SECTION 8
– LP Gas System
8-2
Class A
•
Never use an open flame to test for LP gas
leaks. Replace all protective covers and caps
on LP system after filling. Make sure valve is
closed and door latched securely.
•
Never connect natural gas to the LP gas
system.
•
When lighting stove burners, place the lit
match, butane wand or other ignition source
next to the burner before turning the knob
‘On’. Do not let gas escape before lighting the
match or lighter wand.
•
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including
wood and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not
be used inside the recreational vehicle. The
use of this equipment inside the recreational
vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
•
LP gas regulators must always be installed
with the diaphragm vent facing downward.
Regulators are equipped with a protective
cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces
downward and that the cover is kept in place
to minimize vent blockage which could result
in excessive gas pressure causing fire or
explosion.
LP GAS LEAKS
The following label is located in the vehicle
near the range area. If you smell gas within the
vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the
procedures listed.
LP GAS ALARM
Your coach is equipped with an LP gas
detector which sounds an alarm if an unsafe
amount of LP gas is present inside the coach.
Because LP gas is heavier than air, the detector is
located on a cabinet face near the floor of the
coach.
See the LP Gas Alarm manufacturer’s
information in your InfoCase for complete
instructions.
If the Alarm Sounds
If the alarm sounds, do not touch any
electrical switches. Immediately turn off the
main LP tank valve and all LP appliances, open
all windows and roof vents, and leave the coach
until the alarm stops sounding.
If the alarm keeps sounding at regular
intervals, a leak may be present. Contact your
dealer or an LP gas service center to have the
problem corrected before using the LP system
again.
