b) The strong unpleasant smell of LPG will
enable the general area of the leak to be
detected. Check that gas is not escaping
from an unlit appliance. In the case of
a leak, close cylinder valve(s) and call a
competent installer to rectify the fault.
c) If a leaking gas cylinder cannot be
stopped, remove the cylinder to a safe
place in the open air in an upright position
away from drains and any source of
ignition.
Fire
Precautions and actions to be taken:
a) A fire extinguisher of adequate size and
preferably of the dry powder type should
be available.
b) The initial use of dry powder extinguishers
is recommended only if it is likely that the
leakage can be stopped by closing the
cylinder valve or that the cylinder can be
speedily removed.
c) Cool with water all gas cylinders that
cannot be removed.
d) As soon as possible remove cylinders
adjacent to the fire to a safe place in order
to gain access to the seat of the fire.
Connection
Ensure that the gas regulator hose is correctly
connected to the gas cylinder in the gas
bottle compartment and that the hose
connection is tight.
Gas bottles must be fully located, seated at
the base of the bottles and restrained by the
strap provided in the dedicated compartment
position. Straps are positioned to suit 6kg, 7 kg
and 13kg bottles.
WARnInG: If using cylinders other than
those recommended, the user must
ensure these are adequately supported,
ventilation openings must not be
obstructed and the cylinders must not
cause damage to other fixtures and
fittings located in the compartment.
Open ended gas hoses must always be
protected from dirt and insects.
Before turning on the gas supply at the
regulator, ensure that all gas operated
equipment in the vehicle is turned off.
All gas equipment is supplied through a central
Gas Manifold System which has individual
isolation taps for each appliance (Fig. A).

Note:
If the motorhome is in storage or
not being used for a period of time, we
recommend turning off the gas supply at the
gas bottles.
