NEVER use a match or flame when checking leaks.
•
NEVER use cooking appliances for comfort heating. This can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning
that can lead to death or serious injury.
•
In the event of a fire, immediately close cylinder valve if safe to do so.
•
Appliances must not be altered without the authorization 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 Propane 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.
Propane Cylinder Safety
•
Propane Gas cylinders have a 12-year lifespan between inspect
ion 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.
•
Always remove the propane cylinder from the trailer to refill.
•
Propane tanks may only be filled to 80% capacity. DO NOT OVER FILL. A properly filled propane tank contains
approximately 80% of its volume as liquid propane. Overfilling a propane container can result in uncontrolled propane
flow, which could lead to a fire or explosion resulting in death or serious injury.
•
For gas cylinders stored in a dedicated Propane 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 refuelling is in progress.
•
Ensure cylinder valves are closed to prevent the unintended release of gas from a cylinder.
DO NOT place propane cylinders inside the vehicle.
Propane cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive
pressure by discharging propane to the atmosphere. Propane gas is highly
flammable and can lead to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.
