SAFETY
•
Immediately turn off all potential sources of ignition
(furnace, water heater, refrigerator, stove/range, etc.),
and extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and all
smoking materials.
•
Do not touch electrical switches.
•
Shut off the propane supply at the container valve(s) or
propane supply connection.
•
Open doors and other ventilating openings.
•
Evacuate the unit, and leave the area until the odor
clears.
•
Consult an authorized service technician for repairs,
as the propane system must be checked and leakage
source corrected before using again.
PROPANE WARNING LABELS
The following labels regarding propane safety are
strategically placed inside of your coach.
If the detector alarms while in use, or if you smell propane
or suspect a gas leak (the odor smells similar to rotten
eggs or sulfur), follow the warning labels in your coach.
IF YOU SUSPECT A GAS LEAK
Read and understand the following precautions,
as well as any warning labels in your coach, to
protect yourself and others from the risks of
operating an LP system.
IMPORTANT
!
Never test for a leak by lighting a match or having an
open flame where you suspect leaking gas.
DANGER
!
Check the LP level either from the monitor panel in the
coach or the gauge on the LP tank to ensure an adequate
fuel level.
Make sure the LP valve is open. To open it, turn the valve
counterclockwise.
When having the tank filled, or if the coach is in storage,
or if LP is not currently needed, turn off the gas at the LP
tank by turning the valve
clockwise.
The tank fill valve and
the 80% bleeder valve
should not be tampered
with by the user. These
valves are for filling
purposes and should
only be performed at a
licensed filling station.
Propane Operation
Never spray any type of aerosol or cleaner directly
onto or into the propane detector. Spraying any type
of material into the opening on any of these detectors
can render them useless, and would not be covered by
the manufacturer’s warranty.
Refer to Newgle for more information about your coach’s
propane (LP) gas detector.
It is recommended to have the propane system inspected
by an authorized service technician at least once a year
and after every extended trip. This system is tested by
both the manufacturer and the dealer; however, leaks
may be caused by travel vibrations.
Propane System Maintenance
WARNING
!
Inspect the propane fill valve for foreign materials
before refueling. Introducing foreign material into the
fill valve may cause leaking or overfilling, resulting in
uncontrolled gas flow and a fire or explosion.
FILLING THE PROPANE SYSTEM
Tank filling should only be performed by trained
professionals. Prior to filling the propane tank, turn off
all flame or spark-producing appliances, extinguish any
smoking items, and turn off the coach engine.
WARNING
!
While refilling the fuel or propane tank, the engine
must be off, all pilot lights must be extinguished,
and appliances turned off. The vehicle should be as
level as possible, and the service valve should be
turned off. Smoking is also prohibited at this time.
