Checking for Leaks
The entire propane distribution system and appliances have gone
through complete factory and dealer tests for any leakage. When
traveling with your RV, normal vibrations and road movement may
cause connections to loosen and develop leaks.
For normal maintenance we advise all owners to test for leakage at
least once per year or more often. You may request your dealer to
perform a maintenance check each spring.
Should you encounter an odor, possibly propane, turn off any and all
open flames and begin a systematic search for leaks on the
complete propane system. NEVER USE A MATCH. Use a soapy
water solution which contains NO AMMONIA, or CHLORINE content
to check for leaks. If a leak is identified, bubbles will appear.
ALWAYS use two open end wrenches when tightening brass
connections to prevent twisting of copper.
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING.
Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation.
Before operation:
1.
Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan.
2.
Open window (s).
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the
recreational vehicle, and proper ventilation when using the cooking appli-
ances avoids danger of asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking
appliances not be used for comfort heating, as the danger of asphyxiation is
greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
