Make sure before starting your journey that the cab pull-down bed is secured with the fastenings provided (B & S Class).

During the journey all seating must face forward and be secure.

Before starting a journey make sure the steadies are removed or that the built-in jacks are up.

Before starting a journey check all entrance doors on the Hymer. Make sure the step is fully up (check dashboard warning light).

During the journey check that all windows are closed and locked.

Allow only trained engineers to check, test and repair brakes.

When the weight of the vehicle is over 4t and when parking on a slope use wedges. For your own safety we recommend you always use wedges when parking on sloping ground. Wedges for vehicles over 4t are supplied and stored in the gas locker.

Be aware that adding extra weight to the vehicle can affect the handling characteristics.

When parking make sure the handrake is fully applied.

In wintry conditions make sure that ice and snow are removed from the vehicle before starting the journey.

GAS INSTALLATION

Do not carry out any repair or alteration on the gas installations, always go to a qualified workshop.

Any defect in the Gas installation (smell of gas or excessive consumption), turn off the gas (close gas bottle valve and give the vehicle a good airing, have the defect repaired at once by qualified staff. When a smell of gas is detected do not use any electrical appliances. Open fires and smoking are not allowed).

When using open burners (Gas Cooker/Gas Light/Heating/Boiler) the roof vent must be open and all gas covers must be removed (see part "General").

You must not use the Gas Cooker to heat the vehicle. When you are not using any gas appliances please turn off all the main taps and the gas bottle. If there is more than one gas appliance all must be turned off. The gas appliances which are not in use must be turned off.

Because of the risk of explosion all gas appliances must be turned off during refuelling.

11kg or 5kg gas bottles may be used. Camping bottles (Blue with max. 2.5 - 3 kg capacity and also red bottles (propane) are only allowed with safety ventilation. Make sure that the gas bottles are secured in the gas locker.

Please observe that Propane gas must not be used where the temperature is 32 degrees centigrade or over.

Butane gas is only suitable above ) degrees centigrade as the gas will not vapourise below this temperature. It is therefore not suitable for winter use.

If the vehicle is not in use for a considerable time ensure that the gas is turned off at the gas bottle.

Before you start on your "Big Journey" pay attention to the servicing and safety hints.

This warning sign shows all safe parking places. Ignoring it could result in internal or external damage. Please pass on your knowledge to other users.

Recommends places of special interest.

Respect nature.

General.

Ensure you have adequate ventilation when you spend time in your Hymer. Do not cover skylight with the winter insulation pad, it could cause suffocation by high accumulation of CO 2 Gas.

For built-in appliances - Gas Heater, Cooker, Fridge etc. Also for the base vehicle (Motor, Brakes etc. the operating instructions are important).

Watch the clearance height of the entrance door, driver's door etc.

When leaving the vehicle ensure all door and windows are securely locked.

When the heating is on take care not to have clothing too near to the heater.

Travel Safety.

When the vehicle is on the move all passengers must be seated in their appropriate places. (see supplement "A" - seating arrangements). Passengers seated in the living area must comply with regulations and use seat belts.

When loading the Hymer please observe the loading allowance and axle loading (vehicle ticket 15416).

The load on the vehicle must be spread evenly (see section 2 on loading).

STEP.

Picture 2. Step down

To lower the step from inside the vehicle, move the lever sideways out of the slot, pull the lever downwards then push the lever away from you.

Fixing the Number Plates.

The number plates will need to be firmly screwed in place (depending on the model) either on the bumper or between the number plate lights.

For this operation:

• use only self-tapping screws.
• bore two holes, slightly greater in diameter than the diameter of the screws used, at suitable points on the number plate.
• hold the number plate up to the motorcaravan and mark on the vehicle the positions of the holes already bored.
• drill the fastening holes with the same diameter as the self-tapping screws which are being used.
• either place a compounding agent in the holes or onto the screws.
• screw the number plate tightly into place.

Fix your "GB" disc under right-hand side Red Light.

After travelling 50 km tighten your wheel nuts. Then check them from time to time.

Loading.

Take care not to alter the driving characteristics of the vehicle, by loading heavy items at floor level.

To load your Hymer properly place heavy articles on the floor and lightweight in the top lockers.

You must not overload.

Motorhomes may park here

P

All vehicles are allowed to park here.

Only lorries (also motorhomes) with a permissible total weight over 2.8t and prime mover traction engines and buses.

No motorhomes allowed on this parking place.

Only lorries with trailers.

Only for cars with trailers.

Cars only.

Buses only.

• Calculate the loading.

Max loading (including passengers) = total loading weight, minus weight of empty vehicle.

1) Take the estimate from your vehicle documents, No. 14-15

Please remember that the loading of your vehicle includes the weight of your passengers. The max allowed weight must not be exceeded

We recommend in your own interest and safety to have the loaded vehicle weighed (with passengers) before the start of your journey.

