FUEL & LP SYSTEM
piping and copper tubing lines to each
appliance.
Propane is heavier than air; the gas tends to
flow to lower areas and will sometimes pocket
in these low areas, such as the floor.
Your motor home is equipped with a propane
alarm (refer to
Sec. 2 Safety Precautions,
Combination Carbon Monoxide (CO)/Propane
Alarm.)
Maintenance
Although both Jayco and your selling dealer
carefully test for leakage, travel vibrations can
loosen fittings. Have the vehicle propane
system checked at all connections soon after
the purchase of your vehicle, and after the
initial filling of the propane tanks.
NOTE:
All propane lines have been checked
with air pressure at the time of manufacture.
Dealers are required to recheck and adjust
pressure before retail delivery.
Continued periodic checks of the propane
system at 5,000 miles of travel (or at least
once a year), by a qualified propane service
representative as part of your normal
maintenance is recommended. Hand tighten
the LP gas system valves only, do not use a
wrench or pliers as over tightening may
damage the valve seals and cause them to
leak.
The following labels should be kept
permanently affixed to the motor home:

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 an independent
Jayco dealer or qualified propane service
representative immediately.
DANGER
ALL PILOT LIGHTS, APPLIANCES, AND
THEIR IGNITORS (SEE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS) SHALL BE TURNED OFF
BEFORE REFUELING OF MOTOR FUEL
TANKS AND/ OR PROPANE CONTAINERS.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN
DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING
DO NOT FILL PROPANE CONTAINER(S)
TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF
CAPACITY.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN
DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
CAUTION
THIS PIPING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR
USE WITH PROPANE ONLY. DO NOT
CONNECT NATURAL GAS TO THIS SYSTEM.
Securely cap this inlet when not connected for
use. After turning on propane, except after
normal cylinder replacement, test propane
piping and connection to appliances for leakage
with soapy water or bubble solution. Do not use
products that contain ammonia or chorine.
DD-37
Propane cylinders should not be placed or
stored inside the vehicle. LP-gas cylinders
are equipped with safety devices that
relieve pressure by discharging gas into
the atmosphere
6 - 3
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
