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 RV.
The RV 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.
Propane is used as a fuel source for the
majority of your appliances.
Although both Entegra Coach 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 RV use or 5,000 miles of travel (or
at least once a year) as part of your normal
maintenance. Propane system leak testing
should be performed by your dealer or a
qualified propane service technician.
If you have further questions about the
operation of the appliances or the propane
system after reading this manual and vendor
manuals, contact your dealer for assistance.

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 RV, quickly
and carefully perform the procedure listed on
the following label. This label should be kept
permanently affixed to your RV.

It is important that everyone knows how to
turn off the propane system at the cylinders.

YSTEM
Have the RV checked for leaks at the
connections on the propane system soon
after the purchase and the initial filling of each
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.
It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that
you make a service appointment to have
your dealer test the propane system for
leaks at least once a year, as part of your
normal RV maintenance.
