Should you experience a gas “freeze-up”, close the main valve and wait
15 minutes before trying again. Keep the container valve (s) closed when
traveling. Some states prohibit traveling with the propane container
valves open, especially in underground tunnels on expressways.
Operating Instructions
After the camper is completely set up and you are prepared for camping
enjoyment, follow these steps for propane operation.
1. Be sure ALL burner valves, controls, and pilot light valves (if any)
are closed.
2. Open main valve on propane container slowly to avoid a fast
rush through excess flow valve ca
using “gas freeze”.
3.
Listen carefully as gas begins to flow. If a “hissing” sound is
heard for more than one or two seconds, close valve and search
for a potential leak. Solve leak before proceeding.
4. Light appliances as needed and directed in Chapter Five,
Appliances.
The entire propane distribution system and appliances have gone
through complete factory and dealer tests for any leakage. When
traveling with your RV, normal vibrations and road movement may cause
connections to loosen and develop leaks.
For normal maintenance we advise all owners to test for leakage at least
once per year or more often. You may request your dealer to perform a
maintenance check each spring.
Should you encounter an odor, possibly propane, turn off any and all open
flames and begin a systematic search for leaks on the complete gas
system. NEVER USE A MATCH. Use a soapy water solution which
contains NO AMMONIA, or CHLORINE content to check for leaks. If a
leak is identified, bubbles will appear. ALWAYS use two open end or 6
point wrenches when tightening brass connections to prevent twisting of
copper.
For your own protection, the preceding warning label has been placed
near the cooking area to remind you of the need of oxygen for
combustion and breathing. Due to smaller area in your recreational
vehicle, there is less oxygen than in your home. Proper ventilation is
required when cooking.
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and
charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used inside the
recreational vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the
recreational vehicle may cause fire or asphyxiation.
