Main Supply Hose – Low Pressure
The main supply hose will be attached from the regulator to the brass
manifold fitting in the frame of the coach. The swivel brass nut on the
main hose will be your final attachment.

There are several things to remember each time the container is
removed:
1. Be sure ALL fittings are tight. Always use two wrenches for brass
connections.
2. Be sure ALL connections are tested for leakage.
3. Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of gas to flow-limiting
device causing gas “freeze”.
4. Listen carefully – a “hissing” sound longer than one second may
indicate a gas leak. Close valve and search for leak.
Should you experience a gas “freeze-up”, close the main valve and wait
15 minutes before trying again. Keep the container valve(s) closed when
traveling. Some states prohibit traveling with the propane container valves
open, especially in underground tunnels on expressways.
Operation
After the camper is completely set up and you are prepared for camping
enjoyment, follow these steps for propane operation.
1. Be sure ALL burner valves, controls, and pilot light valves are
closed.
2. Open main valve on propane container slowly to avoid a fast rush
through excess flow valve causing “gas freeze”.
3. Listen carefully as gas begins to flow. If a “hissing” sound is heard
for more than one or two seconds, close valve and search for a
potential leak.
4. Light appliances as needed and directed in Chapter Five -
Appliances.
