Changing LPG Tanks
To change the LPG tanks, you should do the following:
1. Close the cylinder supply valve on top of the tank.
2. Loosen all the way the wing nut that secures the tank.
3. Using a crescent wrench (turning clockwise), remove the pigtail hose .
4. Remove the empty tank.
5. Install new tank.
6. Reattach pigtail hose – hand tighten first and then secure tightly with crescent
wrench (turning counterclockwise).
7. Open cylinder supply valve.
8. Check for leaks .
Testing for Leaks
The LPG fuel system should be tested for leaks each time the cylinder supply valve is
opened for appliance use. To test the system for leaks, you should do the following:
1. Close all Range burner and broiler control valves by turning the controls to the
OFF position.
2. OPEN the cylinder supply valve on top of the tank selected for use by turning the
valve in a counterclockwise direction.
3. Turn ON the circuit breakers labeled ‘PROPANE SOLENOID’ on the 12V DC
NAV./COM. Electronics Panel and ‘ PROPANE STOVE’ on the Inverter Bypass
Panel in the Pilothouse.
4. Switch ON the Solenoid Control switch located on the bulkhead to the left of the
Range.
5. Test light a burner to verify that LPG pressure is supplied to the range. Once
pressure is verified, again close all burners per step 1.
6. Make a note of the reading on the pressure gauge on the selected LPG tank.
7. Close the cylinder supply valve. Leave the solenoid valve OPEN.
8. Wait 10 minutes .
9. Read the pressure again.
10. Switch OFF the Solenoid Control switch.
11. Turn OFF the ‘PROPANE SOLENOID’ and ‘PROPANE STOVE ’ circuit
breakers if the Range will not be used.
If the pressure does NOT remain constant for 10 minutes (step 8), gas is leaking out
of the system.
The leak should be located by applying a mixture of liquid detergent and
water to all connections and other suspect points and checking for bubbles. Never
attempt to locate leaks by using an open flame. Repair and re-test the system before
putting the system into operation. If leaks persist, consult a qualified LPG Service Center.
CAUTION
Keep combustible materials away from burners when in use.
CAUTION
Vessel motion may cause hot liquids to spill.
