Propane Gas Safety
• Dizziness

• Nausea
• Muscular
twitching

to think
coherently
IF YOU SMELL PROPANE GAS
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 or operate electrical switches.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until the odor clears.
6. Have the 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.
DANGER DANGER
Do not use gas cooking appliances for comfort
heating. Can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning,
which can cause death or serious injury.
DANGER DANGER
All pilot lights, appliances, and their igniters (see
operating instructions) shall be turned off before
refueling of motor fuel tanks and/or propane containers.
Can cause ignition of flammable vapors, which can lead
to a fire or explosion and result in death or serious injury.
DANGER DANGER
THIS PROPANE PIPING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR
USE WITH PROPANE ONLY:
• Do not connect natural gas to this system.
• Securely cap inlet when not connected for use.
• After turning on propane, except after normal cylinder
replacement, test propane piping and connections to
appliances for leakage with soapy water or bubble
solution.
• Do not use products that contain ammonia or
chlorine to test for leaks. These substances may
weaken piping components and cause gas leaks,
leading to fire or explosion, which could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING 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 the propane container(s) can result in
uncontrolled propane flow, which could lead to a fire or
explosion and result in death or serious injury.
WARNING 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 appliance.
• Gas flames consume oxygen, which should be
replaced to ensure proper combustion.
• Improper use can result in death or serious injury.
WARNING WARNING
Warning labels are affixed throughout your motorhome to
provide required information on propane safety. Read and
follow the instructions listed, and exercise proper precau-
tions when using propane and propane appliances.
Warning labels are located in the cooking area to remind
you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combus-
tion. Unlike a residential home, the oxygen supply in an
RV is limited due to the size of the RV, and proper ventila-
tion must be provided when using gas cooking appliances
to help avoid the dangers of asphyxiation.
