Gas & Appliance Safety
Gas Certification
Your Caravan has been supplied gas tested and certified. Any additions or alterations to the gas
system must be performed by an authorized person and will require re-certification and testing.
Also note any alterations may affect your warranty on both the system and appliances.
General Safety
•
Your Caravan may have a number of gas safety labels affixed throughout containing important
information. All instructions are to be followed and the labels shall not be removed for any reason.
•
Make sure to close appliance valves before opening the cylinder valves.
•
Where readily accessible, check connections at the appliances, regulator, hoses and cylinders
periodically for leaks with soapy water (or an equivalent)
–
this should be done every time a cylinder is
changed or at least annually.
CAUTION
–
the ammonia present in some soaps and detergents can react with brass fittings and
cause such fittings to crack after a short period of time. Therefore, caution should be exercised
when using soap solutions on brass fittings and all connections should be rinsed thoroughly with
fresh water as soon as possible after the application of the soap solution.
•
Never use a match or flame when checking leaks.
•
Never use cooking appliances for comfort heating.
•
In the event of a fire, immediately close cylinder valve if safe to do so.
•
Appliances must not be altered without the authorisation of the manufacturer.
•
In the event of an accidental gas leak, close cylinder valve and ventilate the area using a safe method
until the air is clear.
•
Flexible hoses are used between the LP Gas Cylinder and regulator as well as between your slide-out
kitchen cooker (if fitted) and the gas bayonet. These flexible hoses are easily accessible and shall be
inspected regularly by a competent person.
Gas Cylinder Safety
•
LP Gas cylinders have a 10-year lifespan between inspection and re-certification. Always use gas
cylinders that
are within their compliance date.
•
For drawbar mounted cylinders (if applicable), orient the cylinder relief valves of both cylinders
discharge away from both the trailer and towing vehicle as shown.
•
For gas cylinders stored in a dedicated LP Gas Locker ensure the locker is kept closed at all times
unless changing or operating the cylinders.
•
Close cylinder valves when appliances are not in use or while refueling is in progress.
•
Ensure cylinder valves are closed to prevent the unintended release of gas from a cylinder.
