SYSTEM
To
perform a leak check:
1.
Swab a mixture of a non-ammoniated, non-chlorinated
soap
solution or an approved leak detection solution over
each fitting, joint and connection
in
the system.
2.
Open the tank service valve.
3.
Inspect each
jOint.
4.
If
even the smallest bubbles appear 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 without 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.
Keep the tank valve closed and turn off all appliances
if
the
unit is not being used.
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.
