Introduction
1
Only use the vehicle in a technically impeccable condition. Follow the instruc-
tions in the instruction manual.
Malfunctions which impair the safety of persons or the vehicle should be
immediately remedied by qualified personnel.
Have the vehicle's braking and gas systems inspected and repaired by an
authorised specialist workshop only.
Alterations to the body are only to be carried out with the authorisation of the
manufacturer.
The vehicle is designed for the exclusive transport of persons. Luggage and
accessories may only be transported up to the maximum permissible gross
weight.
Observe the test and inspection periods stipulated by the manufacturer.
1.2 Environmental tips
 Be considerate of the environment.
 Remember that: All kinds of waste water and household waste are not to
be disposed of in drains or in the open countryside.
 Only empty the waste water tank and Thetford cassette at disposal sta-
tions, at camping sites or caravan sites, that are especially provided for this
purpose. When stopping in towns and communities, observe the instruc-
tions at caravan sites or ask where there are disposal stations.
 On board, collect waste water only in the built-in waste water tank or – if
necessary – in other containers designed for that purpose.
 Empty waste water tank as often as possible, even when it is not com-
pletely full (hygiene).
If possible, flush out waste water tank and drainage pipe with fresh water
every time it is emptied.
 Never allow the Thetford cassette to become too full. Empty the Thetford
cassette frequently, at the latest as soon as the filling level display lights up.
 Separate household waste according to glass, tin cans, plastic and wet
waste also when on a journey. Enquire at the town or community authority
about disposal points. Household waste is not to be disposed of in waste
paper baskets which are situated at car parks.
 Empty waste bins as often as possible into the containers provided for this
purpose. This helps to avoid unpleasant smells and an accumulation of
rubbish on board.
 When parked, do not allow the engine to run more than necessary. When
running idle, a cold engine releases more contaminants than usual. The
running temperature of the engine is achieved more quickly whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
 Use an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can
also be biologically degraded and only use small doses.
 When staying in towns and communities for long periods, search for
parking areas that are specially reserved for motorhomes. Enquire at the
town or community authority about parking spaces.
 Always leave the parking places in a clean condition.

2.3 Road safety
 The oxygen in the vehicle interior is used up by breathing or the use of
the gas cooker or other appliances. That is why the oxygen needs to be
replaced onaconstant basis. For thispurpose, forcedventilationoptions
(skylights with forced ventilation or mushroom-shaped vents) are fitted
to the vehicle. Never cover or block forced ventilationswith objects such
as e.g. a winter mat. Keep forced ventilations clear of snow and leaves.
There is a danger of suffocation due to increased CO2levels.
 Observe the headroom of the conversion door and the driver's door.
 As far as the fitted appliances (heater, cooker, refrigerator, etc.) and the
base vehicle (engine, brakes, etc.) are concerned, the instruction manuals
are authoritative. It is imperative that they be observed.
 Fitting accessories or special equipment can alter the dimensions, weight
and road behaviour of the vehicle. Some of the parts must be entered in
the vehicle papers.
 Only use wheel rims and tyres which are approved for the vehicle. Informa-
tion concerning the size of the approved wheel rims and tyres is included
in the vehicle documents or can be obtained from the Bürstner dealers.
 Firmly apply the handbrake when parking the vehicle.
 If the maximum permissible gross weight of the vehicle exceeds 4 tonnes,
wheel chocks must be used when parking on gradients. The wheel chocks
are provided as standard for vehicles with a maximum permissible gross
weight exceeding 4 tonnes.
 When leaving the vehicle, it is imperative that all doors, external flaps and
windows are closed.
 Carry a hazard warning triangle and a first-aid kit and/or flashing hazard
warning light when this is required by law.
 When selling the vehicle, hand over all instruction manuals for the vehicle
and the fitted appliances.
 Before commencing the journey, carry out a functional check of indi-
cating and lighting equipment, the steering and the brakes.
 If the vehicle has been stationary for a long period (approx. 10 months)
have the braking and gas systems checked by an authorised specialist
workshop.
 Before commencing the journey and after short interruptions of the
journey, ensure that the entrance step is completely retracted.
 Before commencing the journey, secure the hinged pull-down bed to the
roof using the retaining belt.
 Before commencing the journey, open and secure the shades on the
windscreen and on the driver's and front passenger's windows.
 Before commencing the journey, rotate all swivel seats in the direction
of travel and lock in position. During the journey, the swivel seats must
remain locked in place in the direction of travel.
 Before commencing the journey, remove the television from the support
and store it securely.