With Citroen, Peugeot and Fiat based vehicles the rear suspension springs are built up of several layers. When the vehicle is empty the springs are level. When loaded the leaves of the springs bend downwards. This gives the impression the vehicle is overloaded, this behaviour comes from a progressive characteristic which means that initially, through the loading, the suspension is soft but as the load increases the suspension gains strength and stiffens. Do not lose confidence when on max loading the springs bend downwards.

The max roof loading is 75kg.

* The Step is up
* During winter months keep the roof free of ice and snow
* Make sure all living area doors are secure
* The built in TV ariel is fully retracted
* The chimney extension on the heating system is in position on the roof
* Loose articles are stowed away and secured so they cannot move during the journey.

Test on the base vehicle

* The vehicle lights
* Oil level
* Radiator water level
* Windscreen washer water level

Tyre Pressure Testing

* Test regularly before you start your journey, look at supplement F (tyre pressures).

Gas installation testing.

Ensure before your journey that the gas bottles in your gas locker are aecured by the straps provided, the valves on the bottles are turned off and the appliances, Burners, Boiler, Heating and Fridge are turned off.

Battery Testing

When outside temperatures are low the starter battery and secondary battery may lose some capacity.

Before the journer, check the batteries (see supplement D "Panel").

DRIVING THE HYMERMOBILE

Remembers as the driver you are responsible for:-

• The accompanying persons staying seated in their places (supplement A "Seating order") and use the seat belts provided.
• The door lock is not opened and under sections 1 and 2 keep to the safety measures
• Avoid unnecessary jerky breaking, drive slowly on bad roads. Remember, with long, larger vehicles, because of the overhang scraping along the road can occur and under unfavourable conditions grounding can occur. Special care should be taken when boarding ferries and reversing the vehicle to avoid damage.

Always use the safety belts provided for the driver and passengers.

On the base vehicle. Drive the vehicle with the necessary caution required for driving small commercial vehicles.

Check at the start of your journey and after a break during yourjourner, that the step is up.

Brakes

Test before every journey that your brakes are functioning by applying the brakes to check that they are pulling-up evenly and staying in the same track.

Should you find anything wrong with the braking system, have them put right at once by an authorised workshop for your own safety.

Diagram showing cable installation steps with labeled components including a switch, cable, and plug connections

Exterior Connection

The electrical connection between the motorcaravan and the 220 V network is to be made using a three core flex inside a flexible rubber cable with a minimum cross section 3 x 2,5 mm and with a plug which meets the DIN 49462 norm.

In order to be equipped for every eventuality, we recommend the following combinations:

• Adapter cable:
  EC socket (1) → Schuko plug (2),
• Cable drum:
  Schuko socket (3) → Schuko plug (4),
• Adapter cable:
  Schuko-socket (5) → EC plug (6).

Your Eriba-Hymer dealer will always be ready to supply you with the necessary parts.

ATTENTION

In the accessory catalogue cable drums with a thermo-fuse against overabundant warming are offered. Only by using these cable drums, the cable hasn't to be unrolled off the cable drum.

HANDBRAKE

When parking the vehicle apply the handbrake firmly (particularly on an incline).

CHOCKS

Use wheel chocks when parking on an incline. Vehicles over 4 ton gross weight, chocks are obligatory, these can be found in the gas locker.

Below 4,6 ton gross weight we recommend the use of chocks under the wheels. Your Hymer dealer will advise.

ENTRANCE STEPS

When leaving the vehicle, make sure the step is fully down (control light on dashboard).

VEHICLE SUPPORTS

To stabilise the vehicle you may use the attached steadies or when not fitted use loose ones.

Detached steadies must not be placed under the floor, they must be placed under the vehicle chassis.

On soft ground place small planks of wood under the steadies as a base.

Steadies must not be used to jack up a vehicle. e.g. for tyre/wheel changing. They only have limited strength and only serve to stabilise the vehicle.

If there is insufficient clearance to insert the steadies use the jack first, to lift.

* How to use the fixed steadies on the Hymer (special fittings).

Press lever and compress the square tube to release and lower the steady to a vertical position. Release the lever. Put the spanner provided on to the hexagon nut snd rotate until the vehicle is level - remove spanner.

When the ambient temperature rises above 25 degrees C or when the vehicle work surface/fridge etc. are in direct sunlight the fridge ventilator fan should be switched on.

On rear mounted fridges a removable panel is located on the outside of the vehicle for easier access for maintenance. (further info is available from the "Fridge Instructions" leaflet).

General.

Fridge

Depending on the layout, the following appliances are built-in. Heater, Hob, Fridge and Boiler.

Hob

Your operating instructions for Hymermobiles only refer to the built-in apparatus described.

Boiler

More information for the boiler is available in the separate special handbook.

Heating

To use the built-in apparatus, ensure that the cut-off valves on the gas bottle/tank are on Heating. More information in the special handbook.

Picture 23 Symbol of the built-in appliance cut-off valve.

* To shut off burners.

Turn control knob on hob clockwise to "0" position. The flame dies.

Close both cut off valves cupboard and bottle/tank.

When the flame dies the lighting safety valve will operate and will automatically stop the gas flow.

