WARNING
Portable fuel burning appliances are not safe for heating inside the recreational vehicle. Asphyxiation or carbon
monoxide poisoning can occur.
Propane Tank
This unit is equipped with an ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) approved Propane tank. This
tank is controlled with an automatic pressure regulator. The Propane tank contains liquid petroleum gas under
high pressure. As the fuel is used, the liquid gas vaporizes and passes through the tank valve to a regulator that
automatically reduces the pressure. The low-pressure gas is then distributed to the appliances throughout the pipe
manifold system. Improperly adjusted regulators are the major cause of appliance lighting problems. Never
attempt to reset the regulator. This is to be done by a qualified service technician. While in high altitudes or
extreme cold weather a gas shortage may be experienced. Running one appliance at a time can help adjust to this
problem.
It is recommended to have the Propane system inspected by an authorized service technician at least once a year
and after every extended trip. This system is tested by both the manufacturer and the dealer. Leaks can be caused
by travel vibrations; therefore routine inspections are recommended.
The primary gas supply manifold is a black steel pipe running the length of the unit. Most secondary lines leading
to the gas appliances are made of copper tubing with flare fittings. If any of these lines rupture, do not attempt to
splice them. Always have a new line run. Gas distribution work must be performed by an authorized service
technician. When removing or servicing any gas appliance, close the main gas valve at the Propane tank. This will
prevent dangerous gas leakage that could result in an explosion and possible serious injury. If a gas leak is
suspected, have the system inspected and repaired by a qualified service technician as soon as possible.
WARNING
The main gas valve must be shut when the vehicle is not in use. Shut the valve off when refueling to avoid potential
danger from pilot lights igniting fuel fumes. Gas valves on appliances with direct spark ignition (DSI) should also be in
the off position. Do not store Propane, gasoline, diesel, or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle. Fire or an
explosion could be the result of ignoring this warning.
Propane Tank Filling
Do not fill the tank to more than 80 percent of capacity. The unit must be level when filling the Propane tank. If
unlevel, overfilling may occur. Fire or explosion may be the result of uncontrolled gas flow from an overfilled
tank.
Propane Regulator
The regulator is the heart of the Propane system. The regulator reduces the pressure of the gas so it is safe to use
with various appliances. Regulators are equipped with a vent. In the event excess pressure builds up in the body of
the regulator, a relief mechanism vents it to the atmosphere. It will vent until the pressure returns to the normal
range. The vent must be kept clean and clear of obstructions or corrosion. A clogged vent could cause the failure
of components. Contact a qualified Propane technician if corrosion or obstruction is noticed.
The presence of moisture in Propane fuel causes the regulators to freeze. The moisture will pass through the
cylinder valve and into the regulator where freezing occurs. To help prevent the regulator from freezing, always
