at
any joint, this joint must be re-made. Refer repairs to
an authorized Fleetwood service center
or
your LP gas
service facility. Never attempt to repair gas piping
with-
out proper tools and know-how.
Potential trouble spots for
leaks are areas where piping
runs
close to chassis and frame members. Look for
chafes and cracks around pipe hangers.
If you find
defects in any LP gas system component, have it
repaired or replaced before using the system.
As an added precaution,
do
a visual check
of
all exposed
piping and fittings after you have arrived at a destination
and before you use the LP gas system.
Travel and road
shocks may have caused damage to the system that
you
will need to repair before using the appliances.

LP
LEAK
DETECTOR
A permanently installed LP gas leak detector is located
near the
floor, The unit contains an alarm that will sound
alerting you to the presence of
low levelS
of
potentially
dangerous LP gas that may have been released due to
a gas
leak, The unit will also disconnect the gas supply
at the LP tank when it senses LP
or
similar gases such
as
hair spray or cleaning solvent.
The detector unit is powered by the
12-volt DC system
in your motor
home, A power switch is located on the
panel. A green light on the detector front panel indicates
that the detector has power.
If the power switch is
OFF,
gas flow from the tank is cut off by a special solenoid
valve located
at
the tank.
Test the
leak detector each time the motor home is
, relocated and set up for use.
Testing Procedure:
Hold a butane-fueled pocket lighter near the sensor.
Open the lighter valve without striking the flame.
The leak detector should respond within a few
seconds.
Press the silence button to reset the alarm.
Lightly fan the area around the detector to insure
complete dispersion
of
the gas from the lighter,
and to prevent another sounding
of
the alarm.
A silence button allows you to temporarily quiet the
alarm for 60 seconds after it has been set off or after
testing.
If the alarm does not sound during a test or if the green
indicator
light is not visible, see your dealer or an
authorized Fleetwood Service Center. There are no
batteries
or
user serviceable parts inside the unit.
NOTE: Remember to turn
off
the detector
if
you
are
not
using
your
motor home. The detector
draws enough current to discharge
your
bat-
tery.
LIGHTING LP GAS APPLIANCES
Detailed operating information for the LP gas appli-
ances can be found in your
Owner's
Information
Package.
Please read and follow these instructions
Air trapped in the gas
lines may delay the initial lighting
of
any appliance. It could take several seconds
or
minutes for the gas to reach the appliance.
To
purge
some
of
the air from the gas system, first light a burner
on the range. The other appliances will then
light more
quickly.
We recommend lighting the pilot
light
at
the range, if
equipped, rather than individually
lighting each burner.
This will
help prevent accidental leaks at the burner. Be
sure the pilot
light is extinguished while traveling.
The firsttime the furnace or oven is operated, paints and
oils used in its manufacture may generate some smoke
and fumes.
If this occurs, open doors and windows to air
out the motor home. These materials
should burn off
after the first 15 to
20 minutes
of
appliance operation.
ALWAYS
FOLLOW
THE
APPLIANCE
MANUFAC-
TURER'S LIGHTING AND OPERATING INSTRUC-
TIONS.
