driving licence to ensure you are allowed to drive a vehicle combination at this weight.

Maximum Braked Trailer Mass (MBTM)

This is the maximum allowable weight of the trailer together with its load, provided the trailer has a braking system, which complies with European trailer braking legislation. The

MBTM is given by the base vehicle manufacturer and is unaffected by the Auto-

Sleeper conversion.

MTPLM of the Axles

The individual axles also have MTPLM’s. The sum of the two axle MTPLM’s usually exceeds the overall vehicle MTPLM, but this does not mean you can load each axle to its maximum, because doing so would exceed the overall MTPLM of the whole vehicle.

Separate operating instructions are supplied with this equipment.

9-1

COOKER

Your vehicle is fitted with a Thetford cooker, either a Caprice Mk III or a Spinflo hob and combined Duplex oven and grill.

Operation

Ensure the gas is turned on.

In the event of a gas smell turn off at the cylinder and contact your nearest Auto-

Sleeper dealer. The burners on these appliances have fixed aeration and no adjustment is required. Depending on the gas being used, the burners should flame as follows:

Propane: The flames should burn quietly with a blue/green colour with no sign of yellow tips.

Butane: Normally, on initial lighting, a small amount of yellow tipping will occur and then slightly increase as the burner heats up.

Using the Hob gas burners

Cautions:

• Glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn off all burners before shutting the lid.

• Spillage on the surface of the lid should be removed before opening the lid.

• The glass lid has a tendency to snap shut towards the end of lowering. This is caused by the travel lock action of the hinges as it is activated. Take care to avoid trapping fingers when closing the lid.

• Although each burner will support pans from 10 to 22 cm, care should be taken not to overload the appliance as reduced performance will result.

• When using small pans, the flames should not spread beyond the base of the pan as this will reduce the efficiency of the burner.

• Avoid old or mis-shapen pans as these may cause instability.

Each burner is controlled individually and is monitored by a flame supervision device in the event of the burner flame going out, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite for at least one minute.

FITTED EQUIPMENT

To light the burner, push in the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to full rate position and press the ignition button. Keep the knob depressed for approximately 15 seconds to allow the flame supervision probe to reach temperature. Should the flame go out when the knob is released, wait for a minute and repeat the procedure holding the knob depressed for slightly longer.

OFF

FULL

RATE

LOW

RATE

For simmering turn the knob further anticlockwise to the low rate position.

To turn off, rotate the knob fully clockwise until the line on the knob is aligned with the mark on the control panel.

Using the Electric Hotplate (Caprice only)

Ensure the electricity is switched on.

Caution: Glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn off the hotplate and allow it to cool before closing the glass lid.

Caution: Remove all spillage from the surface of the glass lid before opening.

The hotplate control is numbered from 1 to 6.

To turn it on, rotate the knob either clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required position.

Position 1 is the coolest setting. To turn the hotplate off, rotate the knob until the line or pointer on the knob lines up with the zero on the control panel.

The hotplate is a sealed construction and transfers heat through conduction. For maximum efficiency a correctly sized pan with a flat heavy gauge base should be used.

Pan size should be the same or slightly larger

(up to 1in/2.5cm oversize).

Before using your hotplate for the first time, we recommend that you prime it and then season it. To prime it, switch on the hotplate for a short period, without a pan, to harden

9-2 and burn off the coating. Use a medium to high setting for 3-5 minutes. A non toxic smoke may occur during this process. Allow it to cool, then season.

To season, first heat the hotplate for 30 seconds on a medium setting, then switch off. Pour a minimal amount of unsalted vegetable oil onto a clean dry cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface. Wipe off any excess oil, then heat the hotplate on a medium setting for one minute. Occasional seasoning will help to maintain its appearance.

CAPRICE GRILL & OVEN

GRILL

Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children should be kept away.

1.

Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn off at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.

2.

Remove all accessories and packing that may be in the grill including any plastic coating that may be protecting the grill cavity surfaces. Clean the interior before using it for the first time, use soap and water and rinse carefully.

3.

To light: Open door, push in the control knob and turn to full rate. Hold a lighted match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. The burner should ignite and the control knob should be held in for 10-15 seconds before release. If the burner goes out, repeat procedure holding control knob for slightly longer.

4.

For models fitted with spark ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be ignited by depressing the ignition button which is located on the fascia. Ignition must be carried out with the door open, and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds the control knob should be released and the grill left for at least one minute before a further attempt to ignite the burner.

5.

Please note the grill must only be used with the door open.

FITTED EQUIPMENT

6.

On first use of the grill, it should be heated for about 20 minutes to eliminate any residual factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to the food being cooked. A non-toxic smoke may occur when using for the first time so open any windows and turn on mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.

7.

Although the grill does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a few minutes preheat be allowed.

8.

Flame Failure Device (FFD): the grill burner is fitted with a flame sensing probe which will automatically cut off the gas supply in the event of the flame going out. In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

9.

It is normal for the flames on this burner to develop yellow tips as it heats up, particularly on Butane.

10. Variation in cooking can be achieved by using the control knob to regulate the heat setting. In addition, the grill pan trivet can be reversed or removed to give a greater choice of grilling height. Always use the highest trivet position for fast toasting.

11. To turn off: turn the control knob until the line on the control knob is aligned with the dot on the control panel. Always make sure the control knob is in the off position when you have finished grilling.

Set control knob to approximately gas mark 5 and heat the oven door for about 30 minutes to eliminate any residual factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to the meals being cooked. A nontoxic smoke may occur when using for the first time so open any windows and turn on mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.

5.

Although the oven door does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a 10 minute preheat be allowed. The oven should be up to full temperature in about

15-20 minutes.

FITTED EQUIPMENT

Note: The following points are common to both cookers.

Oven temperature control

The temperature in the oven is controlled by a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over the range 130 deg C to 240 deg C.

Approximate temperatures for the settings on the control knob are shown in the following table. The temperatures indicated refer to the centre of the oven and at any particular setting the oven will be hotter at the top and cooler towards the base. The variation between the top and centre, and centre to bottom is approximately equivalent to one gas mark. Good use can be made of the temperature variation in that several dishes requiring different temperatures may be cooked at the same time. In this way maximum benefit can be obtained from the gas used to heat the oven. Care should be taken not to overload the oven, adequate spacing being used to allow free circulation for heat.

Cooking guidelines

IMPORTANT - The pan supplied with the oven is multifunctional, for use in grill and oven. The handle design allows for removal or insertion whilst the pan is in use. Always remove the handle when in use.

Larger items may adversely affect the circulation and heat distribution. Best results will be obtained by the shelf positions in this guide. It is not necessary to preheat the oven but advisable for a range of dishes. The oven is capable of full temperature in 15-20 minutes.

