L.P. GAS
SYSTEM
The L.P. gas (liquified
petroleum
gas)
system
has been
carefully
designed
for
safety
and comfort.
The
stove,
refrigerator,
furnace and hot
water heater
use L.P.
gas or what is
commonly
called propane.
The gas
can be compressed
into liquid
form and
stored
in a relatively
small container.
Because it is stored
under pressure,
it
provides
its own
force
for delivery to
the various appliances
upon demand.
It is necessary
to
let the propane
gas in the tank
clear the
gas lines of air
to the
various
appliances
before the
pilot lights can
be lighted.
In
the
case
of
the
refrigerator,
sometimes
it is
necessary to open
the pilot button
for as long
as
ve
minutes
before the
gas reaches
the appliance.
All the appliances
are equipped with
a fail safe
device
which shuts
off the gas
supply if
the pilot light
is extinguished
with ne
exception
of the
range top
which
must
be
manually
turned
off.
The propane
tank
is located curbside
under
the coach. The
tank has a direct
reading
gauge
which is located
on the Apollo
Central
Control Panel.
The
attendant
at the propane
or L.P. lling station
will ll
the tank.
NOTE: Do not use
the gaugeforlling
the tank.
(fir is
necessary
to
check
for
propane
leaks, use
a soapy
water solution
vviih
a
brush.
Cover
pipe
joints or
suspected
leaking areas
with
solution
walchingfor
bubbles.
This process
should
be followed
occasionally,
even
if a
leak
is not
suspected.
Have pressure
regulator checked
by
qualified
personnel
once a year.
