close, stopping the flow of propane. This device is designed to
equalize propane pressures in about 5 seconds, generally being
unnoticed. All pilot light valves must be turned off for equalization of
pressure to occur.
Main Supply Hose – Low Pressure
The main supply hose will be attached
from the regulator to the brass manifold
fitting in the frame of the coach. The
swivel brass nut on the main hose will be
your final attachment.
There are several things to remember each time the container is
removed:
1. Be sure ALL fittings are tight. Always use two wrenches for
brass connections.
2. Be sure ALL connections are tested for leakage.
3. Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of gas to flow-
limiting device causing gas “freeze”.
4. Listen carefully – a “hissing” sound longer than one second may
indicate a gas leak. Close valve and search for leak.
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 pro-
pane container valves open, especially in underground tunnels on
expressways.
Operation
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 are
closed.
2. Open main valve on propane container slowly to avoid a fast
rush through excess flow valve causing “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.
4. Light appliances as needed and directed in Chapter Five - Appli-
