Propane 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
procedures listed.
•
All pilot lights must be extinguished and
appliances and their ignitors turned off while
refilling the fuel tank or propane tank.
•
Never smoke while refilling vehicle fuel tank
or propane gas tank.
•
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases produced by
burned gasoline, diesel fuel or propane gas in
items such as the range, chassis engine,
generator engine, refrigerator, furnace and
water heater. They contain carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless, colorless and poisonous
gas.
•
Do not bring or store propane gas containers,
gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the
vehicle because a fire or explosion may result.
Propane gas containers are equipped with
safety valves which relieve excessive
pressure by discharging gas to the
atmosphere.
•
Never use an open flame to test for propane
gas leaks. Replace all protective covers and
caps on propane system after filling. Make
sure valve is closed and door latched securely.
•
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.
•
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
explosion.
PROPANE GAS PRESSURE
REGULATOR
The pressure regulator is protected from the
elements by a plastic cover which should be left
in place at all times. Only your dealer or a
qualified propane gas service should remove the
regulator cover for adjustments.
NOTE:If your model is equipped with a propane
powered electrical generator, there will
be two regulators stacked one upon
another. One regulates the house
propane supply pressure; the other
regulates pressure to the generator.
WARNING
Visually inspect the pressure regulator
vent periodically for blockage by
accumulated debris or insect nests, etc.
Vent obstruction could result in excessive
pressure which could cause a fire or
explosion.
If any obstruction is apparent, have the
regulator serviced by your dealer or a
qualified propane gas service center.
