Water ingress test
For the water ingress test your HYMER contract partner checks the complete
construction of your vehicle at all composite locations, windows, skylights,
service flaps and doors for tightness.
Important The performance and the exact adherence to the intervals is decisive for the
continuation of the 6 year weatherproof guarantee. The water ingress test
must be carried out on an annual basis. The interval may be carried out max.
six months before or six months after the date on which the test is due. For
additional information concerning the 6 year weatherproof guarantee, please
refer to the following text. Also your HYMER contract partner will be pleased
to advise you.
Conditions for the HYMER 6 year weatherproof
guarantee
The vehicle vendor gives guarantee for the following:
1. Scope of guarantee
Under certain prerequisites, the vendor guarantees that
zthe necessary prerequisites according to Point 2 are available
zand the buyer has had all impermeability inspections carried out acc. to
Point 3 continuously and on time,
that for the vehicle, for a period of six years, for motorhomes, up to a max-
imum of 100,000 km, with normal use, no rain water will penetrate the body
manufactured by HYMER AG through the connections, bored holes, and
joints in the floor, wheel housing, side wall, front wall, rear wall and roof,
including alcoves.
2. Prerequisites of the guarantee
The guarantee presupposes
zthat the vehicle area that is leaking is in the original condition or, if work
has been carried out on it, then such jobs have been performed exclu-
sively by the vendor or by an authorised HYMER AG dealer or service
centre;
zthat there was no improper handling or overload;
zthat the vehicle was not exposed to environmental pollution which
exceeds that which is normal and permissible,
zthat the HYMER AG care instructions and the operating instructions
were adhered to;
zthat the purchaser immediately handed over the vehicle for remedy of a
detected fault to the vendor or to an authorised HYMER AG dealer or
service centre.
The individual prerequisites will not be considered if they are not the cause
or contributory cause for the leakage. Prerequisite for the enforcement of
the guarantee is that the purchaser reported any leakage detected in the
vehicle or any evidence of dampness indicating this leakage to the vendor
latest 14 days after detection and made available the vehicle for repair, as
far as long this was not unreasonable.

5Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN
Guarantee
3. Annual inspection
The purchaser shall send the vehicle regularly, every year, to the vendor or
to an authorised HYMER AG dealer or service centre for inspection. The
purchaser shall bear the cost of the inspection. The first inspection
must be conducted within the first year after delivery of the vehicle to the
purchaser, however, latest within the first year from the date of initial regis-
tration of the vehicle. The subsequent annual inspections must be con-
ducted by the calendar, corresponding to the latest date for the first
inspection.
If the inspection is carried out six months after expiry of the period at
the latest, then the right to claim under the guarantee remains in
force, otherwise it is invalid. The time for the next inspection shallnot be
postponed by a delayed inspection. The inspections are to be proven by
means of the guarantee stamps pasted into the guarantee booklet, with the
date, stamp and signature from the workshops.
4. Guarantee period
The guarantee period commences with the delivery of the vehicle to the
purchaser, on the date of the initial registration at the latest. It terminates
prematurely when the vehicle is written off or it's capability of use ceases
to exist for other reasons. Work carried out on the vehicle which does not
fall under this guarantee do not extend the guarantee period.
5. Guarantees
Any leakage covered by the guarantee will be remedied by the vendor.
Should the remedy not succeed and the party covered by the guarantee
cannot be reasonably expected to accept additional guarantees provided
by the vendor, then the party covered by the guarantee can have the
leakage remedied by HYMER AG, at the expense of the vendor. No further
claims apply.
The vendor is not required to remedy the leakage when the vehicle is
written off or it's capability of use ceases to exist for other reasons as well
as when the costs for the guarantee work exceed the value of the vehicle
at that time.
A change of ownership has no effect on this guarantee.
6. Other claims
Claims made by the purchaser especially with respect to any performance,
damage claims or warranty and guarantee claims made against the vendor
or claims resulting from product liability are not affected by this guarantee.
As far as the purchaser's duty of disclosure are required as part of this
agreement, they refer exclusively to any claims from this guarantee.
7. Statute of limitations
The claims with respect to the remedying of a leakage falls under the
statute of limitations 6 months after discovery of the leakage or dampness
indicating this leakage, upon expiry of the guarantee period at the latest.

fore, no claims can be made against the manufacturer as a result of the con-
tents ofthis instructionmanual. Theequipmentwhich wasknownand included

1 Introduction
1.1 General
The vehicle is constructed in accordance with the latest technology and the
recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, personal injury may result and
the vehicle may be damaged if the safety instructions in this instruction manual
are not followed.
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. To avoid further damages,
observe the duty to avert, minimise or mitigate loss for the user during faults.
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.
Luggage and accessories may only be transported up to the maximum permis-
sible gross weight.
Observe the test and inspection periods stipulated by the manufacturer.
1.2 Environmental tips
ZThe vehicle comes without a wheelbrace and vehicle jack. We suggest you
obtain a commercially available wheelbrace before you first use your car-
avan, in case of an emergency. If no AL-KO vehicle jack (special equip-
ment for AL-KO chassis) is present, obtain a conventional commercial
scissor-type jack or an hydraulic vehicle jack, in order to have it ready in
the case of mishap or emergency. Our authorised dealers and service cen-
tres will be happy to advise you.
ZBe considerate of the environment.
ZRemember that: All kinds of waste water and household waste are not to
be disposed of in drains or in the open countryside.
ZOn board, collect waste water only in the waste water tank or – if
necessary – in other containers designed for that purpose.
ZOnly empty the waste water tank and sewage tank at disposal stations,
camping sites or caravan sites especially provided for this purpose. When
stopping in towns and communities, observe the instructions at caravan
sites or ask where there are disposal stations.
ZEmpty waste water tank as often as possible, even when it is not com-
pletely full (hygiene).
If possible, flush out waste water tank and, if necessary, drainage pipe with
fresh water every time it is emptied.
ZNever allow the sewage tank to become too full. Empty the sewage tank
frequently, at the latest as soon as the filling level display lights up.
ZSeparate 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.
ZEmpty 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.

Introduction 1
ZWhen parked, do not allow the engine of the towing vehicle to run more
than necessary. When running idle, a cold engine releases more contami-
nants than usual. The running temperature of the engine is achieved more
quickly whilst the vehicle is in motion.
ZUse an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can
also be biologically degraded and only use small doses.
ZWhen staying in towns and communities for long periods, search for
parking areas which are specially reserved for caravans and towing vehi-
cles. Enquire at the town or community authority about parking spaces.
ZAlways leave the parking places in a clean condition.
