The innovative and well-thought out floor plans offer you a variety of options and the contemporary interior design in all our models gives off a homely atmosphere. You will be amazed at the high standard of quality and all the variations available - space problems are a thing of the past in our vehicles. Many practical details will prove extremely useful when on the road and will allow you to relax even more on your holiday.

Each Globecar vehicle is manufactured with great care and the quality is closely checked. This ensures that our products have a long service life.

It will give you all important information and tips so that you can enjoy all technical advantages of your motorhome to the full. We have also included a chapter on maintenance - and thus on the conservation of value.

In addition, you will find the documents on the base vehicle and the various built-in appliances. For maintenance work or whenever you need some help, please always get in touch with your Globecar dealer.

They know your vehicle best of all, and will meet all your requests fast and reliably. We wish you a lot of fun with your motorhome, a relaxing holiday and safe driving at all times.

Introduction

2.1 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.

Depending on the configuration, the first-aid kit and hazard warning triangle are not included as standard. Equip the vehicle with a first-aid kit and hazard warning triangle before using it for the first time. In case of vehicles with a gross weight exceeding 3.5 t a flashing hazard warning light has to be carried additionally on the vehicle.

Only use the vehicle in a technically impeccable condition. Follow the instructions 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.

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.

2.2 Environmental tips

Z Do not impair the tranquility and spruceness of nature. Z Remember that: All kinds of waste water and household waste are not to

be disposed of in drains or in the open countryside.

Z Only empty the waste water tank and toilet cassette or sewage tank at dis-

posal stations at the camping or caravan sites, 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 stations.

Z Collect waste water on board only in the waste water tank or, if need be, in

other vessels suitable to this purpose.

Z 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, if necessary, drainage pipe with

fresh water every time it is emptied.

Z Never allow the toilet cassette or sewage tank to become too full. Empty

the toilet cassette or sewage tank frequently, at the latest as soon as the level indicator lights up.

Z 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.

Z Empty waste bins as often as possible into the cans or containers that are

provided for this purpose. This helps to avoid unpleasant smells and an accumulation of rubbish on board.

Introduction

Z 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.

Z Use an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can

also be biologically degraded and only use small doses.

Z When staying in towns and communities for longer periods, search for

parking areas which are especially designated for motorhomes. Enquire at the town or community authority about parking spaces.

Z Always leave the parking places in a clean condition.

X If 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.

X Ignition safety valves must close within 1 minute after the gas flame has

extinguished. A clicking sound is audible. Check function from time to time.

X The installed gas appliances are designed for use solely with propane or

butane gas or a mixture of both. The gas pressure regulator as well as all installed gas devices are set for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.

X Propane 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 unsuitable for use in winter.

X Regularly 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 replaced by an authorised specialist workshop no later than 10 years after the manufacturing date. The operator of the gas system must see to it that the parts are replaced.

X Due to its function and construction, the gas bottle compartment is a

space which is open to the exterior. Never cover or block the standard forced ventilation. Otherwise leaking gas cannot be dispersed to the outside.

X Do not use the gas bottle compartment as storage space as it is not

moisture-proof.

X Secure the gas bottle compartment in order to prevent unauthorised per-

sons opening it. To do so lock the access.

X The regulator tap on the gas bottle must be accessible. X Only connect gas-operated devices (e.g. gas grill) which have been

designed for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.

X The exhaust gas pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to

the vent and must be sealed. The exhaust gas pipe must not show any evidence of damage.

X Exhaust fumes must be able to escape into the atmosphere unhindered

and fresh air must be able to enter unhindered. Therefore keep the waste gas vents and intake openings clean and free (e.g. of snow and ice). No snow walls or aprons may be allowed to lie against the vehicle.

X Gas bottles are only to be transported within the designated gas bottle

compartment.

X Place gas bottles vertically in the gas bottle compartment. X Tie down gas bottles so that they are unable to turn or tilt. X If the gas bottles are not connected to the gas tube, always place the

protective cap on top.

X Close the regulator tap on the gas bottle before the gas pressure regu-

lator or gas tube are removed from the gas bottle.

X Use your hands only to connect the gas pressure regulator or the gas

tube to the gas bottles. Do not use any tools.

X Only use special gas pressure regulators with a safety valve designed

for vehicle use. Other gas pressure regulators are not permitted and cannot meet the demanding requirements.

X Use 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.

X Never block the ventilation openings in the floor under the gas bottles.

X Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system. X Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, switch off all devices

and lights, disconnect the battery and disconnect the vehicle from the mains.

X Only use original fuses with the stipulated values. X Only replace defective fuses when the cause of the defect is known and

has been remedied.

X Never bridge or repair fuses.

X Water 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.

Z If the vehicle is not used for several days or if it is not heated when there is

a risk of frost, empty the entire water system. Leave the water taps on in central position. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if available) and all drain cocks open. Frost damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle and deposits in water-carrying components can be avoided in this way.

4.1 Payload

On loading, make sure that the payload's centre of gravity is as low as possible (directly above the floor of the vehicle). Otherwise this may affect the driving characteristics of the vehicle.

4.1.1 Terms

Maximum permissible

gross weight in a laden

condition

The maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition is the weight that a vehicle may never exceed.

The maximum permissible overall weight in laden condition consists of the mass in ready-to-drive condition and of the payload.

The manufacturer has specified the maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition in Field F.1 of the vehicle documents.

Mass in ready-to-drive

condition

The manufacturer specifies the mass in ready-to-drive conditions in Field G of the vehicle documents.

