SECTION 8
PROPANE SYSTEM
The following label should be kept
permanently affixed to your RV.

Servicing or filling
Have the RV checked for leaks at the
connections on the propane system soon
after the purchase and the initial filling of each
propane cylinder. When you have a new
cylinder filled for the first time, make sure your
propane supplier purges your new cylinder of
trapped air. Otherwise, an improper mixture of
gas and air will make it impossible to light
your propane appliances.
When a propane container is low,
occasionally there may be a concentration of
an onion or garlic-like odor, which can be
mistaken for a propane leak. After a propane
cylinder has been refueled, the odor will
usually disappear. If not, turn OFF each
propane cylinder shut off valve and have the
propane system inspected by your dealer or a
qualified propane service representative.
No one should be inside and only the qualified
propane service technician should be near the
RV while the propane tank is being filled. The
new propane container must be carefully
purged for best performance and must
NEVER BE OVERFILLED. The following
label should be kept permanently affixed to
your RV.
Fig. 8.4 “Shut off during re-fueling” label
Before filling your propane cylinder, make
sure that the propane technician is qualified
(knows and understands proper inspection
and safety procedures.)
The position of the propane container(s) and
the hoses are critical to proper operation and
propane flow. Follow these instructions to
make sure your propane container(s) are
connected properly.
Before entering a propane or fuel service
station make sure all pilot lights are
extinguished. Shut off gas to all appliances
by closing the propane gas main shut off
valve. Always shut OFF any engine before
refueling. Do not smoke and do not
operate other ignition sources while
refueling.
The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid
tension or pulling stress at either end of the
hose. Keep the pigtail hose away from
sharp edges of the cylinder collar, rigid
corners, walls, doors or other compartment
structures including the cover.
