Never use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. The built-in test switch accurately
tests the unit’s operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL).
Simply press the TEST switch any time during the warm-up cycle or while in normal
operation. The LED should flash red and the alarm should sound. Release the switch. This is the
only way you should test your detector. The test feature checks the full operation of the detector.
If this detector does not test properly return it immediately for repair or replacement.
TEST: This test procedure should be repeated every week or every time the recreation vehicle is
taken on a trip, whichever occurs first.
REFERENCE: Refer to the manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual or all the detector manufacturer,
if you have any questions about the Propane Gas Detector.
Never check for leaks with an open flame. The scent of Propane (a garlic-like odor) is
actually ethyl mercaptan, an additive that allows you to detect the presence of a leak, since
Propane is naturally odorless. Do not rely upon being able to detect the smell of the gas, as
the odor may fade.
Road vibration can loosen Propane fittings. It is important to check the Propane system for leaks
at least every 5,000 miles, and whenever the tank is filled. It is also a good idea to have the entire
Propane system checked annually by a qualified Propane service representative.
Use the following steps when checking the system for leaks:
1. Open all the windows and vents.
2. Open the gas tank service valve.
3. Use non-ammoniate, non-chlorinated soap solution, or an approved leak detection
solution on all line connections (ammoniate soap solutions can cause cracking on
copper or brass lines and fittings).
4. If a leak is detected, tighten the connection with two open end wrenches until
bubbling stops. DO NOT over tighten, or use excessive force. If the leak continues,
contact the recreation vehicle dealer, or a qualified Propane service representative to have
an 11" Water Column Test performed.
