Checking for Leaks
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 com-
plete gas system. NEVER USE A MATCH. Use a soapy water so-
lution which contains NO AMMONIA, or CHLORINE content to
check for leaks. If a leak is identified, bubbles will appear. AL-
WAYS use two wrenches when tightening brass connections to pre-
vent 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
