Introduction
1.2 Environmental Tips
VBe considerate of the environment.
VRemember that: all kinds of waste water and household waste are not to be disposed
of in drains or in the open countryside.
VOnly empty the waste water tank and Thetford cassette at disposal stations, at camp-
ing sites or in disposal points which are especially provided for this purpose. When
stopping in towns and communities observe the instructions at caravan sites or ask
where there are disposal points.
VOn board, collect waste water only in the built-in waste water tank or – if necessary –
in other containers designed for that purpose.
VDrain waste water tank as often as possible, even when it is not completely full (hy-
giene).
If possible, flush out waste water tank and drainage pipe with fresh water every time it
is emptied.
VNever allow the Thetford cassette to become too full. Empty the Thetford cassette fre-
quently, at the latest as soon as the filling level display lights up.
VSeparate 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.
VEmpty waste bins as often as possible into the cans or containers provided for this
purpose. This helps to avoid unpleasant smells and an accumulation of rubbish on
board.
VWhen 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.
VUse an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can also be bio-
logically degraded and only use small doses.
VWhen staying in towns and communities for longer periods, search for parking areas
which are especially for motorhomes. Enquire at the town or community authority
about parking spaces.
VAlways make certain that your parking place is clean when you leave, even if a mess
was left by someone else.

2.2 General
2.3 Roadworthiness
VEnsure that there is sufficient ventilation. Never cover or block forced ventilations
(skylights) with objects as e. g. a winter mat. Keep forced ventilations clear of snow
and leaves. There is a danger of suffocation due to increased CO2levels.
VObserve the headroom of the conversion door and the driver’s door.
VAs far as the fitted appliances (gas heater, cooker, refrigerator, etc.) and the base ve-
hicle (engine, brakes, etc.) are concerned, the instruction manuals are authoritative. It
is imperative that they be observed!
VFitting accessories or special equipment can alter the dimensions, weight and road
behaviour of the motorhome. Some of the parts must be entered in the vehicle papers.
VOnly use wheel rims and tyres which are approved for the motorhome. Information
concerning the size of the approved wheel rims and tyres is included in the vehicle
documents.
VApply the handbrake when parking the motorhome.
VWhen the maximum permissible gross weight exceeds 4 t, the wheel chocks must be
used when parking on gradients. The wheel chocks are provided as standard for vehi-
cles which have a maximum permissible gross weight exceeding 4 t.
VWhen leaving the vehicle, it is imperative that all doors, external flaps and windows
are closed.
VBring along a warning triangle and first-aid kit in accordance with national regulations.
VBring a flashing warning light in accordance with national regulations.
VWhen selling the motorhome, hand over all instruction manuals for the motorhome
and the fitted appliances.
VBefore commencing the journey, carry out a functional check of indicating and light-
ing equipment, the steering and the brakes.
VAfter the vehicle has been standing for a longer period (approx. 10 months) have the
braking and gas systems checked by an authorised specialist workshop.
VBefore commencing the journey, open and secure the shades on the windscreen and
on the driver’s and front passenger’s windows.

Safety
2.4 Towing
VFactory-set three-point seat belts must be used when attaching children’s seats.
VThe base vehicle is a commercial vehicle (small truck). Adjust your driving technique
accordingly. When driving through underpasses, tunnels, etc. observe the overall
height of the motorhome (refer to the technical data in the vehicle documents).
VIn winter, the roof must be free of snow and ice prior to the commencement of the
journey.
VCheck tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks (see chapter 13). Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre burst. You
can lose control over the motorhome.
VBefore commencing the journey, distribute the motorhome payload evenly (see
chapter 3).
VWhen loading the motorhome and when taking a rest from driving, in order to load lug-
gage or food, for example, observe the maximum permissible gross weight and axle
loads (refer to vehicle documents).
VBefore commencing the journey, close all gas isolator taps and the regulator tap. Ex-
ception: If you plan to use the living area heater during the journey, leave the "Heater"
gas isolator tap and the regulator tap open.
VBefore commencing the journey, ensure that all cupboard doors, the toilet door and all
drawers and flaps are secure. Engage the refrigerator door securing device.
VBefore commencing the journey, close windows and skylights.
VClose all external flaps and fasten flap locks before each journey.
VBefore commencing the journey, fold up steady legs.
VPrior to the commencement of every journey and after a short interruption in the jour-
ney, ensure that the entrance step is completely retracted.
VDuring the initial journey and each time after changing a wheel, re-tighten the wheel
nuts after 50 km (30 miles). Subsequently inspect them at regular intervals in order to
ensure that they are firmly seated. See chapter 13 for tightening torque.
VTyres must not be older than 6 years as the material becomes brittle over time (see
chapter 13).
VWhen using snow chains, the tyres, wheel suspension and steering are subjected to
an additional load. When using snow chains, drive slowly and only on streets which
are completely covered with snow. Otherwise the motorhome may be damaged. The
use of snow chains is subject the legal regulations of the country you are travelling in.
VCare is to be taken when connecting and detaching a trailer.
VNo persons are to be between the motorhome and the trailer during positioning for
connecting and detaching.

