the
line and brass fittings. If the leak cannot
be
located,
take the unit to
an
LP

LP
gas leak detector/
alarm is located near the floor. The unit contains
an alarm that will sound alerting you to the

low levels
of
potentially dangerous
LP gas that may have accumulated.
The

within a few seconds.
4. Press the silence button to reset the alarm.
5. Lightly fan the area around the detector/
alarm to insure complete dispersion
of
the
gas from the lighter, and to prevent
another sounding
of
the alarm.

quiet the alarm for
60 seconds after it has
been set off or after testing.
7.
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.