Most cookery books give details of the shelf positions and gas mark settings for each recipe. If in doubt about a recipe you intend to use, study the recipe carefully then find a similar dish in our guide and use our shelf position and gas mark setting recommendation. Shelf positions are from the top down. When roasting with aluminium foil care must be taken that the foil does not impair circulation or block the oven flue outlet.

Important: Always ensure food is properly cooked prior to serving.

allow the oven to heat before using for the first time, in order to expel any smells before the introduction of food.

clean the appliance regularly.

Do

Do

Do

remove spills as soon as they occur.

always use oven gloves when removing food shelves and trays from the oven.

check that controls are in the off position when finished.

Do not allow children near the cooker when in use. All outer surfaces will get hot when in use.

Do not allow fats or oils to build up in the oven trays or base.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surfaces of the appliance.

Do not under any circumstances use the oven as a space heater.

Do not put heavy objects onto open grill and oven doors.

Leaks

If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder

IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape.

Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air, any escaping gas will therefore collect at low level. The strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be detected. Check that the gas is not escaping from an unlit appliance. Never check for leaks with a naked flame, leak investigation should be carried out using a leak detector spray.

WINDOW BLINDS

Seitz concertina blinds and flyscreens are fitted to the windows in your motorhome.

The flyscreens pull down from the top, the concertina blinds up from the base and a combination of both may be achieved by clipping both units together in the centre to adopt the required position. It should be remembered that both the flyscreens and concertina blinds are relatively delicate and those in the living area should be treated with care. They should be kept in a dry and dustfree state, it is advised that the mechanisms are only lightly lubricated when they become a little stiff and inoperative - otherwise no maintenance is needed.

The concertina blinds are manufactured from a paper type material and thus cleaning solvents and aerosols should be kept well clear from them.

Unlike Seitz roller blinds, they will not need to be re-tensioned - any problems that should arise should be addressed to your Auto-

Sleeper dealer or the Motorhome Service

Centre at Willersey.

TELEVISION & AERIAL

Your vehicle is ready for connection of a TV set to the standard Teleco mast aerial via a signal booster located in the wardrobe.

Another TV connection point is located on the lounge side of the cocktail cabinet, also ready wired to the booster.

In addition, the vehicle is pre-wired to enable a satellite receiver to be fitted at a later date.

To facilitate this there are DVD AV sockets adjacent to the TV points connected to similar ones in one of the overhead lockers above the TV, ready for a de-coder to be connected.

There is also an external cable input socket, on the offside of the vehicle, with two input sockets. One is for connection of a satellite dish and is wired to the de-coder connection point in the overhead locker.

The other is for connection of a digital TV external aerial and is wired directly to the TV points.

Note that the ‘SAT’ connection on the TV points must be used to connect the TV when this input is used.

Note: If your vehicle is fitted with an Avtex

TV/DVD then please note the following points:

• For detailed operating instructions and specification please refer to the literature supplied with the vehicle.

• Avtex operate a helpline for users experiencing problems with any of their products. Whether it is difficulty with tuning, setting up the equipment or a physical malfunction then contact their

Service Department on 02920 020279

(normal business hours).

They will be able to talk to you through many issues, but if there is still a problem they will arrange for a courier to collect your set from any UK postcode (including campsites) for return to their factory overnight. The repaired equipment will normally be despatched the following day for return to the customer.

This service is free during the warranty period. After the warranty has expired the service is still available but there will be a charge.

Warning: If for any reason the TV is removed from the support bracket provided, ensure that when it is re-fitted that only the original screws (or ones of the same length) are used. If longer screws are used they may damage the internal components of the equipment.

FITTED EQUIPMENT

WARM AIR & HOT WATER

HEATING

A Truma liquid gas Combi 4E warm-air heater, with integrated hot water boiler, is fitted and operates on LPG and/or 230V electricity depending on the chosen mode of operation.

In winter operation the heater can be used to heat the room and simultaneously warm water. If only warm water is required, select summer operation.

At a temperature of approximately 3 deg C the automatic frost control safety/drain valve will open and drain the boiler.

Three different options are available for operating the unit.

Gas operation only: Propane/butane for autonomous use.

Electrical operation only: 230V for stationary use on camp sites.

Mixed operation: Gas and electrical operation

- only possible in winter mode.

Winter operation

In winter operation, the unit automatically selects the required power setting according to the temperature difference between the temperature set on the control panel and the current room temperature. When the boiler is filled, the water is automatically heated as well. The water temperature depends on the selected operation mode and the heater output.

All three energy selection options can be used for winter deployment.

With gas operation the unit automatically selects the output level that is required.

Depending on the fuse protection at the camping site, power of 900W (3.9A) or

1800W (7.8A) can be manually selected for electrical operation.

If more output is required (e.g. heating up or low outside temperatures) gas or mixed operation should be selected so that enough heating power is always available.

With mixed operation, 230V electrical operation is preferred if the power requirement is low (e.g. for maintaining the room temperature). The gas burner is not enabled until the power requirement is higher, and is the first to switch off during heat-up operations.

Summer operation (boiler operation only)

Gas operation or 230V electrical operation is used for hot water preparation. The water temperature can be set to 40 degºC or 60ºC.

With gas operation the water is heated at the lowest burner setting. Once the water temperature is reached, the burner switches off.

Depending on the fuse protection at the camping site, power of 900W (3.9A) or

1800w (7.8A) can be manually selected for electrical operation.

Note: Mixed operation is not possible. With this setting the unit automatically selects electrical operation. The gas burner is not enabled.

Before operation

Note: Heating is possible without restrictions with gas, electrical and mixed operation, with or without water.

Check to make sure the cowl is unobstructed.

Be sure to remove any covers that may be present.

Turn on the gas cylinder and open quickacting valve in the gas supply line.

Check whether the power supply fuse protection on the camp site is adequate for the 900W (3.9A) or 1800W (7.8A) that have been selected using the power selector switch.

The cable drum must be fully unwound in order to prevent the power cable from overheating.

FrostControl (safety/drain valve)

t = Rotary switch position “Operation” u = Push button position “Closed” w = Push button position “Drain” x = Drainage muff (led outside through floor of vehicle)

FrostControl is a currentless safety/drain valve. When there is a danger of frost, it automatically drains the contents of the boiler through a drainage muff. If excessive pressure is present in the system, pressure will be automatically intermittently equalised through the pressure relief valve.

Closing the drain valve

Check if the rotary switch is set to

“Operation” (position t), meaning that it is parallel to the water connection and engaged.

