use first. This will now be the “supply” cylinder and the other “reserve”.
Slowly open both cylinder valves.
The indicator on top of the regulator will turn bright green. When the
cylinder becomes empty the indicator will change to bright orange or red.
Now turn the lever to the side of the full bottle and the green signal will
return. You may now remove the empty bottle to have it refilled without
interrupting the flow from the full bottle. After filling the cylinder, connect
the pigtail hose and slowly open the bottle valve. Do not forget to check
for leakage each time you refill cylinder or disconnect any part on the
propane system.
High Pressure Hoses with Acme Connectors
Propane leaves the container through a hose with an ACME connector
at
tached to the bottle, also having a “flow-limiting device” designed to
sense
excessive
flow. There are two functions of this device. 1, should
container valve be opened too quickly this device may close, stopping the
flow of propane. 2, Should there be a rupture in propane line, it will reduce
the flow to (SCFH) Standard Cubic Feet per Hour.
This device will equalize normal flow in about 5 seconds, generally not
noticeable.
Main Supply Hose
– Low Pressure
The main supply hose will be attached from the regulator to the brass
manifold fitting in the frame of the coach. The swivel brass nut on the
main hose will be your final attachment.
There are several things to remember each time the container is
removed:
1. Be sure ALL fittings are tight. Always use two wrenches for
brass connections.
2. Be sure ALL connections are tested for leakage.
3. Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane to
low-
limiting device causing gas “freeze”.
4. Listen carefully
—-a “hissing” sound longer than one second may
indicate a gas leak. Close valve and search for leak.
