GAS SAFETY ADVICE
GAS SAFETY ADVICE
In the event of a suspected gas leak the gas must
be turned off using the isolation valve on the gas
bottle. A competent gas fitter should then check
the system before it is used/reused.
Regularly check flexible gas hose, joints and
connections for tightness. Finally, make sure that
each gas appliance is working efficiently to the
recommendations of the appliance
manufacturers.

FACTS ABOUT LPG
•
LPG is not poisonous.
•
Bi-products are harmless.
•
LPG is dangerous if all air and oxygen is
excluded.
•
LPG has been given a smell by the
manufacturers in order to identify leaks.
•
The gas is heavier than air and therefore
sinks to the lowest point.
AWNING SPACES, LPG AND
APPLIANCE EXHAUST
There is no danger of pollution of an enclosed
awning space from the LPG exhaust from a
refrigerator venting into it. Space heaters may
produce sufficient exhaust to pollute the awning
space, if it is totally enclosed, from a general
comfort, smell and hygiene point of view. In
extreme cases there could be a build up of
carbon dioxide to a dangerous level. Motorhome
owners are advised to allow some fresh air
circulation in the awning space when such
appliances are in use.
Please Note:
Ventilation holes must be clear at
all times.
LPG GAS SYSTEM
The Explorer Group does not recommend the
use of any external cylinders. All cylinders in use
should be within the gas locker provided. If you
wish to utilise a larger cylinder and have this
outside the gas locker then the connecting hose
must not exceed 750mm.
It is recommended that no flammable material is
stored or placed within 300mm of any open
flame. Your attention is also drawn to the fact that
the surface of the Space Heater in your
motorhome will get hot when in use. You are
advised not to use any additional gas appliances
outside your motorhome unless it is a Gas
Barbecue connected via the Barbecue point
supplied with your motorhome.
Please ensure that you have read the operating
instructions for each gas appliance contained in
your Owners Information Pack. Please ensure
that any gas hose left unconnected is protected
from dirt or other foreign bodies entering the
hose.
