LP GAS SYSTEM
WARNING
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1.
EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES, PILOT LIGHTS AND ALL SMOKING
MATERIALS.
2.
DO NO TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES.
3.
SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AT THE TANK VALVE(S) OR GAS SUPPLY
CONNECTION.
4.
OPEN DOORS AND OTHER VENTILATION OPENINGS.
5.
LEAVE THE AREA UNTIL ODOR CLEARS.
6.
HAVE THE GAS SYSTEM CHECKED AND LEAKAGE SOURCE CORRECTED
BEFORE USING AGAIN.
WARNING
A warning label has been located near the LP gas container.
This label reads:
DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S) TO MORE
THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas flow,
which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled container will
contain approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid LP gas.
Safety regulation prevents filling over 80 percent.
WARNING
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal
grills and stoves, must not be used inside the recreational vehicle.
The use of this equipment inside the recreational vehicle may cause
fires or asphyxiation.
WARNING
Storage of LP gas containers, gasoline or other flammable liquids
inside your vehicle – even for short periods of time – presents a
risk of fire and/or explosion. All flammable liquids should be stored
safely in a well-ventilated area outside your vehicle and in proper
containers.
WARNING
LP gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm
vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in compartments
have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that the
regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place
to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas
pressure causing a fire or explosion.
Liquid Propane (LP) gas,
when properly handled,
is a clean burning,
dependable fuel for all
your LP gas appliances.
The LP tank or tanks
mounted on your unit
contain liquid under high
pressure. The liquid
vaporizes into a gas and
passes through the
regulator which
automatically reduces
the gas pressure. The
low pressure gas is then
distributed to the
appliances. The arrow on the automatic gas regulator
will always point to the gas tank in service. When the
red flag appears in the inspection glass this indicates
that the tank is empty. The arrow should be turned to
allow the full tank to pressurize the system and the
empty tank should be filled as soon as possible.
Each tank has an automatic eighty percent stop-fill
valve that allows space in the tank for vapor expansion.
The high pressure vapor in the tank is reduced in two
stages as it makes its way to your appliance. The tank
pressure will vary with temperature and altitude, but it
may be in the range of 100 to 250 pounds per square
inch (psi) or more. It is reduced by a pressure regulator
to about 12 psi in the first stage and then to about 6.35
ounces in the second stage. The 6.35 ounces can also
be expressed as 11 inches of water column.
The LP gas system is designed and built to rigid
standards and tested before leaving the factory. Your
dealer also tests the system prior to customer delivery.

NOTE
YOUR DEALER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A THOROUGH LP GAS SYSTEM
CHECK PRIOR TO DELIVERY. DO NOT ACCEPT THE UNIT UNTIL THIS
CHECK HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
Except for simple maintenance and occasionally
tightening a connection, you should take your unit to an
authorized dealer for LP gas problems. An authorized
LP supplier should always fill the LP gas tank.
