The OP LITE is fitted with a mount for one 20lb. Gas bottle. This bottle is to be connected to a
gas regulator and turned off when the gas is not in use.
STEP 1.
STEP 1.
To install a gas cylinder, place the gas bottle in the holder and use the provided
clamp to hold the cylinder in place. Adjust the fit if necessary by turning the threaded triangle
bolt. Ensure that you have the correct gas hose to connect the gas cylinder to the fixed gas
regulator; your OP LITE comes with a regulator-to-gas bottle pigtail hose which should be
compatible with most US standard propane bottles.
STEP 2.
STEP 2.
Once connected to the propane bottle, the gas tap/valve on the top of the gas bottle
can now be opened.
STEP 3.
STEP 3.
To connect the gas system on the kitchen; stowed under the sink there is a gas hose
fitted to the stove that has a quick connect on the other end. Thread the gas hose through the
aperture under the kitchen and connect to the gas quick connect on the side of the OP LITE.
Turn on the gas tap on the gas quick connect on the side of the OP LITE by turning 90° so that
it is parallel with the fixture.
STEP 4.
STEP 4.
To operate the gas stove; lift up the stainless steel lid, turn on one of the burners (push
in, turn and hold to ignite). Keep pressing the button until the gas has had time to fill up the
system and the burner will ignite. You may need to hold the button in for up to 10 seconds
before ignition to overcome the accidental ignition safety precaution in-built in the hob. Do
NOT lean across the burners to reach the stove controls. When the stove is not in use, please
ensure the gas is turned off at the quick connect valve on the side of the OP LITE and at the
gas bottle.
STEP 5.
STEP 5.
Ensure that the gas bottle valve is closed prior to packing up the OP LITE for transit
or storage, the quick connect valve on the side of the OP LITE has been closed and that the
gas hose has been disconnected from the side of the OPUS and carefully stowed inside the
kitchen. Please make sure that the gas hose is fully inserted into the kitchen before sliding the
kitchen into the storage compartment. Failure to do so can lead to the gas hose getting caught
in the runners which can lead to damage.

Your OP LITE comes fitted with a propane (LP) / Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector installed is directly wired to the battery.
Please read the user manual supplied for the detector to fully understand correct usage. If the Propane or Carbon
Dioxide warning alarm sounds, evacuate the trailer immediately and, if safe to do so, close off and fully disconnect the
propane tanks. Do not touch any electrical switches. Follow proper and safe steps to ventilate the trailer and await for
the alarm to stop before returning to the trailer then disconnect the 120v shore power connection and turn off the 12volt
power. If you suspect any chance of a propane leak, fully disconnect the propane tanks and make an appointment to
have your OP LITE serviced with your dealership.
Do not use any other gas systems
than those provided with the OP LITE.
Always turn off the shut off valve

WARNING! 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. CAN LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
DANGER! DO NOT USE GAS COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING. CAN LEAD TO CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING, WHICH CAN LEAD TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING! GAS COOKING APPLIANCES NEED FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION: BEFORE OPERATING: OPEN
VENTS OR WINDOWS SLIGHTLY OR TURN ON EXHAUST FAN PRIOR TO USING COOKING APPLIANCES. GAS FLAMES
CONSUME OXYGEN, WHICH SHOULD BE REPLACED TO ENSURE PROPER COMBUSTION. IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT
IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING! DO NOT FILL PROPANE CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY. A PROPERLY FILLED
CONTAINER CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 80 PERCENT OF ITS VOLUME AS LIQUID PROPANE. OVERFILLING PROPANE
CONTAINER(S) CAN RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED PROPANE FLOW, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
AND RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
DANGER! IF YOU SMELL PROPANE:
1. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES AND ALL SMOKING MATERIALS.
2. SHUT OFF THE PROPANE SUPPLY AT THE CONTAINER VALVE(S) OR PROPANE SUPPLY CONNECTION.
3. DO NOT TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES.
4. OPEN DOORS AND OTHER VENTILATING OPENINGS.
5. LEAVE THE AREA UNTIL THE ODOR CLEARS. 6. HAVE PROPANE SYSTEM CHECKED AND LEAKAGE SOURCE
CORRECTED BEFORE USING AGAIN.
IGNITION OF FLAMMABLE VAPORS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
WARNING! WHEN USING THE OUTDOOR COOKING AREA, THE VEHICLE MUST BE LEVEL AND STABILIZED. DO NOT
VIOLATE MANUFACTURERS’ INSTRUCTIONS ON REQUIRED CLEARANCES FOR COOKING APPLIANCES DURING USE.
DO NOT STORE COOKING APPLIANCES UNTIL COOL TO THE TOUCH. CAN LEAF TO A FIRE AND EXPLOSION AND
RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
DANGER! GAS FUMES INSIDE A CAMPER TRAILER COULD RESULT IN UNCONSCIOUSNESS, BRAIN DAMAGE OR EVEN
DEATH. FOLLOW SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURE WITH GAS AT ALL TIMES: ENSURE GOOD VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES.
DANGER! CHECK THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT FITMENT AND SAFE USE WITH THE GAS CYLINDER
MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER.
DANGER! ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE GAS CYLINDER RETAINING STRAPS ARE FITTED WHENEVER A GAS CYLINDER IS
INSTALLED IN THE FRONT LOCKER COMPARTMENT, EVEN WHEN THE OPUS® IS STATIONARY.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE CONSULT THE OPUS TEAM BEFORE COMPLETING ANY REPAIR WORK ON THE GAS SYSTEM:
THE PROPANE SYSTEM INSTALLED INCLUDES A 2-STAGE REGULATOR. THE REGULATOR MUST ALWAYS BE INSTALLED
WITH THE VENT FACING DOWNWARDS.
THE REGULATOR IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT OF THE OP14. ENSURE THAT THE VENT FOR THE REGULATOR IS NOT
OBSTRUCTED AS BLOCKAGES COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE PROPANE PRESSURE CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION
THE PROPANE SYSTEM OF THE CAMPER IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH THE SUPPLIED STOVE ONLY; DO NOT USE ANY
OTHER GAS APPLIANCE WITH IT. THE PROPANE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH PROPANE ONLY. DO NOT USE
OTHER FORMS OF GAS.
PORTABLE FUEL-BURNING EQUIPMENT INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WOOD & CHARCOAL GRILLS AND STOVES
SHALL NOT BE USED INSIDE THE CAMPER DUE TO RISK OF FIRE OR ASPHYXIATION
