LPG BOTTLES
The following step-by-step procedure gives you the proper method of removing
and installing these bottles:
1. Turn the knob on your automatic regulator so the arrow points to the
tank opposite the one to be removed. Shut off the gas valve on the bottle
to be removed.
2. Disconnect the rubber gas line at the bottle to be removed. (This
fitting has a left hand thread and turns in the opposite direction to most
threaded fittings.)
3. Turn the large clamping “T”’ handle counterclockwise until the hold down
bracket is loose enough to remove the bottle. If your trailer is equipped with a
gas bottle cover the “T”’ handle must be removed, and then remove the cover
before removing the bottle.
Warning
: DO NOT REMOVE THE CENTER HOLD DOWN
ROD.
To Install
1. Place the bottle in position on the “A” frame and bottle cross member so
that it rests on the upper collar of both bottles with the collar rims engaged in
the grooves on the underside of the bracket. If your trailer is equipped with a
gas bottle cover it should be positioned over the bottles next. Make sure the
hold down rod projects up through the hole in the shroud center bracket.
2. Replace the “T” handle and tighten down until the bottles are held firmly in
place.
3. Turn on gas shut off valves and test all fittings with a soap suds or
detergent solution and watch for bubbles.
If you have allowed both tanks to run out, air may have gotten into the lines. In
this event, the air must be forced out through the lines by gas pressure before
you will be able to light the pilots. Hold a match to the pilot of the appliance
closest to the tanks until it lights and stays lit. Then move to the next closest,
etc.
Twice a year, or after a long storage period, we suggest you take your unit in for
a checkup and cleaning of the gas operated appliances.
BASIC RULES FOR SAFETY
Many things can be construed as safety related, but the most important
is your common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes,
flammable material or any other hazardous material, we are sure you
realize your potential for accidents is greatly increased.
