LPG Tanks
The following procedure outlines the proper method of
removing and installing LPG bottles:
1� Unhook the two shock cords from both sides of the
tank cover to open the top for access� Remove the
shelf to expose the LPG tanks�
2� Turn the knob on your automatic regulator until
the arrow points to the tank opposite the one to be
removed� Shut off the gas valve on the tank to be
removed�
3� Disconnect the rubber gas line at the tank to be
removed. (The green plastic fitting is a right-hand
thread and no tools should be used�)
4� Turn the large clamping T-handle counterclockwise
until the hold-down bracket is loosened enough to
be able to remove the tank�
LPG Tank Installation:
1� Place the tanks in position on the A-frame and tank
cross-member so that it rests on the upper collar
of both tanks with the collar rims engaged in the
grooves on the underside of the bracket� 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
tanks are held firmly in place.
3� Test fittings with liquid soap free of ammonia or
chlorine, or products deigned for testing, such as
Snoop® liquid leak detector�
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 appliance, etc�
NOTE
The gas tank cover should only be removed by a
qualified service technician.
WARNING
Your LPG tanks must be filled as directed by the
tank manufacturer. Instructions are located on a
decal near the fill valve. The decal must not be
defaced.
WARNING
The LPG tanks are securely mounted on the front
A- frame of your trailer. If these tanks must be
removed for service or replacement, it is important
that they be reinstalled correctly in order to prevent
any possibility of their falling off or becoming
dislodged during travel.
WARNING
Use only the LPG tanks furnished with your trailer.
If replacement is required, it must be a bottle of the
same size and design.
Exterior LPG Port
An exterior LPG port quick-connect may be installed on
the hitch A-frame of your trailer� An LPG supply line is
shipped with the trailer in the loose parts box� This can
be used to connect a lantern or other appliance that
uses a one-pound, low pressure LPG tank supply to
the exterior port�
To assemble, install a male quick-connect coupler to
one end of the supply hose. Then add a flare fitting to
the other end of the supply hose and install a one-
pound tank coupler to the flare fitting. This assembly
can be installed into the appliance in place of the one
pound LPG tank�
