SAFETY
LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS SYSTEM
Check the propane gas system for leaks yearly or as necessary. If you smell gas within the motorhome,
quickly perform the following:
IF YOU SMELL PROPANE
• Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking materials.
• Do not touch electrical switches.
• Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve or gas supply connection.
• Open doors, windows and other ventilating openings.
• Leave the area until the odor clears.
• Have the propane system checked and leakage source corrected immediately.
A failure to comply could result in serious injury or death.
Any overfilling of the LP gas container(s) can result in uncon-
trolled gas flow—a prime condition for a fire or explosion.
The LP container should only be filled to 80 percent of its ca-
pacity; the remainder of the cylinder space is an air space to
contain expansion of that liquid when subjected to varying
ambient-temperature conditions.
Filling in excess of 80 percent of the liquid volume of the con-
tainer reduces that air space and, thus, creates a condition for
possible over-pressurization of the container.
All LP appliances in your motorhome have been approved for
use in motorhomes by a nationally-recognized testing labo-
ratory (i.e., UL and CSA certified). When properly used, LP
gas is a clean-burning fuel which can be dependably used.
In actuality, the LP container contains liquid propane under
high pressure.
A WARNING label such
as this is located near the
LP gas container.
WARNING
DO NOT FILL the LP container to more than
80 percent of capacity.
