SECTION 5 –
PROPANE GAS
• Exercise caution at all times. Be familiar with
the distinctive odor of propane gas. If a leak is
suspected, turn off the supply valve
immediately. Have the propane gas system
checked by your dealer or other qualified
propane gas service center.
• Do not tamper with the propane gas piping
system, pressure regulator or gas appliances.
Service and maintenance of propane gas
system components should be performed only
by your dealer or a qualified propane gas
service center.
• Never attempt to connect natural gas to the
propane gas system.
• Have the entire propane gas system inspected
for possible leaks and missing or damaged
parts at each tank filling. Also inspect before
and after each trip, and any time trouble is
suspected.
• Turn the propane supply valve off when not
using the propane gas system.
• Never use a wrench to tighten the tank supply
valve. It is designed to close leak-tight by
hand. If a wrench is required to completely
close the valve, it is defective and must be
replaced.
• Be sure appliance and outside vents are open
and free from obstruction when using the
propane gas system.
• Never attach a lock or any device requiring a
key to the propane tank compartment door.
According to standards set for recreation
vehicles, the propane supply valve must be
readily accessible in an emergency.
• Exercise caution when drilling holes or
attaching objects to the walls. Gas lines and
electrical wiring could be seriously damaged
and present an extreme safety hazard.
PROPANE GAS WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS
It is illegal for vehicles equipped with propane
tanks to travel on certain roadways or through
certain tunnels in the U.S. To avoid
inconvenience, check state regulations
concerning flammable gas transportation.
Propane Gas Leaks
The following label is located in the vehicle
near the range area. If you smell gas within the
vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the
procedures listed.
• All pilot lights must be extinguished and
appliances and their ignitors turned off while
refilling the fuel tank or propane tank.
• Never smoke while refilling vehicle fuel tank
or propane gas tank.
• Avoid inhaling exhaust gases produced by
burned gasoline, diesel fuel or propane gas in
items such as the range, chassis engine,
generator engine, refrigerator, furnace and
water heater. They contain carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless, colorless and poisonous
gas.
