WARNING:
DO NOT use propane while traveling
. The main propane service valve must be shut
off while traveling because of the danger of a fire or explosion if a propane line under pressure were
ruptured in an accident. In addition to being unsafe, it is ILLEGAL in some states to operate a
propane appliance while the vehicle is in motion.
• Inspect the entire LP gas system for possible leaks or damaged parts before each trip.
• When testing for leaks use soapy water.
•
WARNING:
Never check for LP gas leaks with an open flame.
• Never lock the LP gas compartments. The tank service valve should always be accessible in case
of an emergency.
•
WARNING:
Do not place or store an LP gas container inside the vehicle. LP gas containers are
equipped with safety devices, which relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas into the
atmosphere.
• Only have the LP gas tank filled by an authorized technician.
• Always make certain that the tank is secured in place.
•
WARNING:
Always extinguish all LP gas appliance pilot lights before refueling the gasoline tank on
your vehicle.
• Never use an upright tank in a lay down position or a lay down tank in an upright position.
• Use caution when drilling holes or fastening objects to the walls or floor of your camper. Gas lines
could be damaged and present an extreme safety hazard.
•
WARNING:
Never use natural gas in your LP gas system.
•
WARNING:
Most LP gas appliances used in recreational vehicles are vented to the outside of the
vehicle. When parked close to a gasoline pump, it is possible that the gasoline fumes could enter
this type of appliance and ignite from the burner flame, CAUSING A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, when refueling, shut off all LP gas appliances that are vented to the outside.
USING YOUR LP GAS SYSTEM AT LOW TEMPERATURES
Your gas system will function at low temperatures provided the system components are kept at a temperature
above the vapor point of the LP gas.
NOTE:
Propane vaporizes at about 40 degrees F below zero.
LP gas systems can and do freeze in very cold weather. It is a common misconception that the regulator or the
gas itself freezes. Actually, it is moisture or water vapor that gets trapped in the system or is absorbed by the
gas that freezes and causes the problem. This ice can build up and partially or totally block the gas supply.
There are a number of things you can do to prevent this freezing:
1. Be sure the propane tank is totally moisture-free before it is filled.
2. Be sure the tank is not overfilled. This is also a safety consideration.
3. Keep the valves on empty tanks tightly closed.
4. Keep the valve closed during storage periods.
5. Have the gas tanks purged by the LP gas technician if freezing occurs.
NOTE:
TLRV is not responsible for personal injury or property damage resulting form misuse or improper
maintenance of the propane system or propane appliances.
