Propane System
Using the Propane System
After the RV is completely set up and you are prepared for
camping enjoyment, use the following steps for propane
operation:
1. Close ALL burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open the main valve in the propane container slowly to
avoid a fast rush of propane vapor through the excess
flow valve causing propane freeze - up . Should you expe-
rience propane freeze - up , close the main valve and wait
15 minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as propane begins to flow. If a hissing
noise is heard for more than one or two seconds, close
the main valve and contact your dealer to have the pro-
pane system tested.
4. Light the appliances as directed in the appropriate
manufacturer manual from your Owner Information
Package.
BEFORE using the propane system, make sure that
you read and understand ALL instructions and safety
requirements.
The Owner Information Package contains
operator manuals for the various appliances hooked to your
propane system.
If you have additional questions or concerns, Consult with
your dealer and/or the specific manufacturer.
Gas appliances must never
be operated while RV is in
motion. Unpredictable wind
currents may be created
which could cause flame
reversal in the water heater
burner tube, which could
result in fire damage.
The water heater thermal
cut off fuse could also be
unnecessarily activated
resulting in a complete shut
down of the water heater
requiring replacement of
the thermal cut off.
