PROPANE SYSTEM

LP
(liquefied petroleum)
gas is a clean and
efficient form of energy when proper handling
and safety precautions are observed. It
enables you to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle
when other forms of energy are not easily
accessible. LP-gas includes propane, butane
and/or a mixture of both.
Regulatory codes
require you use propane only in your park
trailer.
Propane is used as a fuel source for the
majority of your appliances. The propane
system is comprised of a propane container
or cylinder, a two-stage regulator, hoses,
piping and tubing to deliver propane to each
appropriate appliance. If you have further
questions about the operation of the
appliances or the propane system after
reading this Owner’s Manual and the OEM
operator’s manuals, contact your dealer or a
qualified propane service technician.
Testing the propane system
Although both Jayco and your selling dealer
test carefully for leakage, travel vibrations can
loosen fittings. Continued maintenance is
necessary for safe operation. The propane
system should be checked every 30 days of
park trailer use or 5,000 miles of travel (or at
least once a year) as part of your normal
maintenance. The propane system testing
should only be performed by your dealer or a
qualified propane service technician.

RECAUTIONS
Propane is a colorless and odorless gas that
in the liquefied state resembles water. An
odorant (ethyl mercaptan) with a scent similar
to rotten eggs is added as a warning agent. It
is possible some individuals may be less
sensitive to the odorant used and not notice
the smell of propane.
If you do not smell the propane odorant (for
example, when filling the propane cylinder),
notify your dealer or propane service provider
immediately.
Propane is flammable, is always contained
under pressure, and the liquid can freeze
skin. Always wear protective clothing such as
gloves and eye protection when the potential
for contact with liquid propane is present. If
you smell propane gas within the park trailer,
quickly and carefully perform the procedure
listed on the label below. This label should be
kept permanently affixed to your park trailer.
Fig. 8.1 “If you smell propane” label
It is important that everyone knows where
to find the propane cylinder manual shut
off valve, and understands to operate it.
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.
The propane cylinder is equipped with a
safety valve that relieves excessive
pressure by discharging gas to the
atmosphere. Do not bring or store portable
propane containers(s) or other flammable
liquids inside the park trailer because a fire
or explosion may result.
