Overfilling the LP Gas containers can result in uncontrolled gas flow, which can cause fire or
explosion. A properly filled container will contain approximately 80% of its volume as LP
Gas.
The following label has been placed in the recreational vehicle near the range.
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 container valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until the odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
LP Gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward.
Regulators that are not in compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make
sure that the regulator vent faces downward and the cover is kept in place to minimize vent
blockage, which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