Water Supply (General)

The motorcaravans water supply is derived from the built-in fresh water tank. The wateris conveyed to the wash basin/sink etc. by a submersible pump controlled by a microswitch within the water tap.

The waste water is collected in the foul water tank located externally under the rear of the vehicle.

Water levels in both tanks may be checked from the control panel.

Tip: When the fresh water tank is being refilled from empty, an air lock sometimes develops at the pump, stopping the water flow. To clear shake pump in fresh water tank vigorously.

Wash out the fresh water tank from time to time to clear any deposits which may form (lime scale, sand etc).

In areas where the water contains large amounts of deposits a piece of nylon stocking tied over the water pump can prevent fouling of the pump.

Water left in the tank for only a short period of time soon becomes undrinkable, flush out and sterilize with Bicarb.

Attention !! If there is a likelihood of frost, drain the whole system.

Never allow the pump to run when there is no water in the tank.

Washroom

Thetford Cassette.

Water for flushing the toilet is supplied from the fresh water tank.

To flush the toilet after use, press the large control downwards and turn anticlockwise to open the drain valve.

To close release the control and turn clockwise to close the drain valve.

To empty the cassette first make sure the control valve is fully shut.

Open access door on outside of vehicle with key provided. Press down locking catch in front of cassette and pull out. Only empty at sewage emptying point provided on site.

Flush out when empty and recharge with suitable chemical (non-toxic and 100% decomposable).

Please make sure when camping in winter that the heating is left on at around 15 degrees C during frosty nights and that the circulating fan is left on in its automatic setting.

Internal doors and flaps should be left slightly ajar when temperatures are low. This will allow warm air into storage areas preventing pipes (eg in water supply) from freezing up, it will also prevent the build-up of condensation in these areas.

Make sure the chimney is kept free from snow and use a chimney extension at least 10 cm long.

Generally you must insulate the upper and lower external fridge vents with the covers supplied if the temperature is extreme.

During frosty periods we recommend the use of an insulation mat to cover the winscreen and side windows of the driving area.

Emptying the water system

If you are not using the Hymer during winter, drain the whole water system to prevent frost damage, especially to the boiler.

Open the two valves.

a) 32.1 Round white covered valve open anti-clockwise.
b) 32.2 Yellow lever open upright.

See section C for position of waste valve.

When you follow this procedure you will have a guarantee of an acceptable method of draining and bleeding of the fresh water/hot water system to prevent frost damage.

1. Switch on 12v system at main switch.
2. Pull out drain plug from fresh water tank via the tank screw cap.
3. Adjust mixers on tap in kitchen and bathroom tap exactly in mid position (warm-cold)
4. Open both drain valves for cold-hot water.
5. Hang handspray in shower position.

If you want to lay up your vehicle we recommend you fill the fuel tank to the brim to prevent corrosion of the tank due to condensation.

Before beginning a journey after the vehicle has been laid up for some time it is advisable to have all systems checked by an authorised workshop e.g. Brakes and Gas system.

Remember to empty the whole of the water system when laying up the vehicle, even for only a short time. Make sure the main gas taps are turned off.

Remember water left in the fresh water tank becomes undrinkable in only a short while.

Interior Maintenance.

Basic household cleaning materials may be used, do not use any caustic based cleaning materials.

Do not use scouring agents on washbasins etc. or material that would scratch chrome surfaces.

Clean furniture with damp cloth (wool), polish with furniture polish on varnished surfaces.

Never wash the upholstery, instead clean carefully using washing up liquid, foam or dry foam.

Dry Clean curtains.

Winter Maintenance.

Widespread use of salt on roads in winter is determental to the underside of vehicles and to parts open to spray from the road.

It is advisable to wash the vehicle thoroughly and regularly in winter to remove the salt deposits in particular.

The underside mechanical and exposed body/chassis parts require thorough washing.

Asa preventative measure you can use a wax based preservative on the underside - a recommended underseal (part No. 217026), mechanical rubbing parts should be well lubricated in winter e.g. locks and hinges etc.

+++

Maintenance of exterior of vehicle.

• Wash your vehicle frequently and rinse with copious amountsof water.
• Remove tar and insects from the bodywork and windscreen as soon as practicable.
• Avoid using anything which might scratch or mark the paintwork e.g. Brushes or course cloth etc.

Tip:- We recommend a major service once a year (see service booklet).

See that the Damp Test check is carried out by your authorised Dealer to validate your Six-Year Warranty.

Only use a soft sponge and lots of water to clean Acrylic windows - if there is locked-in grime, use "Unipol" (part No. 994519).

Smear external hinges with an acid free grease to maintain free movement of flaps and doors etc.

+++

Servicing.

Like every other technical product a vehicle requires servicing. The scope and frequency of the servicing depends, in the first instance, on the conditions of use.

When operated under severe conditions the vehicle must be serviced more frequently than would otherwise be the case.

The work and inspection and servicing requires professional knowledge which cannot be distilled into the pages of this booklet. You are advised to let only properly trained and qualified people do this work. Such people are available at all Hymer Service Stations.
