It could cause the overflow valve to “blow-off” and emit a small
quantity of propane vapor. This can be detected by a strong odor
around tanks. Keep open flames away from this area. It is best to
remove the bottle, take it to a safe area, and “bleed-off” the excess
pressure by opening the valve slightly and closing it when discharge
has been sufficient, one to two minutes.
When disconnecting propane containers, you must turn the acme
fitting in a clockwise direction because left-hand threads are utilized.
When reconnecting, turn connections counterclockwise. Connec-
tions must be tight, however DO NOT over-tighten.
Propane cylinders shall not be placed or stored inside the vehicle. Propane
cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure by
discharging gas to the atmosphere.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
