on LP system after filling. Make sure valve is
closed and door latched securely.
•
Never connect natural gas to the LP gas sys-
tem.
•
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including
wood and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not
be used inside the recreational vehicle. The
use of this equipment inside the recreational
vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
•
LP gas regulators must always be installed
with the diaphragm vent facing downward.
Regulators are equipped with a protective
cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces
downward and that the cover is kept in place
to minimize vent blockage which could result
in excessive gas pressure causing fire or ex-
plosion.
•
The following warning label is located in the
cooking area to remind you to provide an ad-
equate supply of fresh air for combustion.
Unlike large homes, the oxygen supply inside
a recreational vehicle is limited due to its
size. To avoid danger of asphyxiation, pro-
vide proper ventilation when using the gas
range top or gas oven. It is especially impor-
tant that the gas oven and range top not be
used for comfort heating. Danger of asphyxi-
ation is greater when these appliances are
used for long periods of time.
LP GAS LEAKS
The following label is located in the vehicle
near the range area. If you smell gas within the
vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the proce-
dures listed.
LP GAS ALARM
Your coach is equipped with an LP gas detec-
tor which sounds an alarm if an unsafe amount of
LP gas is present inside the coach. Because LP
gas is heavier than air, the detector is located on
a cabinet face near the floor of the coach.
See the LP Gas Alarm manufacturer’s infor-
mation in your InfoCase for complete instruc-
tions.
