Do NOT
use flame or lighted matches to test for leaks.
Usually tightening the
connections will close leaks. If not, ask your authorized dealer service department
to make the necessary repairs.
LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking gas tends to flow to low places. It will
sometimes pocket in a low area. LP gas can usually be detected by an identifiable
odor similar to onions or garlic. Never light a match or allow any open flame in the
presence of leaking gas.
It is very important to have the main LP gas valve shut off during refueling of tow
vehicles.
Never allow gas containers to be filled above the liquid capacity indicated on the
container. If a container is overfilled, liquid gas may flow through the regulator
causing it to freeze and/or introduce a dangerous excessive gas pressure into the
lines. In addition, an overfilled container placed in hot sunlight may expel excess
gas through the relief valve and be susceptible to ignition by any nearby open
flame.
CAUTION: TURN GAS BOTTLES OFF WHEN LOWERING
TRAILER.
The refrigerator should be switched to 12-volt operation
while towing. Operation of gas appliances in the lowered trailer can
cause fire or other serious damage.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SAFETY
Circuit breakers and fuses are installed to protect electrical circuits from
overloading. Do not make unauthorized changes to circuitry or add fixed
appliances yourself. Before you make any changes, consult your dealer.
An approved power supply cord has been supplied with the trailer. Always use
this for hook-up to the 120-volt source. Note that the cord has a three-pin plug,
which provides proper grounding through the third (round) pin. Grounding is your
personal protection from electrical shock. Do not use any adapter, cheater, or
extension cord that will break the continuity of the grounding circuit connected to
that third pin. NEVER remove the grounding pin for the convenience of being
able to connect to non-grounded (only 2-prong) receptacle. Use a grounding
adapter with two prongs plus a "pig-tail" conductor, which should be externally
grounded.
NEVER operate your RV with a "hot skin". If you can feel even a small shock
from the RV while standing on the ground, you should immediately disconnect
the RV from the power source and locate the trouble. The fault is usually from a
break in the grounding circuit, which should be continuous from the skin or frame
to the distribution panel board to the third pin on the power supply cord and then
back to the park receptacle and earth ground.