Close the drain valve by activating the push button. The push button must engage in position (u) “closed”.

It can be manually closed with the push button (position u) and then the boiler filled only when the temperature at the drain valve is above approximately 7ºC.

Truma can provide a heating element (part no. 70070-01) as an accessory; it is inserted into FrostControl and warms it up to about

10ºC when Combi is switched on. This means that the boiler can be filled after a shorter time, irrespective of the temperature in the installation compartment.

Automatic opening of the drain valve

When the temperature is below approximately 3ºC at the drain valve, the drain valve will open automatically, the push button moves out (position w) and the water in the boiler drains out through the drainage muff (x).

9-14

Manual opening of the drain valve

Turn the rotary switch by 180º until it engages, whereby the push button moves out (position w). The water in the boiler drains out through the drainage muff (x).

The FrostControl drainage muff (x) must be free of contamination (slush, ice, leaves, etc.) at all times so the water can drain out easily.

No warranty given for frost damage.

Filling the water heater

Check if the rotary switch for the drain valve

(FrostControl) is set to “Operation”, meaning that it is parallel to the water connection and engaged.

Close the drain valve by pushing the push button until it engages.

Note: When the temperature at FrostControl is below about 7ºC, first switch on the heater to warm the installation compartment and

FrostControl. After several minutes, when the temperature at FrostControl is above 7ºC, the drain valve can be closed.

Switch on power for water pump (main or pump switch).

Open hot water taps in kitchen and bathroom

(set pre-selecting mixing taps or single-lever fittings to “hot”). Leave the fittings open for as long as it takes for the boiler to displace the air and fill up, and the water to flow without interruption.

Note: If just the cold water system is being operated, without using the water heater, the heater tank also fills up with water. To avoid frost damage, the boiler must be drained through the drain valve, even if it was not operated.

WARNING: When connecting to a central water supply (rural or city mains), a pressure reduction valve must always be installed to prevent pressures above 2.8

bar from developing in the water heater.

FITTED EQUIPMENT

Draining the water heater

Switch off power to water pump (main or pump switch).

Open hot water taps in kitchen and bathroom.

In order to check the water that is flowing out, place an appropriate container (capacity 10 litres) beneath the drain valve (FrostControl) drainage muff (x).

Turn the rotary switch on the drain valve by

180º until it engages, whereby the push button moves out and the drain valve opens.

Check whether all of the water in the boiler

(10 litres) has been drained into the container via the drain valve.

There shall be no claims under guarantee for damage caused by frost!

Maintenance

Only original Truma parts may be used for maintenance and repair work!

The materials in the device that come into contact with water are drinking water safe.

Bio-film, deposits and limescale must be removed using chemicals to protect the unit from infestation by micro-organisms. Only

Chloride-free products must be used in order to prevent damage to the unit.

The effectiveness of the use of chemicals to combat micro-organisms in the unit can be increased by heating the water in the boiler to

70ºC at regular intervals.

To do this, on the control panel, select Gas

Operation, then select Summer Operation

60ºC.

Note: Once the water in the boiler has reached a temperature of 60ºC, the burner will switch off. The unit must stay switched on for at least 30 minutes and no warm water may be removed. The residual heat in the heat exchanger will heat the water up to

70ºC.

Fuses 12V

The fuse is in the electronics beneath the connection cover. Replace the unit’s fuse only with an identical fuse.

Device fuse: 10A - slow - (T 10A).

Fuses 230V

CAUTION: The fuse and the power supply lines must only be replaced by an expert!

WARNING: The unit must be disconnected from the mains (all poles) before opening the electronic housing lid.

The fuse in the power electronics (16) beneath the electronic housing lid.

This fine fuse must always be replaced with a fuse of the same type: 10A, slow, interrupting capacity “H”.

- +

230V The refrigerator is powered by the mains.

12V The refrigerator is power battery of your vehicle.

Gas The refrigerator is powered by the gas connection of a gas bottle.

FITTED EQUIPMENT

Always use the gas connection or mains voltage to start up and cool. Operating on

12V is only effective while the engine of the vehicle is running.

If the ‘auto’ function on the refrigerator is selected, but no source is available, a light in the on/off switch blinks red.

The performance of the refrigerator, by operation on 12V, is dependent on the thickness and length of the wiring and the overall installation of the vehicle.

When selecting gas, the flame should be ignited within 30 seconds. If the system fails, restart the refrigerator and select the gas source again.

From about 1000m above sea level problems of a physical nature can occur when lighting the gas. This does not mean that the refrigerator is not working properly.

Selecting cooling level

Lowest cooling level

After switching on the refrigerator, push the cooling level button several times (as illustrated). Push until the desired level is selected.

Highest cooling level

Your refrigerator meets the climate class SN requirements according to EN ISO

15502:2005 at a temperature of 10ºC to

32ºC.

We advise to set the refrigerator on cooling level 3, with an ambient temperature between

15ºC and 25ºC. A higher temperature needs a higher cooling level, a lower temperature a lower level.

To improve the cooling performance of your refrigerator in high temperatures,

Thetford advises to install the Ventilator Kit. It helps to detract the warm air quicker to the vents. The ventilator kit is suitable for all

Thetford refrigerators.

Control of optional extras

Anti condensation

Push on the anticondensation button. The symbol on the control panel will light up.

9-19

Use of refrigerator compartment

You can organise your refrigerator as desired by moving the storage shelves and door bins in height.

Make sure the door can still be closed after reorganising shelves and bins.

Moving storage shelves

Turn the plastic clamp on the right side of the storage shelf upwards (as illustrated). Lift the right side a bit, and move the storage shelf to the desired position.

First place the left side of the storage shelf in the refrigerator wall, then the right side in the corresponding groove.

Turn the plastic clamp downwards. Your storage shelf is fixated again.

Moving door bins

Push a door bin out of the locking with both hands (as illustrated).

Place this door bin back in the desired position and push it back on the locking. The door bin is fixated again.

Organising food

After a minimum of 8 hours of cooling, the food can be placed in the refrigerator. Do not completely cover the cooling fins with food, to preserve an optimal performance of the refrigerator. Make sure air can still circulate around the fins.

FITTED EQUIPMENT

To prevent your refrigerator from iceformation, always cover liquid products, let warm products cool down before placing them in the refrigerator and don’t open the door longer than necessary.

To reduce the cooling time, store only pre-cooled food in the refrigerator.

To prevent the food from drying out or your refrigerator from odours, store food separately in closed boxes.

Use of freezer compartment

You can use the freezer compartment to keep food frozen or to make ice cubes with the special delivered tray.

Never keep carbonated liquids in the freezer compartment.

