The regulator is equipped with a vent. This vent must stay
clean and open. The most common causes
of
regulator prob-
lems are clogging from
cOlTosion,
dirt, insect nests
or
other
material. Even a small piece
of
material that finds its way into
the vent can result in improper pressure in the system. This
could damage the system or cause other parts
of
the system to
fail.
The regulator is mounted so that the vent is facing downward
and is protected from water and dirt by a water-resistant cover.
Be sure the cover is on at all times.
If the vent becomes
clogged, it can be cleaned with a toothbrush.
If you see corro-
sion, contact a qualified
LP gas service technician for a re-
placement regulator.
Your
LP gas system will function at low temperatures,
as
long
as
the system components are kept at a temperature above the
vapor point
of
the LP gas. Ask your LP gas supplier
or
your
motor home dealer for information on
LP gas blends available
in your area and the areas in which you will be traveling.
The availability
of
gas is reduced at lower temperatures. Keep
your
LP tank
as
full as possible during cold weather. Check
the BTU/hr. rating plates on your
LP gas appliances. This
information will help you manage your LP gas use. The chart
below shows the reduction in available BTUs/hour at different
fill levels

the temperature drops:
