To change the gas bottles (2 x 11 kg), several steps must be followed to ensure safe handling:
Â
Â
- Set the shut-off valves, behind the flap under the back seat, vertically to close them.
- Go to the trunk and open the gas compartment on the left-hand side:
- First, check that neither of the two bottles contains any more gas. If one has gas you can change the connector to the flask with gas.
- If one or both bottles are empty, close them at the brass-coloured valve.
- Unscrew the connector from the gas bottle by hand (attention: left-hand thread) Make sure the red button on the connector is not pressed in when doing this.
- Loosen the straps around the gas bottle.
- Take the bottle out of the compartment and replace it with a full one.
- Securely fasten the bottle again with the straps.
- Screw the connector onto the gas bottle by hand (note: left-hand thread).
Attention
- Do not use any tools to screw the connector onto the gas bottle, otherwise it may not be possible to unscrew it!
- Be sure to close the shut-off valves and the gas flow while driving!
- Please also note that for safety reasons the gas compartment must not be used as a storage space.
Please note that bottles purchased outside Germany may require an adapter. Here you will find all possible adapters and information about gas suppliers abroad.
