SAFETY
WARNING
!
If any of these lines rupture, do not attempt to
splice them. Always run a new line. Gas distribution
work must be performed by an authorized service
technician.
WARNING
!
When removing or servicing any gas appliance,
close the main gas valve on the propane tank to
prevent dangerous gas leakage that could result in an
explosion and possible serious injury. If a gas leak is
suspected, have the system inspected and repaired by
a qualified service technician as soon as possible.
Keep the tank valve closed and all of the appliances
turned o
ff
when the unit is stored. If any of the Propane
gas valves do not close leak-tight by hand, consult a
service technician.
On older coaches, an LP switch may be located in the
front overhead or toward the bottom of the passenger
chair. This switch shuts o
ff
power to the propane detector
to prevent an unnecessary draw from the battery bank
while the coach is in storage.
Newer coaches are wired to the disconnect side of the
battery disconnect solenoid to prevent the detector from
draining the battery while the coach is in storage with the
disconnect turned o
ff
. Keep this switch turned on when
the coach is in use for the capability of detecting a leak in
the propane system.
STORING A PROPANE-EQUIPPED
COACH
The primary gas supply manifold is a black steel pipe
running the length of the unit. Most secondary lines
leading to the gas appliances are made of copper tubing
with flare fittings.
SERVICING THE GAS DISTRIBUTION

the main gas valve at the tank when the
vehicle is not in use.
CAUTION

WARNING
!
Do not fill propane container(s) to more than 80

can result in uncontrolled propane flow, which can
cause fire or explosion. A properly filled container
contains approximately 80 percent of its volume
as liquid propane. Failure to comply could result in
serious injury or death.
