LP
CAS
SYSTEM
LP gas is a safe and reliable fuel. As with any other volatile
and flammable material, common sense dictates that
LP gas
be handled and used with respect and caution. Because
LP
gas systems are so reliable, they are often taken for granted.
Neglect can be a very dangerous habit.
If
the system is main-
tained regularly, you can expect almost trouble free
operation.
WARNING
LP gas is flammable and potentially explosive. Use proper han-
dling, lighting and ventilating procedures.
1.
The distinctive odor of LP gas indicates a leak. If you smell
gas:
Do not touch electrical switches.
Extinguish all open flames, pilot lights and all smoking
materials.
Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply con-
nection.
Open the
door
and leave the area until the odor clears.
Have the gas system checked by a professional and the cause
of the leak corrected before using the motor home again.
2.
Inspect the entire LP gas system for leaks
or
damaged parts
before each trip and before filling tank. See section on
"LP
Gas
System Leak Checks."
3.
Never check for leaks with
an
open flame. Use an approved
leak detection solution
or
a non-ammoniated, non-chlorinated
soap solution only. If the leak cannot be located, take the unit to
an
LP
gas service representative.
4.
Always be careful when drilling holes or fastening objects to
the motor home. The gas supply lines could be punctured by a
nail or screw.
