Propane System
141
• LISTEN carefully. A hissing sound longer than one second,
may indicate a propane leak. If you suspect that there is
a leak, close the shut-off valve, then contact your dealer
or qualified propane technician for repair assistance.
• REPLACE all protective covers and caps on the propane
system after filling. Make sure the valve is closed. Install
the LP bottle cover and use the bungee cord at the bottom
to secure it in place for travel or storage purposes.
Propane Regulator
The two-stage regulator has the only moving components in
the propane system. Its sole function is to reduce the pressure
from the propane containers to a safe and consistent low
operating pressure.
The first stage reduces the container pressure to 10-13 lbs.
The second stage further reduces the 10-13 lbs. of pressure
to an operating pressure of 11” W.C. (water column) or 6.35 oz.
of outlet pressure to your appliances.
For optimum performance, the second stage will need to be
adjusted by your dealer (or qualified propane service technician)
using a properly calibrated manometer.
• If the pressure is too high , the safety and performance
of the propane system will be affected.
• If the pressure is too low , the LP appliances
will NOT operate correctly.
If your RV is equipped with the
automatic
two-stage regulator,
with both cylinders full of propane, turn the lever on the regulator
towards the cylinder you wish to use first. This will now be the
supply cylinder and the other the reserve.
Slowly open both cylinder valves. The indicator on top of the
regulator will change to green . When the supply cylinder is
empty, the indicator will change to red . Now turn the regulator
lever to the reserve cylinder side and the green signal should
return. You may now remove the empty cylinder to have it
refilled without interrupting the flow from the full bottle. After
filling the cylinder, connect the pigtail hose and slowly open
the bottle valve.
LP Regulator:
The red color on
the top dial
indicates the LP
bottles are empty. If the
LP bottles were full, the
dial would show green.
All propane connections
should be checked periodic-
ally as vibrations from travel
may cause them to loosen.
Failure to check connections
could lead to a propane leak
resulting in a fire or explosion
that could cause serious
injury or death
Propane regulators must
always be installed with
the regulator vent facing
downward. Regulators
that are not located in
baggage compartments
have been equipped with
a protective cover.
Make sure the regulator
vent faces downward and
(if applicable) the cover is
in place to minimize vent
blockage that could result
in excessive gas pressure
causing fire or explosion.
