11. Do not use a wrench or pliers to close the tank shut-off valve.
This valve is designed to
be
closed leak-tight by hand. If a tool is
required to stop a leak, the valve probably needs repair or
replacement.
12.
If
you
do not have the special tools and training necessary,
do not attempt to repair or modify
LP
gas system components.
13.
Always think safety.
The hoses used in your LP gas system meet
UL
or CSA
requirements, and are rated
to
withstand
many
times the
pressures encountered in the system. Although they are
designed for efficient and trouble free use, they can deterio-
rate from impurities in the
air.
The average life
of
LP hoses
is two
to
three years. Consequently, check the hoses for
weather checking or other signs
of
deterioration every time
you have the gas tank filled or serviced. When you replace
hoses, be sure that replacements are properly rated and
approved for
RV
use.
The regulator is the heart
of
the LP gas system.
It
reduces the
tank pressure, which can vary from
250 psi to 7 psi, to a
steady 6 ounces
(11
inches
of
water column) to serve the
appliances in the motor home.
It
does this in two stages for
safety and efficiency.
