devices that relieve pressure by
discharging propane to the atmosphere.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Never use an open flame to test for propane gas leaks. Replace all protective covers and
caps on propane system after filling. Make sure valve is closed and door latched securely.
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be
used inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the recreational vehicle
may cause fires or asphyxiation. Regulators are equipped with a protective cover. Make sure
that the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to minimize vent
blockage, which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
5-4 PROPANE GAS PRESSURE
REGULATOR
The pressure regulator is protected from the elements by a plastic cover, which should be left in
place at all times.
Propane regulators must always be installed with the regulator vents facing downward.
Regulators that are not in compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make
sure that the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to minimize vent
blockage that could result in excessive propane pressure causing fire or explosion.
Only your dealer or a qualified propane gas service should remove the regulator cover for
adjustments.
Visually inspect the pressure regulator
vent periodically for blockage by
accumulated debris or insect nests, etc.
Vent obstruction could result in excessive pressure causing fire or explosion, which could result
in death or serious injury. If an obstruction exists, have the regulator serviced by a qualified
service center.
Look up inside hole on underside of
regulator housing to see vent screen
Regulator Freeze-up
Be sure vent hole is not blocked.
Regulator freeze-ups are caused by the presence of moisture
in fuel. This moisture will pass through the cylinder valve and into the regulator where it can
freeze. Fuel producers, tank and bottle manufacturers, and propane gas dealers take every
precaution to reduce moisture, but sometimes only a fraction of an ounce entering the tank can
cause problems. To help avoid the possibility of freeze-up, always keep tank control valve
closed when not in use, even when tank is empty, to prevent moisture from collecting on the
inside.
If regulator freeze-up should occur, you may attempt to thaw the regulator using a light bulb.
