Propane (LP Gas) Detector
A manual pertaining to the detector is included in the paper work given to you at the
dealership. Please read and follow all care, maintenance, and safety information contained
in this manual. Store the manual in a safe place for future reference. Pass the manual on to
any subsequent users of the detector.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended that you read the supplied manufacturer’s owner
manual when purchasing trailer.
The detector is located under the table on the front panel near the fuse box (photo B-2).
The propane detector is powered by the auxiliary battery or by the converter when plugged in.
Verify it regularly using “TEST” button.
Remember that this device uses power 24 hours a day. If the trailer is not used for 2 weeks or
more, turn it off by removing Detector 3A fuse (photo H-2.1), or turning off main switch if the
trailer is so equipped.
LP gas is a mixture of gases produced and sold commercially as a fuel for heating and cooking
appliances. LP gas is highly flammable and, as a result, can be explosive if ignited under certain
circumstances. LP gas is heavier than air and, if confined in a closed space, will accumulate close
to the floor. When the LP gas concentration in your unit exceeds 2000 PPM, the detector will
provide a visual and audible alarm by sounding a buzzer and flashing the red LED twice per second.
WARNING: ACTIVATION OF THIS DETECTOR INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF LP GAS, WHICH
CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE. THIS NORMALLY INDICATES A LEAK IN THE LP GAS
INSTALLATION OR A LP GAS APPLIANCE. EXTINGUISH ALL OPEN FLAMES, OPEN YOUR
WINDOWS AND DOOR AND EVACUATE THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT ACTIVATE ANY
ELECTRICAL SWITCH. TURN OFF THE LPG AT YOUR GAS BOTTLE(S).
WARNING: DO NOT RE-ENTER YOUR UNIT UNTIL A QUALIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIAN HAS
CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.
