Make sure that the tank is not filled beyond the 80% liquid level. Even though the tank is
equipped with an automatic 80% shut-off which prevents over-filling beyond 80% tank
capacity, it is a good idea to have the supplier monitor the 20% liquid gauge, and stop the
filling process if liquid does appear. If the tank has been over-filled, make sure the Propane
supplier bleeds out the excess. Over-filling the propane gas container does not allow for the
necessary 20% vapor expansion space that can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can
cause a fire or explosion.
NOTE: Make sure the tank service valve is accessible at all times. In an emergency, it may be
necessary to shut off the valve quickly.
1. Before entering the propane bulk plant or service station, make sure all pilot lights are
extinguished. Shut off gas to all appliances by first turning off each appliance, then close
the propane gas main shut-off valve.
2. Extinguish open flames and smoking materials.
3. Never remove the propane gas tank from the recreation vehicle. Always drive the
recreation vehicle to the gas supplier to fill.
4. Have the supplier connect the fill nozzle to the tank fill connection.
5. Always remember to close the supply valve, and open the 20% liquid level valve.
6. Never use a wrench to close the service or the 20% liquid level valve. If when closing by
hand, leaking occurs, have the valve repaired or replaced.
7. Drive at least one mile from the propane gas supplier before relighting pilot lights or
appliances. This will allow any minimal leakage which occurred while filling the tank to
dissipate. DO NOT light pilot lights if you continue to smell propane gas. Shut off the
Supply Valve. Allow the recreation vehicle to ventilate for 30 minutes. If you still detect
propane odor, have the source of the leak located and repaired.
Never use any other tank than the one furnished with the recreation vehicle. If the tank must be
replaced, check with your dealer for correct tank specifications and replacement procedure.