If the refrigerator has to perform for a longer period in internal vehicle temperature below 10 o

C, a constant regulation of temperature in the freezer compartment can’t be guaranteed. The temperature can increase and the food may defrost in the freezer compartment.

Making ice-cubes

Fill 2/3 of the ice-cube tray with water and put the tray in the freezer compartment. Make sure you only use drinking water.

Never eat ice-cubes or popsicles directly out of the freezer compartment. This can cause burn wounds.

To fasten the process, make ice-cubes at night, when the refrigerator has more capacity. Place the ice-cube tray in an empty freezer on the bottom and the back.

While driving

In Europe it is only allowed to run your refrigerator on gas while driving, if a gas system with break protection is installed and local regulations are respected.

Because of varying outside conditions during driving, good performance on gas can’t be guaranteed. Therefore Thetford does not advise to run your refrigerator on gas while driving.

Make sure all products in your refrigerator can’t move while driving.

Secure the bottles in the door with the bottle retainer and fixate all food on the storage shelves.

Door lock

When you close and press the door of the refrigerator, the door locks automatically.

While driving, this door lock also secures the door.

Some models have an extra security lock on the bottom of the refrigerator.

To be sure the door will not open while driving, push the black security lock over the pin on the door.

Never let children play or hide in the refrigerator. Children can be trapped and possibly suffocate.

Winter Use

When you are going to use the refrigerator with an outside temperature below 10ºC, install a suitable winter cover (as illustrated).

This cover will protect your refrigerator against too cold air and makes sure the refrigerator will still perform optimally.

Make sure you remove the winter cover again once the temperature is above 10ºC.

It is important to regularly clean the refrigerator for optimal performance. Clean the inside with a soft cloth and a mild household cleaner. Use a wet, soft cloth for the outside of the refrigerator. Make sure the vents on the outside of the vehicle are always dust-tight.

Never clean your refrigerator with soap or agressive, caustic or soda-based cleaning agents.

The loose parts of the refrigerator are not suitable for the dishwasher.

Water through the vents may damage your refrigerator. Therefore install winter covers before washing your vehicle.

Switch off refrigerator

Before defrosting the refrigerator or storing your vehicle, switch off the refrigerator. Push the on/off switch (as illustrated) and hold it for

2 seconds to switch off the refrigerator. All lights will go out.

Defrosting

A layer of ice on the cooling fins will decrease the cooling capacity and durability of your refrigerator. Therefore your refrigerator is provided with an automatic defrost system, which prevents ice formation.

Despite this system, it is also possible to manually defrost your refrigerator on occasion. Remove all food, wrap it tightly in newspaper and put it on a cold place or in a insulated bag. Then open the doors. Put dry towels in the refrigerator to catch the remaining water. When the refrigerator is defrosted, thoroughly dry the inside.

Do not speed up the defrosting process by removing the ice layer with force or sharp objects or by using a hairdryer.

Storage

If you do not expect to use your refrigerator for a longer period, it is important to

9-21 thoroughly empty, defrost and clean the complete refrigerator. Then install the winter cover over the vents, to protect your refrigerator during storage.

To prevent odours and mould in the refrigerator, keep all doors open during storage.

Rotate the hook at door lock 45 degrees and lock it in place by using the strike plate (as illustrated).

Make sure the gas taps of the gas bottle are closed during storage.

Water through the vents may damage your refrigerator. Therefore install winter covers before washing your vehicle.

Disposal

Your refrigerator has been designed and manufactured with high quality materials and components, which can be recycled and reused. The cooling system contains ammonia as the coolant and ozone friendly cyclopentane as the blowing agent in the foam. The refrigerators are free of any CFCs/

HCFCs and HFCs.

When your refrigerator has reached its end of life, dispose the product according to the local rules. Do not dispose the refrigerator with normal household waste. The correct disposal of your old product will help prevent potential negative consequences to the environment and human health.

TOILET

Your vehicle is fitted with a Thetford C200

CWE cassette toilet.

Introduction

The Thetford Cassette C-200 CWE is functional and incorporates modern styling with home like features. The unit is an integral part of the motorhome bathroom.

The Thetford Cassette C-200 CWE is constructed of high quality plastics for durability and has a high gloss finish that is easy to clean and maintain. The unit consists of two sections, a permanently installed toilet system and a slide out waste holding tank - the Cassette.

The toilet section includes a rotatable bowl, a removable seat, and a control unit with a flush button and a waste level warning device. The valve blade handle is located under the bowl.

The cassette is located underneath the toilet and is removed for emptying from the outside of the vehicle through an access door. A rotating pour-out spout, automatic holding tank vent, air release valve, valve blade, carrying handles and hand grips are incorporated into the cassette. A sliding cover guarantees optimum hygiene.

Features:

Removable seat and cover.

Rotatable bowl.

Valve blade handle: opens and closes valve blade manually.

Flush button: activates flush.

Waste level indicator: indicates when cassette requires emptying.

Rotating pour-out spout: makes emptying cassette easy and convenient.

Automatic cassette vent: vents the cassette when inserted in the toilet. This prevents over pressure in the cassette.

Upper-carrying handles: makes carrying and emptying easy.

Sliding cover: opens and closes automatically when sliding the cassette in and out. Guarantees optimal hygiene.

Valve blade and blade seal.

9-23

Vent button: vents the cassette to avoid splashing while emptying.

Handgrip.

Valve blade opener.

Access door. Locks from outside the motorhome.

Preparing for use

Following is a brief illustrated step by step guide. For more detailed information please refer to manufacturers literature.

CAUTION (step 4): Warmer weather or longer intervals between emptying the waste tank may require additional toilet fluid. Use only Thetford toilet fluid to achieve the best results. Never add toilet fluid directly into the toilet bowl.

CAUTION (step 14): Do not depress air release valve button until pour out spout is facing downwards.

Emptying the waste holding tank

The cassette capacity is approx. 17 litres and the tank should be emptied when the wastelevel warning device comes on. This will occur when the tank contains more than 15 litres of waste.

Note: After the warning device comes on, the capacity remaining is equal to approximately

5 uses.

CAUTION: Do not allow the waste cassette to become overfilled. See trouble shooting section for emergency emptying procedure.

Note: Some vehicles are equipped with water pumps supplying high water pressure, which can result in having an over flushing problem. It is possible to use the flow restrictor supplied with the toilet (packed together with the instruction manual) by installing it in the water tube at the connection level.

Rinse the holding tank with clean water.

Prepare the cassette for use again by following steps 1 to 6. Replace the holding tank and lock the access door.

FITTED EQUIPMENT

1 - Open access door and pull retaining

clips upward.

4 - Remove dosage cap and pour-out spout. Add toilet fluid in the dosage cup.

