Recommended Precautionary Practices
The following practices are recommended to assure continued safety and reliability of the LP gas system; these
are, of course, representative; not necessarily exhaustive. In all cases, use common good sense in the use of the
LP system.
•
Visually inspect the LP fill valve before any refueling operation to look for foreign materials or debris;
remove, as necessary, to assure a leak-tight connection.
•
Prior to any re-fueling operation of the LP gas system, shut off all the pilot lights.
•
NEVER, under any circumstances, check for LP gas leaks with any type of open flame; doing so would
probably cause an explosion and subsequent fire.
•
Periodically inspect visually the entire LP gas distribution system; do so at least annually and before any
major trips. Should problems be noted, seek the services of a qualified service technician to make
necessary repairs and perform any maintenance.
Warning
The LP gas distribution system in your motor home is designed for liquefied petroleum
(LP) gas ONLY. DO NOT attempt to connect and use any natural-gas or butane-gas
systems with this LP gas system.
Fire Safety
As with any enclosed system containing the three required conditions for fire (i.e., combustible materials,
oxygen, ignition sources), there will exist the possibility of fire. Tiffin Motorhomes has taken every precaution
and design practice to minimize or negate this possibility, but the final determination rests with the owner and
user of the motor home. Accordingly, it is in the best interests of the owners, users, and their guests to be
aware of basic fire-safety practices and procedures and those particular features that Tiffin Motorhomes has
provided for fire safety.
Fire Extinguisher
The Phaeton is equipped with a fire extinguisher (located on the floor between the
passenger’s chair and the passenger’s console) (Figure 2-7) rated for both Class B (i.e.,
grease, gasoline, diesel fuel, flammable liquids) and Class C (i.e., electrical) services—these
are typically the most likely types of fires to be expected in motor homes. Read and
understand the accompanying owner’s manual on that extinguisher (found in your
Owner’s Information Package) and remember the location of the extinguisher. In an
emergency, you won’t have the time or presence of mind to do so then.
