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 camper.
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 Lance
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.
WARNING
Risk of death due to fire or explosion.
Do not connect a Propane gas system to a
supply of natural gas.
Extinguish all pilot lights and turn off all
appliances before refilling fuel or Propane
gas tanks.
Do not fill the tank with any gas other than
Propane.
Do not store Propane gas tanks inside the
trailer.
Keep the shutoff valve on your Propane gas tank
closed at all times, except when you are operating a
Propane gas appliance. Before opening the Propane
shutoff valve, turn off all Propane gas appliances. If
an appliance is on when you open the shutoff valve,
Propane gas can accumulate in the camper, which
can result in an explosion.
Do not use a wrench to open or close the shutoff
valve. If the shutoff does not completely stop the flow
of Propane gas when it is hand-tightened, replace the
shutoff valve.
Propane gas leaks can result in fire or explosion. If
your camper is equipped with a Propane gas system,
it must also be equipped with a Propane gas detec
-
tor. The Propane gas detector will be located near
the floor to detect the heavier-than-air Propane gas.
If a leak is suspected, use a soapy water solution to
search for the leak. Do not use a solution that con-
tains ammonia or chlorine (common in window and
other household cleaning compounds), because
those chemicals will cause Propane piping corrosion.
WARNING
Risk of fire or explosion
If Propane gas is detected (by smell or by the
Propane gas detector):
• Do not touch electrical switches
• Extinguish flames and pilot lights
• Open doors for ventilation
• Shut off Propane gas supply at the
Propane tank
• Leave the area until odor clears
Correct the source of Propane gas leakage
before using Propane appliances.
Do not use a flame to locate the source of a
propane gas leak.
Propane gas is compressed into liquid form. Propane
gas must be completely vaporized before being
burned.
NOTICE
Propane gas will operate at temperatures as
low as minus 44 degrees Fahrenheit (-44 F).
