2013 HOLIDAY RAMBLER
pROpANE REguLATOR
The propane in the tank is under high
pressure. The regulator reduces gas pressure
to a safe operating pressure for use with the
appliances.
The regulator reduces pressure to an outlet
pressure of 0.4 psig (11 inches of water
column). The regulator is equipped with a
vent that allows it to compensate for variations
in altitude. Keep the vent clear of corrosion
or obstruction. If the vent becomes clogged,
the regulator may over-pressurize the system
which can cause erratic appliance operation or
failure. If corrosion exists, contact a qualified
propane service technician. The regulator
is mounted with the vent facing downward.
If the vent becomes clogged, clean it with a
toothbrush.
Under normal atmospheric conditions, the
propane regulator and propane will not freeze.
However, gas passing through the regulator
can create moisture which can cause the
regulator to freeze.
To Prevent Freeze Up:
1. Ensure the propane tank is totally free
of moisture prior to filling.
2. Ensure the tank is not over-filled.
3. Keep the valve closed when the tank
is empty.
4. If a freeze up occurs, have a propane
distributor purge the tank.
5. Have the propane distributor inject
methyl alcohol in the tank.
WARNING:
The regulator is preset at the factory.
Adjustments require special equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in a fire or explosion, causing
severe personal injury or death. Do not
attempt to enter the recreational vehicle
until the problem is corrected.
Service Fitting
For ease of system testing, a propane service
fitting is located on the front curbside frame
near the propane tanks. This fitting can be
used by service technicians to check propane
pressure and perform a system leak down test
without the necessity of loosening interior
fittings to hook up test equipment.
NOTE:
Use the service fitting to perform
propane testing to avoid loosening
fittings in the interior.
NOTE:
The service fitting is replaced with
a quick disconnect valve if the
recreational vehicle has the barbecue
option.
