Automatic Changeover Regulator
The automatic changeover regulator allows both gas tanks to be turned on simultaneously. The
arrow on the regulator handle indicates which tankis in service. When the indicated tankin service
becomes empty, changeover is automatically accomplished to commence drawing fuel from the
other tank. At this point, the plastic window will display a red signal or flag to indicate the condition.
The lever should then be flipped over to indicate service on the other tank. The first tank which was
depleted can then be turned off, uncoupled and taken to be refilled without disturbing the park trailer
gas supply. After refilling, it can be replaced and again turned to the "ON" position. When the other
tankis depleted, the LP gas supply will again be automatically changed backto the first tank.
Operation
After the trailer is completely set up and you are prepared to move in, follow these steps for LP gas
operation for the tanks mounted on the front a-frame. If you are hooking up to a permanent tank on
your lot, consult with a qualified technician.
1. Close all burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open main valve on LP tankslowly to avoid a fast rush through the excess flow valve
causing "gas freeze." If you experience a gas "freeze-up," close the main valve and wait 15
minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as gas begins to flow. If "hissing" is heard for more than one or two seconds,
close valve and search for leak.
4. Light appliances as needed and directed in the appliance chapter.

WARNING: Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills
and stoves, must not be used inside the park trailer. The use of this equipment inside
the park trailer may cause fires or asphyxiation.

WARNING: It is not safe to use the cooking appliance for comfort heating. Cooking
appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operation:
1. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan.
2. Open window.
This warning label has been located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate
amount of fresh air for combustion. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the
size of the parktrailer, and proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s) will avoid danger
of asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating,
as the danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time.