Add approx. 2L of water through spout to cover tank bottom. Replace cap, return pour-out spout to original stored position.

2 - Remove cassette by pulling straight out. When cassette hits stop, tilt downwards

5 - Slide the holding tank into position through access door. Never force insertion as this can cause damage to the toilet.

3 - Position tank vertically and swivel pour-out spout upwards.

9-24

6 - Make sure the retaining clip secures the holding tank. Close and lock the access door.

7 - Open water fill door and add 50ml.

of Aqua Rinse. Then fill the tank with fresh water using a jerry can or hose.

Tank capacity is 7 litres.

10 - After use, open the blade, by pushing the blade handle in an anticlockwise direction and press the flush button.

8 - Turn the bowl into the most comfortable position, when necessary.

11 - After flushing, close the blade by pushing the blade handle clockwise. The toilet may also be used with the valve blade open, which allows the waste to pass directly into the holding tank.

9 - Before using the toilet, we recommend to add some water to the bowl by pressing the flush button.

Release button to stop.

9-25

12 - Open access door and remove holding tank. The holding tank can only be removed when valve blade is closed.

FITTED EQUIPMENT

13 - Carry the holding tank to a normal household toilet or authorised disposal point. Place holding tank in vertical position and rotate pour-out spout upwards.

14 - Remove measuring cap. Grasp unit by upper carrying handle nearest pour-out spout. Place other hand on upper rear hand grip so that the vent button can be depressed with thumb while emptying. This ensures a smooth outflow of tank contents.

Winterising/Storage

The Thetford Cassette C-200 CWE is easily winterised for storage. If the toilet is connected to a separate water tank, drain the tank. When the motorhome water tank is empty, press the flush button until the water stops flowing. Empty the cassette. If the toilet is connected to a central water tank, open the electric valve by pushing the flush button while draining the water supply system of the motorhome. Empty the cassette. Leave the blade of the cassette open. Do not replace cap on spout, this helps to keep the cassette dry.

Cold weather use

The cassette can be used in cold weather when the motorhome is heated. When the vehicle is not heated for more than a day (or a night), winterise the cassette.

High Altitude and hot weather use

Changes in altitude during driving, and large temperature variations give no problems as long as the cassette is inserted into the toilet.

The automatic cassette vent will depressurise that tank when there is over or under pressure. High temperatures may require additional Thetford toilet fluid.

Cleaning and maintenance

To clean the seal and blade, the use of

Thetford bathroom cleaner and rinse with water is recommended. Alternatively, use a luke warm solution of diluted washing up liquid. Do not use household cleaners as they may damage the seals and other toilet parts.

Dry the seal and blade thoroughly and spray economically with silicone spray, alternatively use olive oil. Do not use Vaseline or other vegetable oil products.

The toilet bowl, seat, cover and the exterior of the toilet unit and cassette can be cleaned with a mild detergent/water mixture.

15 - Once the pump has been cleared of water place appropriate size container under the drain plug. Empty any remaining water from the fresh water tank by taking out the drain plug.

Clean the seals and lubricate them where appropriate after drying.

9-26

FITTED EQUIPMENT

Toilet unit malfunctions

Contact your dealer or a Thetford Service

Centre.

We advise draining the fresh water tank prior to travelling. Antifreeze should not be required if the motor home is heated. If you do wish to use antifreeze, brands containing the following properties may be used in the fresh water tank:

* Ethylene glycol

* Mono-Ethylene glycol

* Propane-diol

* Glycerol

* Ethane-diol

* Glycol

Never use alcohol based antifreeze, i.e.

Methanol, Ethanol, and Iso-propanol.

ELECTRIC STEP

An electrically operated rear step is fitted, which is operated by the switch located adjacent to the entrance door.

Note: When extending the step, hold the switch until the step is completely extended.

NEVER MOUNT THE STEP IF RETRACTED

OR IF NOT FULLY EXTENDED, because then the blocking is not working and the motor can be damaged.

Caution: In the event of the rear step being left extended, a buzzer, positioned behind the dashboard, will sound (when the ignition is switched on) - and the step will self-retract.

The step automatically retracts when the ignition is switched on.

Maintenance

Dirt and frost can prevent the step from operating properly. In this case the moving parts should be cleaned or defrosted. All points of movement are layered in maintenance-free bearings.

Consult manufacturers literature for further maintenance details.

EQUIPMENT ARRANGEMENT

Windows and Ventilation

Double glazed acrylic windows are fitted as standard to all lower caravan windows. These top hinged windows allow excellent ventilation and are secured by locking over centre catches. They may be kept open in a variety of positions by use of the ratchet. To unlock the catch, depress the button in the centre of the handle stays and turn.

The top hinged acrylic windows must be locked closed, or in their intermediate travelling position, whilst the vehicle is in motion.

Ventilation

Your vehicle is fitted with two Remis roof lights, a medium size one above the kitchen area, and a larger one above the lounge. On some models there is also a Seitz Skyview over the cab.

When the vehicle is being driven the roof ventilators should be fully closed. Wind noise may be reduced by closing the night blind.

WARNING: The roof ventilators are designed to flow a certain amount of air even when fully closed. Do not obstruct them - your safety depends on them.

Remis Roof Light

The Remis roof lights incorporate a separate sliding flyscreen and night blind which can operate even if the ventilator is open. To open the large roof light, release the handle and wind until the required position is reached. To open the smaller roof light, release the catch and push upwards until one of the holding positions is reached.

Seitz Roof Light

The Seitz roof light is operated by a rotating handle, which means it can be opened to any required position. It incorporates a separate sliding flyscreen and night blind which can operate even if the ventilator is open.

Insulation

The Broadway is insulated largely in polystyrene, a material with high insulation qualities. This is used in the construction of the floor, body sides, rear panel and ceiling, and contributes greatly to the insulation qualities.

Stainless Steel Sink and Drainer

The stainless steel sink and drainer should only be cleaned with light detergent. Under no circumstances should bleach be used since this will react adversely with the stainless steel and may cause small holes in the metal. Immediately beneath the sink is a slide-out cutlery drawer.

Extra Work Surface

Extra work surface is provided by a slide out flap above the fridge, which is retained in its stowed position by an internal catch. On some models there is also a pull up flap on the lounge side of the fridge cabinet. To close this it is necessary to release both catches simultaneously.

It is not recommended to travel with these worktops extended, nor of course, with anything on them.

Habitation Battery

The battery is a 110AH 12V, low maintenance, leisure battery which should only require attention at the annual habitation service.

If a replacement habitation battery should be required then it is important that the replacement be of the same type and specification as that originally fitted.

