Gas
System
A WARNING
7.
Turn
off
LP
gas main valve before filling
LP
gas
container or entering
an
LP
gas bulk plant or motor
fuel service station.
Turn
off all pilot lights and appli-
ances individually before refueling of motor fuel tanks
andlor
LP
gas containers. When not individually
turned off, automatic ignition
appliances may continue
to spark when LP gas is turned off at the container.
S.
Do
not fill
LP
gas containers to more than SO%
capacity. Overfilling can result
in
uncontrolled gas flow
which can cause fire and explosion. A properly filled
container holds about
SO% of its volume as liquid.
9.
LP gas regulators must always be installed with
the diaphragm vent facing downward. Make sure that
the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover
is kept
in
place to minimize vent blockage which could
result
in
excessive
LP
gas pressure causing fire or
explosion.
10.
Do
not use a wrench or pliers to close the tank
shut-off valve. This valve is designed to be closed by
hand.
If a tool is required, the valve probably needs
repair or replacement.
11.
If you do not have the special tools and training
necessary, do not attempt to repair
LP
gas system
components.
12. Motor homes stored
in
enclosed garages must
be
well ventilated.
13.
Do
not
modify or alter the
LP
gas
plumbing system.
14.
If any appliance or piping has been serviced,
ensure that a system leak check has been performed
by a trained technician. This should be verified before
taking delivery of the unit.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Hoses
The hoses used in your LP gas system meet
stringent requirements, and are rated to with-
stand many times the pressures encountered in
the system. Check the hoses for weather check-
ing or other signs
of
deterioration every time
you have the
LP gas tank filled or serviced.
When you replace hoses, be sure that,replace-
ments are properly rated and approved for
RV
use.

LP
Gas Regulator
The two-stage regulator produces approximately
11
inches
of
water column (less than 0.5 psi) to
serve your appliances. Be sure the regulator vent
stays clean and free from obstructions.
The regulator is mounted so that the vent
is
fac-
ing downward and
is
protected by a cover. Be
sure the cover is on at all times.
If
the vent
becomes clogged, it can be cleaned with a tooth-
brush. If corrosion
is
evident, contact a qualified
LP gas service technician for assistance.
A WARNING
Do
not attempt to adjust the regulator. It has been pre-
set
by
the regulator manufacturer. If any adjustment is
required, it must be made
by
a qualified LP gas serv-
ice technician using special equipment.
