Section 7: Fuel & Propane System
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 immedi
-
ately.
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 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 dealer to have the propane
system tested.
4.
Light the appliances as needed and directed in the appliance manufacturer’s own-
er 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,
consult with your dealer and/or the specific appliance manufacturer.
If you have double cylinders on your recreation vehicle, use only one at a time. Otherwise,
the propane supply will be drawn equally from both cylinders until the supply has been to-
tally exhausted. Using one cylinder until it is empty and then using the second cylinder will
allow you to fill the empty cylinder at your convenience without running out of propane.
Cooking With Propane Gas
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the recreation ve-
hicle. Proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s) will help avoid the danger of
asphyxiation.
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.
Do not turn gas range burner controls to ON and allow gas to escape
before lighting.
Do not use portable fuel burning equipment (i.e., wood and charcoal
grills or stoves) inside the recreation vehicle.
