USING PROPANE SYSTEM
It is normal to have a slight gas odor when initially
opening the outlet valve. Fully open and seat valve by
hand only to prevent leakage past the valve stem. If
an odor seems to linger perform a leak test.
Keep outlet valves closed when not using the propane
system.
Do not attempt to adjust the regulator. The
manufacturer has preset it. If any adjustment is
required, a qualified propane service technician using
special equipment must make it.
NOTE: The Owner’s Information Package contains a
helpful hints pamphlet about propane containers.
SINGLE PROPANE TANKS
Single propane tanks are equipped with a two-stage
regulator. Be sure the regulator is securely fastened to
the tank with the diaphragm vent facing downward.
When using the tank, simply open the valve.
DUAL PROPANE TANKS
Dual propane tanks are equipped with a two-stage
automatic changeover regulator, which transfers
propane demand automatically to the second tank
when the first tank becomes empty.
For proper operation, both outlet valves must be
opened. Turn or slide the tank selector knob so it
points to the tank you wish to provide service. A small
glass window is located on the regulator. A clear or
green band will appear in the window indicating that
pressure is in the line from the tank. After all propane
is used from that tank, the regulator will automatically
switch service to the other tank, and a red band will
FILLING PROPANE TANK
All new propane tanks must be purged of air and
moisture before filling for the first time. The propane
tanks should be filled according to the instructions on
page 5 and on the tank safety labels.
Filling should be done only at authorized propane
fueling stations. Please observe the following
instructions when filling the storage tanks.
D.O.T. regulation #173-34 prohibits propane tanks from
being refilled inside the RV. The tank(s) must be
removed from the compartment to be properly
inspected before refilling.
Use propane tanks in their proper position.
1. A small amount of anhydrous methanol (3/4 oz per
5 gal) can be added before filling an empty tank to
prevent freeze ups. Check with your propane
dealer or the propane tank manufacturer’s
information in the Owner’s Information Package
provided with your camper.
2. The law requires at least a 20% vapor space for
safety. A special liquid level valve is installed in the
tank to indicate when the tank has reached 80% of
it volume as liquid propane. Stop filling when liquid
appears at this valve.
3. Use vapor only. All propane appliances for cooking,
heating, lighting, water heating, and refrigeration
are designed to operate on propane vapor only.
Therefore, all propane tanks designed for vapor
service must be transported, installed and used in
the proper position. propane containers are
permanently marked with “TOP” stamped on tank,
welded to the tank or “ARROWS must point up”
stamped in the guard or bracket to identify the
proper position.
4. Do not transport, install or use a vertical cylinder in
a horizontal or upside down position. Never use a
horizontal cylinder or tank on its improper side.
Liquid propane could enter systems designed for
vapor only, creating a hazardous condition.
5. Do not carry or store filled or empty propane
containers inside your camper. Propane containers
are equipped with a safety device that relieves
excessive pressure by discharging gas to the
atmosphere. Leaks can occur at valves and fittings.
Always store propane tanks with the valves closed.
6. Always use the dust cap when transporting or
storing disconnected tanks (full or empty).
7. All propane tanks must be securely attached in the
proper position for intended use. Use all brackets
provided to ensure proper support and positioning.
8. Route all propane lines carefully and avoids kinking
the lines. A kinked hose can limit or cutoff the flow
of propane through the system.
Do not transport, install or use a vertical cylinder in a
horizontal or upside down position. Liquid propane
could enter systems designed for vapor only, creating
a hazardous condition.
