Leaks can be easily found by applying a
leak detection solution on all connections.
Leaks can usually be repaired by tightening
the fittings. If not, close the primary shut-off
valve at the tank. Hand-tighten the primary
shut-off valves only. Do not use a wrench or
pliers as overtightening can damage valve
seats and cause leaks. If a leak is suspected,
identified by the odor of rotten eggs or sulfur,
never light a match, have an open flame or use
any spark producing equipment or appliance.
Immediately see an authorized dealer for
repairs before continued operation.
WARNING:
Propane is highly volatile and
extremely explosive. Do not use
matches or a flame to test for leaks.
Use only specially manufactured leak
detection solutions for leak detection.
Unapproved solutions can damage
copper tubing and brass fittings. Do
not use products that contain ammonia
or chlorine. Thoroughly rinse and
dry all fittings tested. Never attempt
to adjust propane regulators. Only
qualified technicians should perform
maintenance or repair to the propane
system.
NOTE:
It may be illegal to travel in some
States and Canadian provinces with
the primary propane valve open.
Failure to comply with these State and
Canadian province requirements may
result in fines and/or pose a safety
hazard.
pROpANE DETEcTOR
The propane detector is required safety
equipment in recreational vehicles. American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) 1192
- Fire & Life Safety, 6.4.8, Propane Detectors
states
“All recreational vehicles equipped with a
propane appliance and electrical system shall
be equipped with a propane detector listed as
suitable for use in recreational vehicles under
the requirements of UL 1484 and installed
according to the terms of its listing.”
CAUTION:
The propane detector indicates the
presence of propane only at its sensor.
Combustible levels of propane may be
present in other areas. The detector is
intended for detection of propane only.
The propane detector is provided for safety
and will detect the presence of propane.
Propane is heavier than air and will settle to
the lowest point (generally the floor) of the
recreational vehicle. The detector operates
from 12 Volt DC. The battery must be
connected and charged for the dectector to
function.
Operation
Power On:
When powered the LED color will be green
(operational).
WARNING:
The detector will not detect propane
or sound the alarm for approximately
two minutes during the power up
cycle.
WARNING:
The detector operates from 12 Volt
DC. The battery must be connected
and charged for the detector to
function. Do not rely on the power
converter as the sole power source as a
power outage may occur.
LED & Alarm Signals
Testing:
Press the Test/Mute switch when the detector
is powered. The LED will turn red and the
alarm will sound. This test feature checks full
operation of the detector.
NOTE
If the detector
does not test
properly, return
it immediately
for repair or
replacement.
Alarm:
The green LED will turn red and the alarm
will sound whenever a dangerous level of
propane is detected. The alarm will continue
to sound until the propane clears or the
Test/Mute switch is pressed.
