DANGER
Never fill the Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) tank beyond 80%
capacity. Excess filling can cause uncontrolled gas flow
to appliances.
DANGER
Never transport portable Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) tanks
inside the vehicle. LPG tanks are equipped with a pressure
relief valve that could suddenly release Liquid Propane Gas
(LPG) into the vehicle’s interior without warning, creating
a dangerous environment that could lead to a fire and / or
explosion, and serious injuries or death.
WARNING
Note the expiration date on the face of your Liquid Propane
Gas (LPG) detector. The detector expires after 5 years
of operation. An expired detector cannot be trusted to
accurately detect the presence of gas in the vehicle. Failure
to replace an expired detector could lead to severe injury or
death of persons if not avoided.
WARNING
Test the alarm operation after the vehicle has been in
storage, before each trip, and at least once per week during
use. Read the entire Owner’s Manual for your detector
prior to its use. Your Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) tank and
its associated appliances should be inspected annually
by a certified technician. This is especially important after
bringing the vehicle out of long-term storage. Any authorized
American Coach dealership can perform this, which will
ensure the system is operating properly.
WARNING
Do not cover or obstruct the detector with anything that
could prevent or restrict gas from entering the device.
WARNING
The Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) detector is not designed
to detect smoke or fire. A separate smoke / fire detector is
installed in your coach for that purpose.
WARNING
The Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) tank, all hoses, valves, and
components should be inspected by a certified technician
annually, or anytime you detect a potential leak.
