PROPANE & SAFETY SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a Propane system which, when properly handled and maintained, will provide
trouble and worry free operation of your Propane fueled appliances.
Propane fuel is stored in a liquid state under extremely high pressure. As fuel is used, Propane vapor passes from
the top of the tank through the regulator into the gas lines and eventually to the appliances.
Although the entire system has undergone extensive factory and dealer testing for leaks, the system’s connections
and fittings are subjected to road vibrations and therefore should be checked annually for possible leaks.
Propane fuel is extremely flammable, colourless, heavier than air and smells like garlic or rotten eggs.
IF YOU SMELL GAS, extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and smoking materials immediately. Do not touch any
electrical switches. Leave vehicle, shut off the Propane supply at the tank valve and open doors and windows to
provide maximum ventilation. Leave the area until the odor clears. Have the system checked and the leak
corrected before use.
The Propane tank fuel valve must be turned ON to operate Propane fueled appliances.
WARNING: Propane tanks shall not be placed or stored inside your vehicle. Propane tanks are equipped with safety
devices which relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas into the atmosphere.
WARNING: To reduce the danger of fire or explosion, do not store gasoline or other flammable liquids inside
your vehicle.
WARNING: Ensure you purchase Propane from a reputable Propane facility. Contaminated Propane is a common
cause of system failure.
WARNING: Follow all recommended maintenance schedules.
NOTE: Some of the safety detectors may sound alarms during initial startup of RV systems and appliances. In
particular, the propane detector will sound when the battery is turned on each time. Also, the first few times the
furnace is operated for more than a few minutes the smoke detector will alarm. This is because there is oil on some
parts of the furnace that will be burned off during these first few usages. This behaviour should stop after 2-3
usages of the furnace.
