counter-clockwise to tighten. The P.O.L. fitting has been designed to help restrict the flow
of LP gas in the event of a regulator failure or hose malfunction.
Propane Regulator
Single stage regulator
Some models are equipped with a single stage regulator.
Two stage regulator
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 pro
-
pane 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.r recreation vehicle is equipped with the “automatic”
two-stage regulator, with both cylinders full of propane, turn the lever on the regulator to-
wards 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.

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 system.
When propane container is low, occasionally there may
be a concentration of an onion or garlic-like odor, which
can be mistaken for a propane gas leak. After the pro-
pane container has been refueled, the odor will usually
disappear. If not, turn off the valve(s) and have the pro
-
pane system inspected by your dealer or qualified pro
-
pane service representative.
