If you suspect your propane container has been overfilled, contact your dealer
or a qualified propane technician for assistance immediately. Do not attempt
to service a propane container overfill yourself.

After your recreation vehicle is completely set up 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 tank slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane vapor
through the excess flow valve causing propane “freeze-up.” Should you experience
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 recreation vehicle dealer to have
the propane system tested.
4. Light the appliances as needed and directed in the appropriate appliance manufacturer’s
owner manual located in the Warranty Packet.
Keep the propane container valves closed at all times unless you are using the propane gas
system or are having the propane container filled.
Make sure that you read and fully understand ALL safety requirements for handling
and operation of the propane system.
The Warranty Packet contains manufacturer’s user guides for the various appliances hooked
to your propane system.
The propane system provides added benefits to your camping enjoyment; however, it must
be handled with care. If you have any questions or concerns, consult with your dealer and/
or the specific manufacturer.
If you have double cylinders on your recreation vehicle, use only one at a time. Otherwise,
the propane supply will be drawn equally from both cylinders until the supply has been
totally exhausted. Using one cylinder until it is empty, then using the second cylinder will
allow you to fill the empty cylinder at your convenience without running totally out of
propane .
