WARNING
Before entering a refueling station,
turn off all pilot lights and propane
operated appliances. Most propane
appliances used in motorhomes are
vented to the outside. Fuel vapors
can enter an appliance vent on a
motorhome that is parked close to
a gasoline pump, resulting in an
explosion or fire.
WARNING
Extinguish all sources of heat, sparks,
flames and smoking materials within a
50’ radius during the fueling process.
The propane tank fill is located in a roadside
or curbside compartment. The tank must
be filled to the proper level to allow for
expansion. An overfilled tank may cause the
safety valve to release pressure emitting a
strong rotten egg odor near the tank and/or a
hissing noise may be detected.
WARNING
Small amounts of propane can escape
and evaporate during the fueling
process. Protect bare skin. Instant
freezing will occur if exposed to
propane.
Propane exists in both liquid and vapor form
within the tank. A full tank is approximately
80% liquid. The pressure inside the tank varies
with the temperature of the liquid. All tanks
are required to have a safety pressure relief
device to release excess pressure. When the
tank is full, the gauge on the tank will only
read ¾. However, the interior monitor on the
systems control panel is adjusted to indicate
“full” at this point.
NOTE
If the tank is new and being filled
for the first time, inform the service
technician to purge any air from the
tank prior to filling.
Tank Operation
Manually open the primary shut-off
valve located on the propane tank when
operating appliances.
Turn off the primary shut-off valve on
the propane tank when the tank is being
filled, when driving, in between trips
and when in storage.


Hand-tighten the primary shut-off
valve only. DO NOT use a wrench or
pliers. This will over-tighten the valve.
The primary shut-off valve is designed
to be closed by hand. Over-tightening
may permanently damage the valve
seat.
CAUTION
In some states and Canadian
provinces, it may be illegal to drive the
motorhome while primary valve on the
propane tank is open.
