technician for assistance immediately. Do not
attempt to service a propane container overfill
yourself.
Maintenance
Propane gas is normally non-corrosive - you
need not worry about the inside of your
container. However, the outside should be
kept free from rust by a periodic coat of paint
in a light reflective color. Rust, scratches
and/or dents can affect the safety of the
cylinder. Inspect the cylinder at regular
intervals. If there is a problem, have it
evaluated by a qualified technician and
discard it. DOT requires that a visual
inspection be made prior to each filling.
Any cylinder that has been exposed to fire,
leaks or seems damaged should not be
refilled. Do not attempt to repair any
containers, container valves, regulator or
appliances by yourself. Use only trained
certified propane gas service technicians to
perform repairs.
Propane cylinder recertification
If you have an older park trailer you should
know that, according to Federal law, DOT
cylinders may only be used for 12 years after
their manufacture date (the number of years
for certification may vary in your area). After
that, the cylinders must be "recertified" which
provides another five years of use. The
cylinders can be recertified every five years
thereafter. Federal DOT (Department of
Transportation) regulations require periodic
inspections and re-qualifications of the
propane cylinders. DO NOT USE damaged or
rusted containers.
Verify with your local propane dealer that all
required inspections and certifications have
been completed on the propane cylinder
within the correct time period before refilling
the cylinder.

Have the LP system checked for leakage
each time a cylinder is refilled or after any part
of the propane system has been
disconnected.
The two-stage regulator has the only moving
components in the propane system. Its sole
function is to reduce the pressure from the
propane containers to a safe and consistent
low operating pressure. The first stage
reduces the container pressure to 10-13 lbs.
The second stage reduces the 10-13 lbs. of
pressure further to an operating pressure of
11” W.C. (water column) or 6.35 oz. of outlet
pressure to your appliances. The second
stage is adjustable and will need to be
adjusted by your dealer or qualified propane
service technician for optimum performance
(this adjustment should always be made with
a properly calibrated manometer). If the
pressure is too high, it affects performance
and safety; if the pressure is too low, your
appliances will not operate correctly.
If your park trailer is equipped with the
“automatic” two-stage regulator, with both
cylinders full of propane, turn the lever on the
regulator towards the cylinder you wish to use
first. This will now be the “supply” cylinder and
the other the “reserve.” Slowly open both
cylinder valves. The indicator on top of the
regulator will turn bright green. When the
cylinder becomes empty, the indicator will
change to bright orange. Now turn the
regulator lever to the side of the “reserve”
cylinder and the green signal should return.
You may now remove the empty cylinder to
have it refilled without interrupting the flow
from the full bottle. After filling the cylinder,
connect the pigtail hose and slowly open the
bottle valve.
Propane regulators must always be
installed with the regulator vent facing
downward. Regulators that are not located
in baggage compartments have been
equipped with a protective cover. Make
sure the regulator vent faces downward
and (if applicable) the cover is in place to
minimize vent blockage that could result in
excessive gas pressure causing fire or
explosion.
