The empty tank can be removed for filling without
disturbing the gas flow to the trailer by rotating or
sliding the tank selector to the full tank. The red band
will disappear from the window indicating pressure
supply from the full tank. Turn off the outlet valve on
the empty tank before disconnecting.
PROPANE AT LOW TEMPERATURES
Propane systems can and do freeze up in very cold
weather. It is a common misconception that the
regulator or the propane itself freezes. Actually, it
is moisture or water vapor that gets trapped in the
system or absorbed by the propane that freezes and
causes the problem.
Where does the water come from? From a variety of
sources. The propane can be saturated with water
when it comes out of the gas plant or refinery unless
care is taken to see that it is thoroughly dehydrated.
The propane can absorb water while it is transported
if the tank cars contain water; or the propane storage
tanks may have water in them because moist air has
been trapped in the tank because a valve was left
open.
When this water freezes, the ice can build-up and
partially or totally block the propane supply. There are
a number of things you can do to prevent this freeze
up.
1. Be sure the propane tank is totally moisture-free
before it is filled.
2. Be sure the tank is not overfilled. This is also a
safety consideration.
3. Keep the valves on empty tanks closed.
4. Have the gas tanks purged by the propane
service station if freeze-up occurs.
5. Have the propane service station inject an
approved antifreeze or de-icer into the tank(s).
6. Be sure you have the proper propane blend
for your traveling area. If you have the proper
propane blend, it is very unlikely that the propane
is at fault.
If, despite precautions, you do experience freeze-up,
try melting the ice by warming the regulator with a
cloth soaked in warm water if available or regular tap
water. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME. If the problem
persists, ask your propane supplier to service the
tank or regulator as required.
COMBO CARBON MONOXIDE AND PROPANE
LEAK DETECTOR
Refer to the section on Fire and Safety, on the opera-
tion of the Combo Carbon Monoxide & Propane Leak
Detector.
PROPANE GAS FUEL SYSTEM
Propane gas systems are installed to operate a
variety of appliances, such as stoves, refrigerators,
heating units and electrical generators. The exhaust
fumes from burning propane gas contain odorless
and can cause death or serious brain injury if in-
haled. The exhaust from propane appliances must be
directed to the outdoors. You must have an operating
carbon monoxide detector in the accommodation
space of your trailer.
DANGER
You can die or be brain damaged by Carbon
Monoxide.
Make certain the exhaust from Propane
appliances is directed to the outdoors.
Have a working carbon monoxide detector
in the accommodation spaces of your trailer
before operating any Propane gas appliance.
Do not operate portable grills, portable
stoves, portable lanterns or portable heaters
inside the trailer.
When used for the first time, or after a period of stor-
age, the Propane gas lines will be full of air and must
be purged of air, before the appliances will stay lit.
Have the Propane gas lines purged by your trailer
dealer, or a Propane gas dealer.
A Propane gas system is designed to operate with
a supply of Propane gas only, NOT natural gas. A
natural gas supply is unsafe for the system’s pressure
regulation devices.
