OPERATION
After the camper is completely set up and you are prepared for camping enjoyment, follow these
steps for LP gas operation.
1. Close all burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open the main valve on the LP gas tankslowly to avoid a fast rush of propane vapor through
the excess flow valve causing a "gas freeze." If you experience a gas "freeze-up," close main
valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as gas begins to flow. If hissing is heard for more than one or two seconds,
close the valve and search for the leak. (See the instructions below.)
4. Light the appliances as needed and directed in manufacturer’s owner’s manuals and the
appliance chapter.
Keep LP gas tankvalve(s) closed when traveling. Some states prohibit traveling with LP gas tank,
especially in underground tunnels on expressways.

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.
When an LP tankgets low, sometimes there is a concentration of garlic-like odor which may be
mistaken for a gas leak. After a change over to a full tank, the odor usually will disappear. If not, turn
off the LP and have the system checked by a qualified technician.
Checking for Leaks
Upon delivery and periodically thereafter, checkyour gas system for possible leaks. Although the
entire distribution system and its attached appliances have undergone factory testing for leaks, the
camper is subject to road vibrations, which can cause connections and fittings to develop leaks. If
you do encounter this odor, turn off all open flames immediately and begin a systematic search for
leaks throughout the gas system. Use a bubble solution of soapy water, without ammonia or chlorine
content, on connections and fittings. (NEVER USE A MATCH to checkfor leaks.) Bubbles will
appear at the leaky points. When tightening connections, use two wrenches with opposing torque to
prevent twisting of copper tubing. If the leakdoesn't show up in the manifold or copper tubing
distribution systems, checkthe appliances.

DANGER
IF YOU SMELL GAS

2. Do not touch electricl switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the container valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
7. Make sure everyone is out of the RV.