2.5 Gas Fittings
2.5.1 General Instructions
VBefore commencing the journey, close all gas isolator taps and the regulator tap. Ex-
ception: If you plan to use the living area heater during the journey, leave the "Heater"
gas isolator tap and the regulator tap open.
VHave the gas fittings repaired or altered by an authorised workshop only.
VHave the gas fittings checked by an authorised specialist workshop according to the
national regulations. This also applies for not registered vehicles. For modifications to
the gas fittings have the gas fittings immeditely checked by an authorised specialist
workshop.
VThe gas pressure regulator and control and exhaust emission evacuations must also
be inspected. Bürstner recommends having the gas pressure regulator no later than
every 6 years.
VIn case of a defect of the gas fittings (gas odour, high gas consumption) there is dan-
ger of explosion! Close regulator tap on the gas bottle immediately. Open doors and
windows and ventilate. Do not smoke; do not ignite any open flames, and do not op-
erate electric switches (starter, light switches a.s.o.). Have the defect repaired by an
authorised workshop.
VOpen a skylight before taking open sources of combustion (gas cooker) into service.
VDo not use the gas cooker for heating purposes.
VIf the motorhome or gas equipment are not used, close the regulator tap on the gas
bottle.
VIf there are several gas devices, each gas device must have its own gas isolator tap.
If individual gas devices are not in use, close the respective gas isolator tap.
VThermocouple must close within 1 minute after the gas flame has extinguished. A
clicking sound is audible. Check function from time to time.
VNo source of combustion (gas cooker, gas heater, boiler, etc.) is to be in operation
when filling the fuel tank, on ferries or in the garage. Danger of explosion!
VThe installed devices are meant for use with propane or butane gas or mixture of
both. The gas pressure regulator as well as all installed gas devices are set for a gas
pressure of 30 mbar.
VPropane gas is capable of gasification up to -42 °C, whereas butane gas gasifies at
0 °C. Below these temperatures no gas pressure is available. Butane gas is unsuita-
ble for use in winter.
VRegularly inspect the gas tube fitted to the gas bottle connection for tightness. The
gas tube must not have any tears and must not be porous. Have the gas tube re-
placed in an authorised workshop no later than ten years after the manufacturing
date. The operator of the gas fittings must see to it that the parts are replaced.
VDue to its function and construction, the gas bottle compartment is a space which is
open to the exterior. In order to enable leaking gas to immediately be dispersed out-
side, the standard forced ventilation is never to be blocked or covered.
VDo not use the gas bottle compartment for storage.
VLock the gas bottle compartment in order to prevent unauthorised persons opening it.

