Propane
DANGER
DO NOT bring or store propane cylinders, gasoline
or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle. A fire
or explosion could result.
DANGER
DO NOT fill container(s) to more than 80% capac-
ity. Overfilling the propane tanks can result in
uncontrolled propane flow which can result in an
explosion or fire.
DANGER
NEVER use any other type of propane container
than the one furnished with your RV. If the tank
must be replaced, check with your dealer for
specifications.
DANGER
Propane regulators must always be installed with
the regulator 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 propane pressure,
causing fire or explosion.
DANGER
DO NOT rely upon being able to smell propane
leaks as the odor may not be strong enough to
detect.
DANGER
DO NOT use butane or butane mixtures in your
propane tank. When you fill your tanks, be sure to
use propane only.
DANGER
DO NOT make repairs to the propane tank supply
at the propane tank (or source). Except for simple
maintenance and occasional tightening of a con-
nection, always take your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for propane problems.
DANGER
Do not turn on the propane supply until the pro-
pane leaks have been repaired.
DANGER
Do not attempt to adjust or repair the regulator.
Adjustments and repairs require specialized train-
ing and tools. Contact a qualified propane Service
Technician. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire or explosion.
DANGER
Do not modify your propane system. Do not
remove components or replace with components
that are not of equal value. The propane system in
your recreational vehicle furnishes the fuel for
cooking, heating and hot water. Propane can also
be used as an alternate energy source for refrig-
eration. It is a clean, efficient and safe form of
energy when properly handled and safety precau-
tions are observed.
W ARNING
Always have an authorized propane supplier fill
your propane tanks. When the propane 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 the service valve is closed.
W ARNING
If you detect a sulfur or ‘rotten egg’ odor, DO 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 propane.
The propane 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 pro-
cess which ensures consistent pressure for use, regard-
less of outside temperatures, weather or altitude.