WARNING: Switch off all appliances and lamps before connecting or disconnecting the habitation battery.

Electronic Control System/Battery

Charger

A Sargent EC500 Power Control System is fitted to your vehicle. It features a built in intelligent ‘offline’ battery charger, a system monitoring circuit and a digital control panel with scrolling menus. For a full description of this unit including operating instructions and fault finding, refer to the Connection of

Services section.

Electrical - General

The 230V AC sockets fitted to your vehicle are suitable only for medium demand components such as televisions and hairdryers. Safety/overload protection is provided by the MCBs located under the cover on the front of the electrical control box.

An electrical interface adaptor box is located on the bulkhead behind the driver’s seat.

This contains fuses and relays for systems connected directly to the base vehicle electrical system and these are unlikely to require attention from the owner.

At least one 12V socket and one 5V USB charging socket are provided with your vehicle. For their locations, please refer to the Location of Key Facilities Chart.

The mains hook up cable, provided as standard, is stowed beneath the offside settee.

Retrofit Options

Contact either your local Auto-Sleeper dealer or the Motorhome Service Centre, Willersey for further details.

9-43

CARE OF YOUR MOTORHOME

GENERAL

In order to keep your Auto-Sleeper in first class condition, periodic maintenance will be required to both the bodywork, windows, upholstery and other parts of the conversion.

This maintenance should be carried out as follows:

Servicing

Servicing of the conversion is the responsibility of your local franchised Auto-

Sleeper dealer to whom all queries should be referred. Your local base vehicle commercial dealer should carry out servicing of the base vehicle.

GLASSFIBRE BODYWORK AND

ACRYLIC WINDOWS

General Cleaning

At regular intervals, you should wash the fibreglass bodywork with a recognised cleaner for use on fibreglass gel coats.

Should marks remain, use a cleaner with chemical and abrasion agents formulated for use on gel coats.

Discolouration

Fading or discolouration of the gel coat is a natural ageing process caused by ultraviolet light. To overcome this, use a mild abrasive, which removes a thin layer of the discoloured surface. This will restore the bodywork to its original colour and surface lustre. Since discolouration develops gradually, it should not be necessary to carry out this procedure more than every three years. Frequent use of abrasive materials can reduce the thickness of the gel coat, to a potentially harmful extent.

Removing Scratches from Bodywork

Scratches can be removed from both gel and painted surfaces. The method depends upon the depth of the scratch, as care has to be taken to avoid penetrating the paint or gel coat. Very fine, hairline scratches can be removed by rubbing across the line of the scratch with rubbing compound. Slightly deeper scratches should be lightly wet sanded first using very fine (1200 grit or finer) abrasive paper. Rubbing compound will then

10-1 remove the flatting marks created by the abrasive paper. For deep gouge type scratches, where the paint or gel may have been penetrated, you should first seek the advice of your supplying Auto-Sleeper dealer.

Removing Scratches from Acrylic

Windows

All windows, except the chassis cab and

Luton, are manufactured in acrylic. Over time these become scratched and their clarity impaired. An Acrylic Window Polish removes unwanted scratches and blemishes leaving a clear, haze free finish. Minor scratches can be polished out directly.

Cleaning Interior Plastics

Interior plastic parts, such as the shower and wash basin, should only be cleaned with warm soapy water, or non-abrasive cleaners specified as being suitable for use on plastic items.

Recommended Materials

G3 Paste Compound: This is a cutting compound and polish, recommended for use on painted surfaces and GRP. It is ideal for removing the traffic film that builds up on glassfibre coachwork and not only restores it to its former glory, but adds a high level of polish as well.

G10 Extra Fine Grade Liquid: This is again ideal for polishing surfaces and removes swirl marks and very fine scratches. It is less abrasive than G3 yet has the same polish properties and cleans and restores discoloured surfaces. It is ideal for use on dark colours.

Black Top Hand Glaze: This is ideal for use on stains, vinyls, body mouldings and provides a long lasting high gloss finish. It is resistant to car wash and abrasive solvents and is easy to apply. Economical in use, only a small amount is needed to give a very fine finish.

Finishing Cloths: These are very fine grade cloths, woven and thus easily washable that are recommended by Farecia for use with their materials.

The above can be purchased from our

Service Centre, Willerly (01386) 853511.

CARE OF YOUR MOTORHOME

UPHOLSTERY MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Upholstery should be brushed or vacuumed regularly. Fabrics should be wiped every six to eight weeks with a lint free cloth and fabric cleaning fluid. Velour materials may be drycleaned.

Fabric Care

Fabric snags caused by sharp objects such as toys, nails, etc., should be trimmed off immediately. Never attempt to pull them off since this could cause the snag to run.

Whenever possible, avoid exposing the upholstery to direct sunlight which might eventually cause the colour to fade.

Fabrics with a velour type pile finish will develop crush marks in use - this is unavoidable and does not affect the quality of the product in any way.

Stain Removal

A proprietary dry cleaning fluid will remove most household stains. However, stubborn stains, such as coffee, wine or ice-cream may need pre-treatment with a mild soap and distilled water.

Small marks in velour type fabrics can usually be removed by stroking along the pile using a small brush and warm water.

We strongly recommend that before commencing any treatment an inconspicuous piece of material is tested for colourfastness and shinkage. If in doubt, please contact a professional dry cleaning company. Do not apply cleaning solvents to velour piping, otherwise the flock will be removed.

Work Surfaces

Laminated work surfaces are fitted to the tops of all furniture units. Whilst these are hard wearing, hot pans should not be placed directly on these surfaces, since damage may result.

Cut or any other mild abrasive and the surface protected with WD40 or a similar product.

Internal

Do not clean stainless steel fittings, i.e.

splash plate and sinks with bleach since this reacts with the stainless steel and may lead to corrosion.

Furniture

Furniture should be cleaned with a proprietary furniture polish periodically. Any watermarks that may occur on the hardwood edging of the furniture units should be removed by use of fine grade wire wool and furniture wax.

Heavy stains may need to be sanded out and the edging re-polished with a proprietary varnish (Ronseal etc.). The high gloss finish is achieved by using wire wool and wax.

GAS INSTALLATION

All gas vents and flue pipes should be periodically checked for damage and should be kept free from dirt.

Blocking of vents or flues is extremely hazardous and should be avoided at all times.

Gas Appliance Igniters

It is advisable, periodically, to check visually the igniters on hobs, grills and ovens are sparking correctly.

Annual Inspection

The gas installations should be inspected annually by qualified personnel. If in doubt contact your supplying Auto-Sleeper dealer.

Modifications to the gas systems should not take place unless carried out by qualified technicians.