Payload The payload is made up as follows:

z Conventional load z Additional equipment z Personal equipment

Explanations of the individual components of the payload are contained in the following text.

Conventional load The conventional load is the weight specified by the manufacturer for the pas-

sengers. Conventional load means: 75 kg are calculated for every seat specified by the

manufacturer, regardless of how much the passengers actually weigh. 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.

The manufacturer specifies the number of seats in Field S.1 of the vehicle documents.

X Excessive payload and the wrong tyre pressure can cause the tyre to

burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.

X Adapt your speed to the payload. The stopping distance is longer when

the payload is higher.

Z The maximum permissible gross weight stated in the vehicle documents is

not to be exceeded by the payload.

Z Built-in accessories and special equipment reduce the payload. Z Adhere to the axle load stated in the vehicle documents.

Z In technical and scientific texts the term "mass" has replaced the term

"weight". However the term "weight" is still the more common term in general usage. To contribute toward understanding the term "mass" is therefore only used in established phrases in the following passages.

Page 20

20 Motorhome - 02/11-0 - GLO-MJ11-00EN

Before the journey

Additional equipment Additional equipment includes accessories and special equipment. Examples

of additional equipment include:

z Tow coupling z Roof racks z Awning z Bike or motorcycle rack z Satellite unit

Information about the weights of the various special equipment devices can be obtained from the manufacturer.

Personal equipment Personal equipment includes all items in the vehicle that are not included in

the conventional load and the additional equipment. For example, personal equipment can include the following:

z Foodstuffs z Crockery z Television z Radio z Clothes z Bedding z Toys z Books z Toiletries

No matter where kept, personal equipment also includes:

z Animals z Bikes z Boats z Surfboards z Sports equipment

4.1.2 Calculating the payload

The payload (see Section 4.1.1) is the difference in weight between

z Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and z Vehicle mass complete in a ready-to-drive condition.

X Payload calculation at the manufacturer is partly based on all-inclusive

weights. For safety reasons, the maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition must not be exceeded.

X Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to-

drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have your loaded vehicle (with passengers) weighed on a public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.

Page 21

21Motorhome - 02/11-0 - GLO-MJ11-00EN

Before the journey

The calculation of the payload from the difference between the maximum permissible gross weight in laden condition and the mass specified by the manufacturer in ready-to-drive condition is however only a theoretical value.

Only if the vehicle is weighed with full tanks (fuel and water), full gas bottles and complete additional equipment on a public weighbridge, can the actual payload be determined.

4.1.3 Loading the vehicle correctly

Mass in kg to be

calculated

Calculation

Example for calculating

the payload

Maximum permissible gross weight according to vehicle documents, Field F.1

3300

Vehicle mass in a ready-to-drive condition, including basic equipment according to vehicle documents, Field G

- 2720

This results in a permissible payload of

580

Conventional load, e.g. 3 persons at 75 kg each

- 225

Additional equipment - 40

For the personal equipment this results in

= 315

X To ensure safety never exceed the maximum permissible gross weight

in a laden condition.

X Distribute the load evenly between the left-hand and right-hand sides of

the vehicle.

X Distribute the load evenly between both axles. Observe the axle loads

specified in the vehicle documents. Additionally observe the permissible load-carrying capacity of the tyres.

X Securely store all the objects so that they cannot slide or slip. X Store heavy objects (awning, canned food, etc.) close to the axles. Low-

lying storage compartments whose doors do not open in the direction of travel are particularly suited for storing heavy objects.

X Store lighter objects (laundry) in the roof storage compartments.

7.2 Ventilation

Condensation Ensure that there is a continuous exchange of air by providing frequent and

efficient ventilation. This is the only method for ensuring that condensation is not formed during cool weather. During the colder season, a pleasant living climate is created if heating output, air distribution and ventilation are synchronised. To avoid draft close the air outlet nozzles on the dashboard and set the air distribution of the base vehicle to air circulation. If the vehicle is laid up for a longer period, occasionally ventilate it well, especially in summer as heat accumulation can occur.

7.3 Windows

X The oxygen in the vehicle interior is used up by breathing and the use of

levels.

Z Although sufficient ventilation is provided, in certain weather conditions,

condensation can form on metal objects (e.g. screwed connections in the floor).

Z Additional cold spots can occur at thermal "bridges" (e.g. mushroom-

shaped vents, skylight edges, sockets, filler necks, flaps, etc.).

Z The windows are fitted with a blind and a roller insect screen. Z If the blind is completely closed, exposure to direct sunlight can cause heat

to accumulate between the blind and the glass window. The window could be damaged. For that reason, close the blind only 2/3 of the way in direct sunlight.

Z Before commencing the journey, close the windows. Z Close and lock the hinged windows at the sliding door and behind the

sliding door before using the sliding door.

Z Open the blinds at the hinged window at the sliding door before using the

sliding door.

Z Depending on the weather, close the windows far enough to prevent mois-

ture from entering.

Z To open and close the hinged windows, open or close all catch levers

which are fitted to the hinged window.

The locking catch (Fig. 10,2) is located on the inside of the window catch (Fig. 10,1).

Z When leaving the vehicle, always close the windows. Z In case of strong temperature differences or in extreme weather conditions,

light condensation can form on the double-glazed acrylic glass. The glass is designed in such a way that condensation can evaporate when the external temperature increases. There is no danger of the double-glazed acrylic glass being damaged by condensation.

Z Set all the catch levers mounted on the hinged window to the same position

in order to avoid tensions in the window.

Z When opening the hinged windows, ensure that there are no torsional

forces. Open and close the hinged windows evenly.
