LPG SYSTEM
(OPTIONAL)
_____________________
You may have purchased as an option with
your
330 Sport Bridge an optional LPG Cook-
ing System. This system is manufactured by
Seaward Products. The purpose of this option
is to give a alternative to electric cooking in
your boat.
Open
fl
ame appliances consume
oxygen. This can cause asphyxiation or death.
Maintain open ventilation. Do not use this ap-
pliance for comfort heating.
It is recommended that every time the LPG tank
valve is opened for use, the operator close the
valve and watch that the gauge needle remain
constant. If leaks occur, repair the leak. If the
leak cannot be repaired, DO NOT operate the
appliance.
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and warm
detergent solution is generally enough to keep
your cooktop clean and beautiful. This is done
when the cooktop is cool. Use a dry cloth or
paper towel to clean splatters and spills when
surfaces are warm.
Due to the nature of LPG gas it is necessary to
discuss safety items associated with the opera-
tion this system.
1) This system is designed for use with Lique-
fi
ed Petroleum Gas (LPG) only . Do not con-
nect Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) to this
system.
2) Keep cylinder valves and solenoid valves
closed when boat is unattended. Close them
immediately in any emergency. When on board,
cylinder valves and solenoid valves shall be
closed when appliances are not in use. Keep
empty cylinder valves closed tightly . Keep
protective covers caps or plugs in place.
3) Close appliance valves before opening cyl-
inder valves.
4) Test for system leakage each time the cylinder
supply valve is opened for appliance use. Close
all appliance valves. Open then close cylinder
supply valve. Observe pressure gauge at the
regulating device and see that it remains con-
stant for not less than three minutes before any
appliance is used. If any leakage is evidenced
by a pressure drop, check system with a leak
detection
fl
uid or detergent solution which does
not contain ammonia and repair before operat-
ing system.
NOTE: Ammonia, which is present in some
soaps and detergents, attacks brass fi ttings. Un-
detectable at fi rst, in a matter of months, these
fi ttings may develop cracks and leaks.
NEVER USE FLAME TO
CHECK FOR LEAKS!
5) Do not obstruct quick access to LPG system
components in any way.
6) Do not use LPG cylinder housing for storage
of any other equipment.
7) Never leave craft unattended when LPG con-
suming appliances are in use.
8) Do not smoke or use open
fl
ame when replac-
ing LPG Cylinders.
9) Inspect hoses in system at least annually .
Replace every
fi
ve years or sooner if deteriora-
tion is found.
