UNITY MOTORHOME LIQUID PROPANE GAS SYSTEM
125
LP Gas stations are found in all parts of the country.
Check the yellow pages in your telephone book or
on-line if you have trouble finding a station. Look under
“Gas - Liquid Petroleum - Bottled and Bulk” or “Propane.”
ᘐ
DANGER
Do NOT smoke when refueling. Keep flames,
sparks and smoking material away from fuel or
flammable fumes.
ᘐ
DANGER
• Never use an open flame to test for leaks.
• Never fill the LP Gas tank when either the
engine or the generator is running.
• Keep all protective covers and caps in place.
ᘐ
DANGER
Never carry LP Gas or any other flammable liquid
containers inside the living or driving areas of
your motorhome. Gases may inadvertently be
discharged into the confined space which could
result in fire, asphyxiation or explosion.
ᘐ
WARNING
• Never overfill the LP Gas tank. Make sure your
motorhome is level when filling the tank.
• Make sure all pilot lights are off before
refueling any of the gas tanks on your
motorhome.
• Do not smoke or have any open flame in the
area where refueling is taking place.
• Use a soap and water solution to test for leaks
in the LP Gas system.
ᘐ
WARNING
Remind the service attendant to use the 80%
overflow valve when refueling. Space must be
left in the tank for vaporization and expansion
to occur.
AFTER REFILLING THE LP GAS TANK
1. Periodically check all container and line connections
to be sure they are tight. Use soapy water when
testing for leaks—do NOT use an open flame.
2. If you notice diesel or LP Gas fumes at any time,
immediately determine and correct the source of
the problem.
3. Before opening the LP Gas control valve in the
exterior utility center, check that controls for
all gas appliances are in the “OFF” position. An
accumulation of LP Gas inside the motorhome could
create a fire or explosion hazard.
4. Remember, LP Gas is potentially lethal if inhaled.
AIR IN THE LP GAS TANK
If your LP Gas appliances burn poorly or do not stay
lit even though there is a sufficient fuel supply, there
may be air trapped in the LP Gas tank. The air should
eventually escape along with the LP Gas, but it may be
necessary to have your LP Gas tank purged of air by
your LP Gas dealer.
TRAVELING WITH LP GAS
ᘐ
NOTICE
In some jurisdictions it is illegal to transport LP
Gas on certain roads or through tunnels. Check
state or provincial regulations to make sure your
trip will not be halted or impeded unexpectedly
as a result of transporting LP Gas.
