Again, make sure all appliances are off before opening propane cylinder
valves.
Exception: when reconnecting a full cylinder to an auto changeover regu-
lator it is not necessary to shut off the appliances or close the valve of the
cylinder already in service.
How long a full tank of gas will last is dependent on usage. In cold weather,
when you are using the furnace, large amounts of hot water, and are doing
extensive cooking, you will naturally use more than you will in warm weather
when you may do limited cooking. On the average, with normal cooking and
other appliance use you can probably count on two to three weeks of service
from each tank.
Twice a year, or after a long storage period, we suggest you take your unit in for
a checkup and cleaning of the gas operated appliances.
LPG BOTTLES
The following step-by-step procedure gives you the proper method of remov-
ing and installing these bottles:
1. Rotate the black lever all the way over towards the reserve cylinder. The in-
dicator will turn green and the reserve cylinder becomes the service cylinder.
Now shut off the cylinder valve on the empty cylinder.
2. Disconnect the green swivel nut from the cylinder valve at the bottle to be
removed. (This fitting has a common right hand thread and turns in the same
direction to most threaded fittings.)
3. Turn the large clamping “T”’ handle counterclockwise until the hold down
bracket is loose enough to remove the bottle. If your trailer is equipped with
a gas bottle cover the “T”’ handle must be removed, and then remove the
cover before removing the bottle.
DO NOT REMOVE THE CENTER HOLD DOWN ROD!
To Install
1. Place the bottle in position on the “A” frame and bottle cross member so
that it rests on the upper collar of both bottles with the collar rims engaged in
the grooves on the underside of the bracket. If your trailer is equipped with a
gas bottle cover it should be positioned over the bottles next. Make sure the
hold down rod projects up through the hole in the shroud center bracket.
2. Replace the “T” handle and tighten down until the bottles are held firmly in
place.
3. Hand-tighten the green nylon swivel nut onto the tank valve outlet.
4. Turn on gas shut off valves and test all fittings with a soap suds or detergent
solution and watch for bubbles.