CARE OF YOUR MOTORHOME

SEAT RESTRAINTS

WARNING: In the event of any impact of

25 mph or over in which seat belts have been worn, they must be replaced before the vehicle is used again.

WATER SYSTEM

Fresh Water Tank

At regular intervals, and at least every three months, the fresh water system should be flushed through with fresh water. Furthermore it is advisable that prior to using your Auto-

Sleeper, the fresh water system is thoroughly flushed with fresh water.

Waste Water Tank

Since the waste water tank can hold foreign matter, it should be regularly flushed with fresh water. To prevent odours working back through the shower and sink outlets, flush the waste tank through with a small amount of mild disinfectant.

Depending on the use of the waste tank, it is possible that this will collect solid waste matter, which in some instances may build up and block the waste tank outlet tap. In this case it will be necessary to drop the tank for cleaning. Access is through a large diameter fitting in the tank top. Once removed this will allow the tank to be flushed out in an inverted position and all solids removed.

WINTERISATION

General

This section contains information on the winterisation of your Auto-Sleeper, particularly when you may wish to lay up your vehicle for the winter months.

Water System

The water system should be fully emptied, by opening the drain valve located adjacent to the water heater (see heater section for more details), and the drain taps on both the fresh water tank and waste water tank left in the open position. Likewise, all internal taps should be left open and the water pump run until the last traces of water have come out of the taps. Take the vehicle for a short drive, with all the drain taps open, in order to remove the last drops of water from the tanks and water system. Remove all sink plugs to allow the water system to breathe.

Flush fully the waste water tank to remove any excess debris and waste material.

Flush through again with disinfectant as part of the final drain. Leave drain tap open.

Upholstery

We advise that any detachable upholstery is removed and taken indoors during prolonged winter storage, particularly detachable upper bed mattresses and scatter cushions.

Curtains/Blinds

To prevent uneven bleaching, and possible excess sunlight onto the furniture and fabrics, we recommend that either the curtains or blinds are left drawn.

Refrigerator

Leave the refrigerator door open, on its intermediate lock position; this will allow the refrigerator to breathe and prevent any unpleasant odours in the storage department.

Ventilation

There is fixed upper and lower ventilation in your Auto-Sleeper which is built-in in the interests of safety. There is therefore no

10-3

CARE OF YOUR MOTORHOME need to leave any windows or roof ventilators ajar - indeed the roof ventilators have sufficient fixed ventilation to allow the interior of the vehicle to breathe satisfactorily.

Exterior

Fit, where appropriate, the winter covers to the fridge ventilators. Give your Auto-Sleeper a good wash and polish before laying up, and apply a small film of protective oil to the stainless steel roof rack, ladder and any other external polished metal components.

Electrical

Turn the electrical system off using the

‘Shutdown Switch’ on the front of the control box (see diagram & ‘Activating the System’ in

Section 7). This turns off all the leisure electronics apart from any alarm and tracker power feeds.

Peugeot recommend that if the vehicle is to be parked up for a period of more than one month then it is advisable to disconnect the main vehicle battery. For full instructions on the correct procedure refer to the Peugeot handbook supplied with the vehicle and look for the section covering the battery. If this advice is followed, bear in mind that the remote central locking will not function, although it will still be possible to unlock and lock the doors manually using the key.

To maintain the vehicle battery in good condition it is recommended that it is fully charged prior to storage and then recharged every 3 months.

Windows

Open all windows fully. Check all window seals are intact and shut firmly. Ensure locks and over centre catches are applied as appropriate.

Automotive

Follow the advice laid down by the base vehicle manufacturer. In particular,

• Secure the vehicle using chocks.

Release the handbrake to prevent the brake linings from seizing on.

• Increase the tyre pressure (by approximately 2 bar above the standard pressure) to prevent the tyres from becoming flat.

WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum pressure noted on the sidewall of the tyre.

Alternatively, jack up the vehicle to relieve the load on the tyres.

• Cover the tyres to protect from sunlight, as they will deteriorate rapidly in ultraviolet light. A light proof cover will help to prevent cracking of sidewalls and premature ageing.

• Check coolant for antifreeze protection, correct as required.

• Check windscreen and headlamp cleaning systems for antifreeze protection, correct as required.

SERVICE CHECK FOR MOTOR

CARAVAN BODIES AND

CONVERSIONS

It is recommended that the annual service is carried out by an approved motorhome service centre.

Introduction

This entire section offers guidelines for the checking of a motorhome’s habitation area and to ensure continual compliance with

EN1646-1.

It does not cover any part of the base vehicle, although there may be minor overlapping

(such as tyre pressures, cab seats, internal lights, battery and windows) in a van conversion. The base vehicle must be serviced in accordance with the chassis manufacturer’s instructions.

Reference should also be made to:

• Any owner’s manual or equivalent supplied with the vehicle by the motorhome converter.

• Appliance manufacturer’s instructions.

• Driver’s handbook or equivalent supplied by the chassis manufacturer.

• A vehicle is accepted for service at the dealer’s discretion.

• Any defects, repairs, adjustments, cleaning or lubrication required will be noted on the checklist. The customer’s approval will be obtained before any work is done.

Not all of the equipment mentioned in this manual is fitted as standard to every motorhome.

This guide is published as an aide memoir for dealers. Any work carried out following the check, and the sufficiency of the work in the check itself, is subject to the contract between the customer and the dealer.

Check for its presence. The customer must be advised against its use.

12-3

SERVICE DETAILS

SECTION 7 - ELEVATING ROOFS

Lifting Mechanism

Gas struts or spring struts should be checked for corrosion (particularly on the piston roads of gas struts), smooth operation when operating roof up and down and to ensure that they support the roof when fully up.

Check attachment points of struts to body and roof.

Canvas Side Walls

Check for satisfactory attachment to body and roof.

Check for splits or holes, particularly at fold lines.

Check that the canvas stows satisfactorily when roof is lowered. (A waterproofing check will be done at the request of the customer).

Solid Side Wall

Check sides and end panels fold up and down correctly, that they seal against each other where appropriate and that retaining mechanisms are satisfactory.

Check all hinges for security and freedom from strain.

Locking of Roof

It is important to ensure that, when the roof is in the travelling position, it is safely and positively locked down. Any locking retaining mechanism should be carefully examined.

SECTION 8 - GAS SYSTEMS

Cylinders, Regulators and Feed Hoses

Establish that the cylinder and feed hose is compatible.

Since the introduction of BS EN1949 the gas pressures for Butane (blue) cylinders and propane (red) cylinders have been harmonised across Europe. The gas system pressure is now 30mbar for both gases.

