Keep the shutoff valve on your LP gas tank closed
at all times, except when you are operating an LP
gas appliance. Before opening the LP shutoff
valve, turn off all LP gas appliances. If an
appliance is on when you open the shutoff valve,
LP gas can accumulate in the trailer, which can
result in an explosion.
Do not use a wrench to open or close the shutoff
valve. If the shutoff does not completely stop the
flow of LP gas when it is hand-tightened, replace
the shutoff valve.
LP gas leaks can result in fire or explosion. If your
trailer is equipped with an LP gas system, it must
also be equipped with an LP gas detector. The LP
gas detector will be located near the floor to detect
the heavier-than-air LP gas. If a leak is suspected,
use a soapy water solution to search for the leak.
Do not use a solution that contains ammonia or
chlorine (common in window and other household
cleaning compounds), because those chemicals will
cause LP piping corrosion.
^ WARNING
Risk of fire or explosion
If LP gas is detected (by smell or by the LP
gas detector):
•
Do not touch electrical switches
•
Extinguish flames and pilot lights
•
Open doors for ventilation
•
Shut off LP gas supply at the LP tank
•
Leave the area until odor clears
Correct the source of LP gas leakage
before using LP appliances.
Do not use a flame to locate the source of
an LP gas leak.
LP gas is either propane or butane that is
compressed into liquid form. LP gas must be
completely vaporized before being burned. Butane
gas will not operate if the outside temperature is
below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
NOTICE
Use Butane only when the temperature is
above freezing (32 degrees F).
Propane gas will operate at temperatures
as low as minus 44 degrees Fahrenheit (-44
F).
Keep the regulator for the LP gas system (located
near the LP gas tank) covered with a guard to
protect it from road debris.
LP gas is prohibited on some roadways, bridges and
tunnels. Check a map and with Department of
Transportation (or with the AAA) for travel routes
that do not have such restrictions.
7.4.1 LP Gas System Troubleshooting
•
Having liquid “gas” at your appliance is an
indication that the LP gas tank is overfilled, or
that the temperature is too cold.
•
If your LP gas appliances do not stay lit, it
might be because your LP gas system is
contaminated with air or moisture. Many LP
gas vendors have facilities to purge the air from
an LP gas system.
•
If your LP gas system is not providing gas,
even when the shutoff valve is open, it might be
because the LP gas regulator has frozen water
in it.
^ WARNING
Risk of fire or explosion.
Never use a flame, heat lamp or hair dryer
to thaw an LP gas regulator.
Use an incandescent light bulb to warm the
regulator.
Do not remove the regulator cover or
attempt to service the LP gas regulator.

OORS
A vending or accessory door opens vertically and
has a hinge along its top edge. These heavy doors
are equipped with spring-assisted lifting, usually
with a device known as a “gas spring.”
The gas spring lifting device is not designed to hold
a vending door up. You must use the provided
