Mold
Mold and mildew spores are present in indoor and outdoor environments. In
order to keep all mold and mildew spores under control, check humidity and
ventilate your caravan regularly. A healthy ventilation should be provided to
control humidity.
Chemical Sensitivity
Immediately after the caravan is purchased, and sometimes after a long period
of inactivity, a strong odor and/or chemical sensitivity may be experienced. It's
not a fault of the caravan. As in homes, many different products are used in
the construction of caravans, such as carpet, linoleum, plywood, insulation,
flooring. In the use of different materials, odor sensitivity is more obvious.
Since the caravan has small living spaces, the air exchange inside is
significantly less than the house.
These products can outgas different chemicals, including formaldehyde, when
new or when exposed to high temperatures and/or humidity. This outgassing,
along with minimal air exchange, can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and
throat, and sometimes headaches, nausea, and various asthma-like
symptoms. The elderly and young children, as well as anyone with asthma,
allergies or lung problems, may be more sensitive to the effects of gassing.
Safety
Passenger Transportation
Since there is no seat belt in the caravan, it should not be traveled in the
caravan while driving in order to balance the weight distribution.
Pull and Weight Distribution
Weight distribution is an important factor when loading your camper before
travelling. An evenly distributed caravan will result in efficient and trouble-free
towing.
In order for the caravan to be able to go out on the road in a healthy way and
not to sway, especially on bends, the center of gravity should be spread inside
the caravan, not on one side.
Swinging Control
Swinging or fishtail is the sideways movement of the caravan caused by
external forces. Excessive rocking of your camper can cause the caravan and
towing vehicle to topple over, resulting in serious injury or death.
Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve handling and stopping. The wheel nuts must
be properly tightened.
Tools and Equipment
Appliances (stove, refrigerator, etc.) and equipment (hot water heater, oven,
etc.) typically run on LPG. LPG is flammable and is under high pressure.
Misuse may cause fire and/or explosion. Be sure to follow all instructions and
warnings in the manual, as well as in the device and equipment specific user
manuals.

Low Voltage
The detector's operating voltage is 12 VDC. The voltage supplied to the
detector in the caravan may drop below 8 VDC minimum. The detector gives
the user a low voltage warning before it reaches this level and gives additional
clear warnings and alarms after the 8 VDC level is reached. However, if the
current power supplied to the unit is below the operating voltage of 8 VDC, the
detector will not detect the gas or protect against dangerous LPG levels.
Note
If a low voltage warning sounds, the detector will need to be reset by
disconnecting the battery before normal operation can occur.
Warning
Activation of this detector indicates the possible presence of LPG which could
cause an explosion and/or fire, resulting in serious injury or death. This
normally indicates a leak in the LPG installation or an LPG device. Extinguish
all open flames, open your windows and doors, and evacuate the unit
immediately. Do not use any electrical switches. Turn off the LPG in your gas
tank(s). Do not re-enter your unit until a qualified repair technician has
corrected the problem and confirmed that the system is safe.
Ventilation
It is very important to ventilate the caravan to reduce exposure to chemicals
from outgassing. Ventilation should be done frequently after purchase and
when temperatures and humidity rise. Note that gas output is accelerated by
heat and humidity. Open windows, vents and doors. Use natural ventilation or
a fan to expel stale air and bring in fresh air. Reducing airflow by sealing the
caravan increases the formaldehyde level in the vehicle's interior air.
Do not smoke
Smoking inside the caravan will damage the caravan and also release other
toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde.
Medical Advice
Questions about the effects of formaldehyde on your health should be
addressed to your doctor or local health department.
Alarms and Detectors
LPG/CO Detector
Please read the entire detector manual before operating the unit. The LPG/CO
detector is located in the kitchen area. LPG is a mixture of gases produced
and sold commercially as fuel for heating and cooking appliances. LPG is
highly flammable and as a result can be explosive when ignited under certain
conditions. LPG is heavier than air and will accumulate near the floor if
confined to aconfined space. The LPG/CO detector is designed to alarm when
propane gas exceeds 10% of the lower explosive limit for more than 30
seconds or when CO gas reaches unsafe levels. The horn will beep
continuously and the red LED will illuminate when propane gas is detected. If
CO gas is detected, the horn will sound 4 quick chirps followed by a 4 second
pause and the red LED will flash quickly. Your LPG/CO detector is directly
connected to your caravan battery and includes a fuse. There is no separate
internal battery. In normal standby mode, the LED indicator will be green.

Warning
It is not recommended to power off the detector during storage. There is a
small heater in the sensor of the device that burns the dirt in the air during
normal usage periods. During power-off periods, impurities may accumulate
on the sensor. When power is restored to the detector, the detector alarm can
activate until the impurities are burned. This may take several hours, during
which time the alarm will be on continuously.
Warning
After 5 years of use, the detector should be replaced. If it is not changed, it
may not alarm. CO poisoning is popularly known as stove poisoning and can
cause death.
Warning
The device is for general domestic, domestic and caravan use. It cannot be
used in workplaces. It does not meet the required OHS rules. It needs a more
sensitive detector especially for groups at risk for CO poisoning (pregnant
women, patients, etc.).
Warnings
- Carbon Monoxide is produced as a result of incomplete combustion of fuels
such as wood, coal, heating oil, paraffin, gasoline, natural gas, propane,
butane.
- Ideally, it is recommended to install a Carbon Monoxide detector in or near
every room where fuel-burning appliances such as room heaters, water
heaters, stoves, grills are located.
- Ensure that the alarm horn can be heard by everyone it is intended to hear.
Seek medical attention if the caravan user is suspected of being affected by
Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
- If the alarm goes off, be sure to investigate the problem. Ignoring the alarm
could result in illness, injury or death. (CO may be present even if nothing is
seen or smelled by the user.)
- When household cleaning materials are used, room spaces should be well
ventilated as this may cause false alarms.

Use of Dynamic Air Suspension (C.D.S.)
Usage Modes:
Road Mode (On-road)
The caravan must be used continuously while in road mode. Set levers to
middle position for use in road mode. Levers in the highest (off-road) mode
are put into road mode before normal travel. The compressor switch must be
on while traveling.
Off-road Mode
It maximizes the vehicle's traction when driving on difficult terrain and rough
roads. Drive mode provides high ground clearance. It is required for use on
rough terrains when necessary, except for long-term use. The distance
between the rim and the fender is adjusted to 70 cm by moving it up and down
thanks to the air valve rod. When the bar is lowered, the caravan also moves
down.
Camp Mode:
When the caravan leaves the vehicle, it is put into camping mode. Make sure
to turn the levers to the right to lower it into camping mode. Air suspension, in
camping mode, the vehicle can be adjusted to thedesired height, left andright,
according to the slope of the terrain.
Setting:
Make sure that all the equipment of the caravan is placed in their standard
positions. Suspension works separately as right and left.
The handles on the left front cabinet of the caravan are turned to the left to
get the highest mode from road mode. (Off-road) (1-2)
When it is turned to the right, it is put into camping mode. It is in road mode
when the levers are in the middle position. (On-road)
Make sure no one is inside the caravan while using the air suspension. Both
bellows should be ideal and in the same position.
Tighten the bellows separately with the help of the clamp to prevent the
setting from changing later. To level the BATU535 on sloping terrain, you can
level it by changing the height of one side.