2.5.2 Gas Bottles
2.6 Electrical Fittings
VThe regulator tap on the gas bottle must be accessible.
VOnly connect gas-operated devices (e. g. gas barbecue) which have been designed
for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.
VThe exhaust pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to the chimney and
must be sealed. The exhaust gas pipe must not show any evidence of damage.
VWaste air must be able to leave and fresh air must be able to enter unhindered. For
this reason, no snow walls or aprons must be allowed to lie against the vehicle. Keep
the intake openings under the floor of the vehicle open and clean.
VGas bottles are only to be transported within the designated gas bottle compartment.
VSecure gas bottles in the gas bottle compartment in a vertical position and so that
they are unable to turn.
VClose the regulator tap on the gas bottle before the gas pressure regulator or gas
tube are removed from the gas bottle.
VUse your hands only to connect the gas pressure regulator to the gas cylinder. Do not
use any tools.
VOnly use special gas pressure regulators with a safety valve designed for vehicle
use. Other gas pressure regulators are not permitted and cannot meet the demand-
ing requirements.
VUse the gas pressure regulator defroster if the temperature falls below 5 °C.
VUse only 11 kg or 5 kg gas bottles! Camping gas bottles with a built-in reflux valve
(blue bottle with max. 2.5 or 3 kg content) are permitted in exceptional cases with a
safety valve.
VUse the shortest possible tube lengths (150 cm max.) for external gas bottles.
VCheck the gas tube regularly for wear and tear. Observe the replacement date.
VWhen aluminium gas bottles are used, never block the floor ventilation openings be-
low the gas bottles.
VWork on the electrical fittings should only be carried out by qualified persons.
VPrior to carrying out work on the electrical fittings, switch off all devices and lights,
disconnect the battery and disconnect the 230 V power cable from the mains.
VOnly use original fuses with the values specified in the instruction manual.
VOnly replace defective fuses when the cause of the defect is known and has been
remedied.
VNever bridge or repair fuses.

2.7 Water System
VIf the vehicle is not heated when there is risk of frost, empty the entire water system.
Leave the water taps on in central position. Leave all drain cocks open. This will avoid
frost damage to appliances and to the vehicle.
VWater left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes undrinkable after a
short period. For this reason, rinse the water pipes and the water tank thoroughly with
several litres of fresh water before each use of the vehicle. To do this, open all water
taps. After each use of the vehicle completely empty the water tank and the water
pipes.

3.3.1 Calculating the Payload
The payload (3) is the difference in weight between
zmaximum permissible gross weight (1) in a laden condition
and
zvehicle mass complete (2) in a ready to drive condition.
(1) Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition
The maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition is based on design-related vehi-
cle features and the tire’s bearing capacity.
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer specifies the maximum permissible gross weight
in a laden condition (permissible gross weight).
(2) Mass in a ready to drive condition
The mass in ready-to-drive condition is made up as follows:
- Unladen weight (mass of the empty vehicle) with factory-installed standard equipment
- Driver’s weight
- Basic equipment
Unladen weight includes lubricants such as oils and coolants which have been filled, the on-
board tool set, the spare wheel and a fuel tank which has been filled up to 90 %.
Regardless of the driver’s actual weight, the driver’s mass is always calculated at 75 kg.
Basic equipment includes all equipment and fluids required for safe and proper vehicle use.
This includes:
- Water system filled up to 100 % (water tank and pipes)
- Gas bottles filled up to 100 %
- A full heating system
- A full toilet flushing system
- The mass of power cables for 230 V power supply
- The installation kit for an additional battery if an auxiliary battery can be used
The waste water and sewage tanks are empty.
VPayload calculation is based on part on all-inclusive weights. For safety reasons, the
maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition must not be exceeded.
For your own safety, Bürstner recommends to have your completely laden mo-
torhome weighed on a public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.

Before the Journey
Example for calculating the basic equipment:
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer specifies the mass in ready-to-drive conditions.
(3) Payload
The payload is made up as follows:
- Conventional load (3.1)
- Additional equipment (3.2)
- Personal equipment (3.3)
(3.1) Conventional load
Regardless of actual passenger weight, when calculating the conventional load the manufac-
turer provides for a mass of 75 kg per seat.
The driver’s seat is already included as part of the mass in ready-to-drive condition and must
not be calculated as part of the conventional load.
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer specifies the number of seats.
(3.2) Additional equipment
Additional equipment includes accessories and special equipment. Examples of additional
equipment include:
- Caravan coupling
-Roofrail
-Awning
- Bike or motorcycle rack
- Satellite system
- Microwave oven
Chapter 15 lists the weights of the various items of special equipment; they may also be
obtained from the manufacturer.
Water tank with 120 l 120 kg
Gas bottles (2 x 11 kg gas + 2 x 14 kg bottles)+50kg
Boiler with 12 l + 12 kg
230 V power cable + 4 kg
Installation kit for additional battery + 20 kg
Total = 206 kg
VMore passengers may ride in the motor home than specified in the vehicle documents
if a seat is available for each person and provided the maximum permissible weight in
the laden condition is not exceeded. The fluid containers may be emptied or the gas
bottles may be removed to avoid exceeding the maximum permissible gross weight.
