If you have allowed the tank to run out, air may have seeped into
the lines. In this event, the air must be forced out through the
lines by gas pressure before you will be able to light the pilots.
WARNING
Your LPG tanks must be filled as directed by the
tank manufacturer. Instructions are located on a
decal near the fill valve. The decal must not be
defaced.
NOTE
Use only the LPG tanks furnished with your trailer.
If replacement is required, it must be a bottle of the
same size and design.
LPG Safety
A warning label is displayed in the cooking area reminding you
to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion. The
amount of oxygen supply in a trailer is limited due to its compact
design. When using the cooking appliances, proper ventilation
will prevent dangers of asphyxiation. It is especially important
that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating as the
danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for
long periods of time.
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.
If You Smell Gas
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and all smoking
materials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve or gas supply
connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected
before using again.
WARNING
The LPG tank is securely mounted on the front
A-frame of your trailer. If the tank must be removed
for service or replacement, it is important it
be reinstalled correctly in order to prevent any
possibility of it becoming dis-lodged during travel.
WARNING
A warning label has been located near the
LPG container. This label reads: DO NOT FILL
CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80% OF
CAPACITY. Overfilling the LPG container can result
in uncontrolled gas flow, which can cause fire or
explosion. A properly filled container will contain
approximately 80% of its volume as liquid LP gas.
WARNING
Do not store LPG tanks within a vehicle. LPG tanks
are equipped with safety devices that vent gas
should the pressure become excessive.
WARNING
Do not use cooking appliances for comfort
heating. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe
operation. Before operation, open an overhead
vent or turn on an exhaust fan and open a window.
WARNING
Do not bring or store LPG tanks, gasoline, or other
flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a fire
or explosion may result.
WARNING
Portable fuel burning equipment, including wood
and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used
inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this
equipment inside the recreational vehicle may
cause fires or asphyxiation.
Exterior LPG Port
An exterior LPG port quick-connect may be installed on
the hitch A-frame of your trailer. An LPG supply line is
shipped with the trailer in the loose parts box. This can
be used to connect a lantern or other appliance that
uses a one-pound, low pressure LPG tank supply to the
exterior port.
To assemble, install a male quick-connect coupler to
one end of the supply hose. Then add a flare fitting to
the other end of the supply hose and install a one-pound
tank coupler to the flare fitting. This assembly can be
installed into the appliance in place of the one pound
LPG tank.
