GAS SAFETY ADVICE
Facts about LPG
LPG is not poisonous.
Bi-products are harmless.
There is danger if all air and oxygen were
excluded.
(Ventilation holes must be kept clear at all
times).
LPG has been given a smell by the
manufacturers in order to identify leaks.
Only use gas cylinders stored in the
dedicated gas locker. Do not attempt to fit
extension hoses or use externally located
gas bottles.
PRECAUTIONS
a) Never look for a leak with a match.
Always use a soap solution or its
equivalent when testing connections. Do
not operate any electrical apparatus
whatsoever, especially light switches. If
the leak is not obvious, the vehicle
should be evacuated and qualified
personnel consulted.
b) Avoid naked lights when connecting or
changing a cylinder.
c) Inspect flexible gas hoses regularly for
deterioration and renew as necessary
with the approved type, in any case not
later than the expiration date marked on
the hose(s).
d) The gas is heavier than air and therefore
sinks to the lowest point.
e) Keep bottle gas containers outside (and
protected against frost). If they must be
kept inside make sure they are well away
from heat.
VENTILATION
General
Fixed ventilation is a statutory requirement in
all motorhomes. These ventilation apertures
are positioned at both high and low level and
for your safety should not be obstructed,
even partially.
Low Level Ventilation
Under each appliance is a fixed ventilation
aperture, of a size commensurate with the
rating of the appliance itself. It is either gauze
covered or incorporates a fixed plastic vent.
This should be checked regularly to see that
it has not become blocked.
High Level Ventilation
High level ventilation is provided by the roof
vents. The ventilation provided has been
carefully calculated and relates to the rating
