leaks. The entire distribution system and its attached appliances have
undergone factory testing for leaks. However, because trailers are subject to
road vibrations, connections and fittings can develop leaks. If you do encounter
a gas-leak odor, turn off all open flames immediately and begin a systematic
search for leaks throughout the gas system. Use a bubble solution of soapy
water to check for leaks on connections and fittings. Bubbles will appear at the
leaky points.
Never use a match to check for leaks.
When tightening
connections, use two wrenches with opposing torque to prevent twisting of
copper tubing. If the leak doesn't show up in the manifold or copper tubing
distribution systems, then check the appliances. See appliance manufacturer’s
instruction.
LP GAS REGULATOR SETTING
Never attempt to reset the gas regulator yourself. Have an authorized service
agency make any regulator adjustments. Even a little amount of pressure over
the recommended setting can cause damage to appliances and regulators.
Your trailer is equipped with an "excess flow" valve that is intended to restrict the
flow of escaping gas in the event of a break in the gas supply line. The
"Dual-stage" regulator reduces the gas pressure to eleven inches of water
column. It is important to turn your gas bottle valve slowly to eliminate a chance
of a fast rush of gas from the tank. This would possibly "freeze" the excess flow
valve and shut off your gas supply. Should this happen, turn off your gas valve
at the tank. Wait about 15 minutes and try again.
USING THE AUTOMATIC CHANGEOVER REGULATOR
TrailManor trailers with dual LP tanks are equipped with an automatic
changeover regulator. This accessory allows both gas bottles to be turned on
simultaneously. The arrow on the regulator handle indicates which bottle is in
service. When the indicated bottle is emptied, the regulator automatically begins
drawing fuel from the other bottle. At this point, the plastic window will display a
red signal or flag to indicate the condition. You should then flip the lever over to
indicate service on the other bottle. The first depleted bottle can then be turned
off, uncoupled, and refilled without disturbing the RV gas supply. After refilling, it
should be remounted and again turned to the "On" position. This allows both
bottles to be utilized once more.
PROPANE GAS LEAK DETECTOR
Your TrailManor is equipped with a combination carbon monoxide and LP gas
leak detector for safety. This detector is located near the floor level beside the
