Maintenance
Although your recreation vehicle has been carefully tested at the factory, and by your
selling dealer for leakage, travel vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the propane system
checked at all connections soon after the purchase of your recreation vehicle, and after the
initial filling of the propane tanks.
NOTE:
All propane lines have been checked with air pressure at the time of
manufacture. Dealers are required to recheck and adjust pressure before retail delivery.
Continued periodic checks of the propane system at 5,000 miles of travel (or at least once a
year), by a qualified propane service representative as part of your normal maintenance is
recommended. Hand tighten the LP gas system valves only, do not use a wrench or pliers
as over tightening may damage the valve seals and cause them to leak.

Leaks may be found easily with a soapy water solution. Do not use a solution containing
ammonia or chlorine when locating leaks. These products are corrosive to copper gas lines
and brass fittings, which could result in deterioration of the copper and brass components.
Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas piping fittings. If a leak is present, the
soapy solution will “bubble” at the leak point. If a leak is indicated, shut off the propane
system valve(s) and contact an independent Entegra dealer or qualified propane service
representative immediately.

ROCEDURE
Propane is a colorless and odorless gas that, in the liquefied state, resembles water. An
odorant (usually a sulfur compound) is added as a warning agent. If you smell propane
within the vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the procedure listed on the label below.
This label has been placed in the vehicle near the range, for models equipped with a
propane system.
Propane system label
When propane container is low, occasionally there may be a concentration of an onion or
garlic-like odor, which can be mistaken for a propane gas leak. After the propane
container has been refueled, the odor will usually disappear. If not, turn off the valve(s)
and have the propane system inspected by your dealer or qualified propane service
representative.
DANGER
Never use an open flame to test for a propane leak.
Do not check for leaks using
products that contain ammonia or chlorine; these products can cause cracks to form on
the metal tubing and brass fittings
