Basecamp, Inc. | Portable Shower
Operating Instructions and Owner’s Manual
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Propane is heavier than air. If propane leaks from a connection or
fitting, it sinks to the floor, collecting there with the surrounding
air, forming a potentially explosive mixture. During set up check
all connections and fittings for leaks using soapy water. Never use
flame. Bubbles indicate a leak. Check that the connection is not
cross threaded and that it is tight. Perform another leak check.
If there is still a leak, remove the cylinder and contact Basecamp
direct for service or repair.
