SECTION

Living Quarters, LP and Electrical

supply at the LP tank (or source). Immediately call a Service

Center or LP gas supplier from an outside telephone and

follow their instructions.

DO NOT

turn on the gas supply until the gas

leaks have been repaired.

DO NOT

attempt to adjust or repair the

regulator. Adjustments and repairs require

specialized training and tools. Contact a qualified LP Service

Technician. Failure to follow these instructions could result

in fire or explosion.

DO NOT MODIFY YOUR LP SYSTEM. DO NOT REMOVE

COMPONENTS OR REPLACE WITH COMPONENTS THAT

ARE NOT OF EQUAL VALUE.

The liquid petroleum (LP) gas system in your recreational

vehicle furnishes the fuel for cooking, heating and hot water.

LP gas can also be used as an alternate energy source for

refrigeration. It is a clean, efficient and safe form of energy

when proper handling and safety precautions are observed.
The gas is stored with extreme pressure in the tank, with

space in the tank to allow for expansion into vapor. This

vapor is reduced in pressure by passing through a regulator.

This reduction in pressure is a two step process which

assures consistent pressure for use, regardless of outside

temperatures, weather or altitude.

REGULATOR

LP gas is under high pressure in the tank. The purpose of the

regulator is to reduce

the pressure inside

the tank to allow for

safe use. A two-stage

automatic regulator,

most commonly used

on dual tanks, offers

the convenience of

instant, automatic

changeover from the

empty to the full tank.

LP DETECTOR

• This detector senses propane gas in the air, not smoke or

fire or other gases. It detects the presence of propane gas at
the sensor, explosive gas may be present in other areas.

• Test your LP detector weekly. If the alarm is located behind

a closed door, it may not be heard.

• DO NOT attempt to repair the detector. If it fails the test,

change batteries, if it still does not function properly, replace
the entire unit.

LP GAS (LIQUID PROPANE)

DO NOT

bring or store LP gas cylinders,

gasoline or other flammable liquids inside

the vehicle. A fire or explosion could result.

DO NOT

fill container(s) to more than 80%

capacity. Overfilling the LP tanks can result in

uncontrolled gas flow which can result in an explosion or fire.

NEVER

use any other type of LP gas

container than the one furnished with your

RV. If the tank must be replaced, check with your dealer for

specifications.

LP gas regulators must always be installed

with the regular vent facing downward.

Regulators that are not in compartments have been equipped

with a protective cover. Be sure the regulator cover is kept in

place to minimize vent blockage that could result in excessive

gas pressure causing fire or explosion.

DO NOT

rely upon being able to smell LP

gas leaks as the odor may not be sufficiently

strong enough to detect.

DO NOT

use butane or butane mixtures in

your LP tank. When you fill your tanks be

sure to use propane only.

DO NOT

make repairs to the LP tank. The

LP gas system is designed to meet rigid

standards. Except for simple maintenance and occasional

tightening of a connection, always take your vehicle to an

authorized dealer for LP gas problems.

Aways have an authorized LP gas supplier

fill your LP tanks. When the LP gas container

is being filled,

DO NOT

smoke, strike a match or ignite a

lighter. A spark or flame could ignite fumes. Also be sure

all burner and pilot flames are out and theservice valve is

closed.

If you detect a sulfur or ‘rotten egg’ odor,

NOT

turn on any appliances. Shut off all

operating appliances. Extinguish any open flames, including

cigarettes.

DO NOT

touch any electrical switches. Open

windows and doors and exit the vehicle. Shut off the gas

WARNING

Two stage LP gas regulator most

commonly used on dual tanks

18 PSI (pressure per

square inch) single stage

LP gas regulator, most

commonly used on single

tanks

30 PSI (pressure per

square inch) single

stage LP gas regulator,

most commonly used

on single tanks

‘WARNING’ indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
