Propane leaks may be found easily with a soapy water solu-
tion. Do not use a solution containing ammonia or chlorine.
These chemicals are corrosive to copper gas lines and brass
fittings, which could result in deterioration of the copper and
brass components.
Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas pipe fittings.
If a leak is present, the soapy solution will ‘bubble’ at the leak
point. If a leak is indicated, shut OFF the propane system
valve(s) at the propane tank, and immediately contact a your
selling dealer’s service department or qualified propane ser-
vice representative to arrange repairs.
Your motorhome may be equipped with an external propane
quick connect/quick disconnect. This low-pressure gas source
is a convenient propane connection for an external gas appli-
ance, such as a gas grill, fryer, or other gas device.
This external propane hook-up has its own manual gas shut-
off valve, located directly behind the quick disconnect port. To
operate the Propane Hook-up:
1. Ensure the manual shut-off valve is OFF.
2. Confirm your gas appliance is fitted with a proper gas
hose and mating connector, and if so, connect it to the
propane quick-release port.
3. Turn ON the main gas valve.
4. Slowly open the manual shut-off valve, listening to ensure
there are no gas leaks. IF A GAS LEAK IS DETECTED,
IMMEDIATELY CLOSE THE SHUT-OFF VALVE.
AND DETERMINE AND REPAIR THE SOURCE OF
THE LEAK.
5. When safe to do so, operate the gas appliance.
6. After using the gas appliance, turn OFF the manual shut-
off valve.
ENSURE THIS GAS VALVE IS OFF WHENEVER
TRAVELING, RE-FUELING, AND WHEN THE
EXTERNAL PROPANE HOOK-UP IS NOT IN USE.
Always follow the gas appliance manufacturer’s instructions
for safe operation of all gas devices.
NOTE: Some gas appliances may have built-in gas
regulators that could make the device incompatible
with this low-pressure propane source.
Propane Leak Test
If a propane gas leak is detected, close all gas valves
and turn off all igniters.
Do not use any part or component of the propane
system until the leak is properly repaired by a qualified
technician.