The gas regulator is now fitted as standard equipment by Auto-Sleepers. Your supplying dealer will need to supply you with the correct hose compatible with the cylinder to be fitted.

Check cylinder compartment vents and gas drop hole in floor are free from obstruction.

Check seals on internal doors.

Hose and Piping

Check any flexible hose is of an approved type. Check its condition and any evidence of cracking.

The maximum permissible hose length is

400mm, longer hoses should not be used.

The hose length is the length of the flexible portion of the hose assembly. Do not use external cylinders and or extension hoses.

Check piping for condition, damage and correct support.

Carry out an overall leak test.

Appliances

In general, the checking of gas appliances can be divided into the following:

1. Cleaning.

2. Operation of controls.

3. Correct flame structure.

4. Flues.

5. Flame failure device.

6. Security.

Cleaning

• Where apprpriate, remove cover(s) to gain access to heat exchanger. Clean away any fluff or foreign matter.

Reassemble and test. Clean flame viewing window.

12-4

SERVICE DETAILS

Controls

• Check that all knobs etc. work smoothly and are secure on their spindles. If gas taps require greasing to ease stiffness, use only approved LPG grease. Check that appliances can be brought into service using the normal controls.

Correct Flame Structure

• Check that all pilot flames burn quietly and clearly.

Refrigerator: With the refrigerator gas control turned to maximum, the colour of the flame should be predominantly blue.

Instantaneous Water Heating: The main burner flame should be of even height and blue in colour. A flame burning yellow will allow sooting to occur.

Ovens: The oven flame should burn quietly and be of even height, mainly blue/green in colour. If the gas is propane, the flame will normally develop yellow tips as the burner heats up. If the gas is butane, a small amount of yellow tipping will be seen immediately after lighting, increasing as the burner heats up.

Grill Burners: It is normal for the flames on this type of burner to develop yellow tips as it heats up, particularly on butane.

General: A flame lifting away from the burners is an indication of too high a pressure, although it may happen with grill burners whilst the frets are heating up. A yellow flame will cause sooting and is an indication of too low a pressure. Providing the regulator and piping have been checked and found satisfactory, the above faults should not appear.

Flues:

• Flues should be examined for security of fixing and for correct attachment to appliances and flue terminals. They should be free from damage and corrosion. Check for leakage of flue gases into the vehicle.

Flame Failure Device (FFD):

• Where fitted, FFD should be checked to ensure satisfactory operation. After the appliance has been successfully checked, allow time for the thermocouple to cool. Attempt to relight the appliance by turning it on wihtout pushing in the gas control knob. (Do not override the FFD).

If appliance does not light, FFD is satisfactory.

Security:

• Check appliance is securely fixed to the vehicle/furniture and will be free from rattles. Where applicable, check that water pipes are satisfactorily attached with no sign of leakage.

Protection of adjacent surfaces:

• Check that surfaces adjacent to open flame cooking appliance have adequate protection.

Inspections:

• It is recommended that inspections are carried out by a qualified fitter trained to

GAS SAFE standards.

SECTION 9 - WATER SYSTEM

Before operating the water system, a visual check of the following items may show up an obvious leak source...

Fresh Water Tank/Container

Check condition, fill tank and check for leaks.

Check the external filler and filler pipe to tank.

Check for satisfactory venting.

Check condition and presence of filler cap.

Waste Water Tank

Check drain tap is clear and working.

Check condition and presence of drain hose.

(The water tank will be drained, flushed, cleaned and charged with a measure of toilet fluid/disinfectant at the prior request of the customer).

Pump Filter

When applicable, remove filter and replace.

Check the in-line pump for security and condition. Remove the submersible pump from tank, check condition.

12-5

SERVICE DETAILS

Check pump inlet and outlet are clear and not obstructed.

Check delivery hose and electric cable are secure and satisfactory.

System Check

Operate pump. Check all piping for leaks.

Operate taps and shower. If a hot water system is fitted, it can be checked for leaks etc., using cold water. (Note: Aerated water from tap could be due to a leak on the suction side of the pump).

Waste Water System

With water running through the drain pipes, check for leaks and satisfactory draining of water from sinks etc.

Couplings and Fluids

Check that the appropriate markings are used - blue for fresh water, grey for waste water. Ensure a sealing off cover is supplied for each coupling.

Check that filler positions are designated

“petrol”, “diesel” or “water” as appropriate.

Toilet Waste Tank

Check that any fixed tank intended to receive discharge from a toilet is fitted with either a level or full indicator.

SECTION 10 - ELECTRICAL

SYSTEMS

Extra Low Voltage 12 Volts (excluding vehicle)

Battery/ies:

• Check battery/ies for condition.

• Check connections, wires, fuses and relays appertaining to the habitation electrics.

Wiring:

• Examine all visible wiring.

• Check all connections and joints are sound and satisfactory.

Fuses/Fuse Holders:

• Ensure that fuses and fuse holders used to protect the habitation electrics are satisfactory and that fuse ratings are compatible with the circuit appliances being protected.

Appliances:

• Inspect all appliances for damage, signs of overheating and secure fixing.

Function test all appliances.

Mains 230 Volt System

It is recommended that the inspection and certification of the 230 volt system be carried out by a qualified electrician who is an approved contractor of the NICEIC (National

Inspection Council for Electrical Installation

Contracting) or a member of the Electrical

Contractors Association.

SERVICE DETAILS

AUTO-SLEEPERS SERVICE

CENTRE ANNUAL HABITATION

CHECK

Introduction

It is recommended that every 12 months the habitation side of your motorhome is inspected by qualified technicians. Attached to this brief, is a list of all the points that are checked.

A few customers are of the belief that this check includes rectification of faults. It is stressed that this is not the case, the annual service is a check only of the habitation aspect of the motorhome.

If faults are found, the technician will advise you, the customer, of the fault and the recommended course of action to resolve this.

Servicing is not included in this check.

All facilities are run and tested through their operational envelope. For example, the flame propagation on the refrigerator and other main gas appliances (where visible) is checked. If the flame is burning a wrong colour or burning too far from the jet, we again advise you, the customer, as to how this should be rectified.

We also recommend and are only too happy to arrange for the refrigerator of your Auto-

Sleeper to be checked here at the Service

Centre by a qualified Dometic engineer. In this instance we call upon Leisure Appliances and Repairs of Hereford who come, by appointment, to carry out the necessary work.

The only component that is changed during the course of the annual check is the flexible gas hose, the hose that leads from the bulkhead fitting in the gas compartment to the gas regulator.

A further aspect of the test is a gas pressure test.

You will see also that we check that key components are serviceable (fire extinguishers etc) and furthermore that where appropriate, items are lubricated and checked for serviceability.
