Section 7: Fuel & Propane System
Place the second cylinder on the A-frame bracket so the cylinder valve is pointed to the
roadside of the recreation vehicle.
1. Secure the second cylinder to the A-frame using the bolts, nuts and washers provided.
2. Attach the second 24” hose to the tee check valve on the regulator and the right handed
swivel nut to the cylinder valve.
Located in a recessed compartment or housing (if so equipped)
1. Connect the 3/8” low-pressure hose to the outlet of the
two-stage regulator.
2. Place the cylinder on the bracket in the recess compart-
ment or housing and secure them so the outlets of the
cylinder valves are facing the “sidewalls” of the com-
partment or housing (opposite of each other).
3. Mount the regulator on the center back wall of the com-
partment or housing so the vent is pointed downward.
4.
Attach the 1/4” inverted flare x 18” Type-1 pigtail hose
to the regulator inlet and the right hand swivel nut to
the cylinder valve.
Main Supply Hose – Low Pressure
Attach the main supply hose from the regula-
tor to the brass manifold fitting in the frame
of the trailer. The swivel brass nut on the
main hose will be your final attachment.
Each time the propane container is removed:
1.
Check that ALL fittings are tight.
2. Check that ALL connections are tested with a propane leak detector (or soapy water)
solution.
3.
Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane to the excess flow valve
causing propane freeze up. If you experience a propane “freeze-up,” close the main
valve and wait at least fifteen (15) minutes before trying again. Refer to the regulator
manufacturer’s operator manual.
4. Listen carefully - a “hissing” sound longer than one second may indicate a propane
leak. If you feel there may be a leak present, close the valve and contact your dealer or
qualified propane technician for repair assistance.
Replace all protective covers and caps on the propane system after filling. Make sure the
valve is closed and the compartment door is securely latched.
