Section 7: Fuel & Propane System
98
Propane Use and Safety
Propane is a colorless and odorless gas that, in the lique-
fied state, resembles water. An odorant (usually a sulfur
compound) is added as a warning agent. If you smell
propane within the vehicle, quickly and carefully per-
form the procedure listed on the propane system label.
This label has been placed in the vehicle near the range,
for models equipped with a propane systemWhen pro-
pane container is low, occasionally there may be a con-
centration of an onion or garlic-like odor, which can be
mistaken for a propane gas leak. After the propane con-
tainer has been refueled, the odor will usually disappear.
If not, turn off the valve(s) and have the propane system
inspected by your dealer or qualified propane service rep

Propane Leak Test
Leaks may be found easily with a soapy water solution.
Do not use a solution containing ammonia or chlorine when locating leaks. These products
are corrosive to copper gas lines and brass fittings, which could result in deterioration of the
copper and brass components.
Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas piping fittings. If a leak is present, the
soapy solution will “bubble” at the leak point. If a leak is indicated, shut off the propane
system valve(s) and contact your dealer or qualified propane service representative imme

diately.
Using The Propane System
Use the following steps for propane operation:
1.
Close ALL burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2.
Open the main valve in the propane tank slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane vapor
through the excess flow valve causing propane “freeze-up.” Should you experience
propane “freeze-up,” close the main valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
3.
Listen carefully as propane begins to flow. If a hissing noise is heard for more than one
or two seconds, close the main valve and contact your recreation vehicle dealer to have
the propane system tested.
4.
Light the appliances as needed and directed in the appropriate appliance manu-
facturer’s owner manual located in the Warranty Packet.
Keep the propane container valves closed at all times unless you are using the propane gas
system or are having the propane container filled.
Make sure that you read and fully understand ALL safety requirements for handling
and operation of the propane system.
The propane system must be handled with care. If you have any questions or concerns, con-
sult with your dealer and/or the specific appliance manufacturer.
Propane System Label
Never use an open flame to test for a propane leak.
Do not check for leaks
using products that contain ammonia or chlorine; these products can cause
cracks to form on the metal tubing and brass fittings
