1. Close ALL the burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open the main valve on the LP gas container slowly to avoid a fast rush through the
excess flow valve causing a “gas freeze.” If you experience a gas “freeze-up,” close
the main valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as the gas begins to flow. If “hissing” is heard for more than one or
two seconds, close the valve and search for the leak.
4. Light the appliances as needed and directed in the the appliance chapter and
supplemental manuals.

WARNING: Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and
charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used inside the recreation
vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the recreation vehicle may cause fires
or asphyxiation.
This warning label has been located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an
adequate amount of fresh air for combustion.

WARNING: IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE THE COOKING APPLI-
ANCE FOR COMFORT HEATING.
1. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operation:
a. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan.
b. Open window.
2. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of
the recreation vehicle, and proper ventilation when using the cooking
appliance(s) will avoid dangers of asphyxiation. It is especially important
that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating, as the danger of
asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN EXPLOSION RESULTING
IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Checking for Leaks
Please refer to Chapter 1, “Safety in Using LP Gas.”

DANGER
IF YOU SMELL GAS
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and all smoking materials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave area until odor clears.

Regulator
The regulator is the heart of your LP gas system, with
internal moving parts. Its function is to reduce the high
and varied pressure from the LP gas container to a safe
and consistent low operating pressure. The inlet is the
first stage and reduces the container pressure to 10-13
pounds. The second stage will reduce the 10-13 pound
pressure to an operating pressure of 11" W.C. (Water
Column) or 6.35 oz. of outlet pressure to the coach
system. The second stage is adjustable and will need to
be adjusted for precise operation. We suggest this
normal maintenance procedure be performed once per
year. DO NOT make any attempt to adjust the regula-
tor. Have only an authorized and competent technician
make any adjustments.

WARNING: LP gas regulators must always be installed with the
diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in a compart-
ment 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 fire or explosion.
Be sure that your LP gas regulator is protected from road spray. If water enters the vent
in the regulator, it may freeze the pressure controlling diaphragm in the open position so
that the LP gas container pressure is applied to the appliances – a hazardous condition.
Be sure to carefully read the instructions given by the manufacturer of the regulator.
Automatic Changeover Regulator
The automatic changeover regulator allows both gas bottles to be turned on simulta-
neously. The arrow on the regulator handle indicates which bottle is in service. When the
indicated bottle in service becomes empty, changeover is automatically accomplished to
commence drawing fuel from the other bottle. At this point, the plastic window will
display a red signal or flag to indicate the condition. The lever should then be flipped
over to indicate service on the other bottle. The first bottle which was depleted can then
be turned off, uncoupled and taken to be refilled without disturbing the RV gas supply.
After refilling, it can be removed and again turned to the “ON” position. When the other
bottle is depleted, the LP gas supply will again be automatically changed back to the first
bottle.

WARNING: All pilot lights and appliances must be turned OFF during
refueling of motor vehicle tanks and/or LP gas containers.
Operation
After the camper is completely set up and you are prepared for camping enjoyment,
follow these steps for LP gas operation.
