All pilot lights, appliances and their ignitors (see operating instructions) shall be turned off before refueling of motor fuel. Tanks
and/or propane containers. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
If you smell gas:
Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking materials.
DO NOT touch electrical switches.
Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
Open doors and other ventilating openings.
DO NOT use the range hood.
Leave the area until the odor clears.
Have the LP system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
Overfilling the propane container can result in uncontrolled gas flow, which can cause fire or explosion.
A properly filled container will contain approximately 80% of its volume as liquid propane.
Overfilled Propane tanks must be bled.
This is different than purging the tanks. When the tanks are new, they must be purged of the
oxygen in the tanks used during the tank manufacturer’s testing procedure prior to being filled with propane. Overfilled tanks will
emit liquid into the propane system, which can cause problems/plugging with the regulator used on the tanks, range and generator. A
bathroom scale can be used to weigh the tanks prior to reinstalling them in the camper. A 5-gallon tank should not weigh more than
35lbs. when filled. A 7-gallon tank should not weigh more than 50lbs. when filled. Instructions for bleeding the tanks are located on a
label on the tank.
The following label has been placed in the vehicle near the range area.
