SAFETY
LP GAS REGULATOR
LP DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The LP gas regulator (Figure 2-4) is the most
critical element of the LP-gas distribution sys-
tem. The regulator converts the high-pressure
LP gas from the tank into a reduced-pressure
LP-gas supply suitable for use in the various
appliances in the motorhome.
You should regularly inspect the regulator
system. If any damage or corrosion is noted,
contact an authorized service technician to in-
spect and repair or replace the regulator.
Do not attempt to adjust the regulator your-
self; the regulator has been pre-set at the fac-
tory. Only a qualified LP service technician
using specialized equipment should adjust the
regulator.
The primary LP distribution system in the motorhome is a steel manifold located underneath the mo-
torhome. The secondary distribution lines running from this main distribution system are usually re-
inforced rubber supply lines.
If any of the gas lines break, do not attempt to splice them—always run new lines to maintain the safety
of the motor home. It is strongly recommended that only qualified service technicians perform this
work.
Remember, the main valve at the LP gas tank must be closed whenever any gas appliance is to be in-
stalled, removed, or serviced—this process prevents LP gas leakage which could result in a possible
harmful explosion. If the odor of LP gas is ever detected, immediately discontinue use of any gas appli-
ances and seek the services of a qualified service technician.

WARNING
The LP gas distribution system in your motorhome is designed for liquefied petroleum (LP)

htis LP gas system.
