TIPS TO PREVENT ASPHYXIATION
1. Inspect the RV's chassis and generator exhaust system
regularly, at least before each discarding any other incidents
that could potentially cause more damage.
2. Inspect the RV for openings in the floor or sidewalls. If you
locate a hole, have it repaired before using your generator .
3. Inspect windows, door seals, and weather strips to ensure that
they are sealed properly.
4. Yellow flames in propane -burning appliances such as,
cooktop, oven and water heater usually indicate a lack of
oxygen . Determine the cause of this condition and correct
it immediately.
5. Do not operate your generator if the exhaust system is
damaged in any way or if an unusual noise is present.
6. Park your RV so that the exhaust may easily dissipiate
away from the vehicle. Do not park next to high grass, weeds,
snowbanks, buildings or other obstructions that might prevent
exhaust gases from dissipating as they should.
7. Keep in mind that shifting winds may cause exhaust to blow
away from the RV and may come back under the RV.
8. Do not sleep with the generator operating .
9. Leave a roof vent open anytime the generator is running ,
even during winter. Ensure there is always proper ventilation
to prevent
asphyxiation . Long term use of LP appliances or
equipment increases the chances of possible asphyxiation.
10. If you or any passenger doesn't feel good, do not rule out the
possibility of symptoms of asphyxiation . Shut off generator,
step out of the RV and get some fresh air.
Do not carry possible flammable materials such as wood or charcoal
grills, heaters or stoves inside the RV that are not previously installed
by Grech RV. The addition and use of this equipment may cause a
deadly carbon monoxide gas or cause fires.
DANGER
Avoid breathing exhaust fumes from gas or diesel engines and LPG
appliances. Poisonous exhaust fumes are generated from operating
the RV or generator engine, stove, oven, refrigerator, furnace and hot
water heater.
DANGER
Make sure all alarms are in proper working condition and with batterly
life, to prevent accidents and possible set backs.
WARNING
Do not run the RV or generator engine in a confined or constricted
area. If your RV was on storage in a confined area you can run the
engine to move the RV from one place to another.
NOTICE
SIGNS TO LOOK FOR
It is a crucial component of every RV gas system and if it is not
working properly you will notice problems with the LP appliances.
There are several signs to look out for:
ӹ
Yellow flames:
•
The flame on your LP appliances should be a strong blue ,
if you have yellow flames after lighting one of the burners
on your RV stove, it indicates lack of pressure in your LPG
system.
•
If the flame is blue but makes a roaring sound and it is a
tall flame, then it has too much pressure.
ӹ
Dark Soot Deposits:
•
Propane is a clean gas and it doesn't normally have dark
smoke when it burns.
•
A healthy LP flame shouldn't should leave hardly any soot.
If you have started noticing dark black marks forming
around your water heater or even in your cooktop, you
either have something in the burner causing the soot or the
flame is weak and isn't burning cleanly .
ӹ
Popping noises:
•
If you hear popping noises when you turn off the flames on
your cooktop, then your LP regulator could be having issues .
•
It can also be a result of a damaged burner. If you hear the
popping noises on one burner but not on the others, check
the problematic burner, it may be dirty or askew .
ӹ
Leaking:
•
If there is a propane smell coming from your propane
regulator it may be damaged or not sealing properly.
•
Propane regulators have a vent located on the side to help
the regulator breathe while being used. Make sure it is open
and not obstructed in any way.
If there is propane coming out from the vent, check to make sure
your propane tank is not overfilled. If the tank is not the problem,
then the regulator has gone bad and needs to be replaced.
NOTICE
Dark soot can best be described as a product of the incomplete
combustion of fueled carbon. When carbon burns all the way through,
very little residue is left. When it doesnt, it leaves begind a black, flaky
substance called soot.
