The regulator is equipped with a vent. This vent must stay
clean and open. The most common causes
of
regulator prob-
lems are clogging from corrosion, dirt, insect nests or other
material. Even a small piece of material that finds its way
into the vent can result in improper pressure in the system.
This could damage the system or cause other parts
of
the
system
to
fail.
The regulator is mounted so that the vent is facing downward
and is protected from water and dirt by a water-resistant
cover. Be sure the cover is on at all times.
If
the vent
becomes clogged, it can be cleaned with a toothbrush.
If
you
see corrosion, contact a qualified
LP gas service technician
for a replacement regulator.
Your
LP gas system will function at low temperatures,
as
long as the system components are kept at a temperature
above the vapor point
of
the LP gas. Ask your LP gas suppli-
er or your motor home dealer for information on
LP gas
blends available in your area and the areas in which you will
be traveling.
The availability
of
gas is reduced at lower temperatures.
Keep your
LP tank as full
as
possible during cold weather.
Check the BTU/hr. rating plates on your
LP gas appliances.
This information will help you manage your
LP gas use. The
