LP
GAS
SYSTEM
As with any other volatile and flammable material, LP gas
must be handled and used with caution. Because LP gas sys-
tems are so reliable, they are often taken for granted. Neglect
can be a very dangerous habit.
If
the system is maintained
regularly, you can expect almost trouble-free operation.
ArWARNINGI
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
container valve(s)
or
gas supply connection.
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 the container.
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.
