5. Be sure the regulator vent faces downward, and that the regulator cover is kept in place to minimize vent
blockage.
6. Before opening the service valve, allowing LP gas to ow into the system, be sure all LP gas appliances are
turned o.
7. Open the tank service valve slowly and check all connections for leaks, as outlined further, in this section.
8. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, when lighting an LP gas appliance.
VENT BLOCKAGE CAN RESULT IN EXCESSIVE GAS PRESSURE, WHICH
CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION. KEEP THE REGULATOR PROTECTIVE
COVER IN PLACE TO MINIMIZE THIS DANGER AND PROTECT THE
REGULATOR FROM THE ELEMENTS.
NEVER USE AN LP TANK, DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE FURNISHED
WITH YOUR CAMPER. IF THE TANK MUST BE REPLACED, CHECK WITH
YOUR DEALER FOR CORRECT TANK SPECIFICATIONS AND REPLACE
MENT PROCEDURE. KEEP THE TANK SECURELY MOUNTED IN ITS
PROPER POSITION. USE ALL THE HARDWARE PROVIDED TO ENSURE
PROPER SUPPORT AND POSITION.
KEEP THE TANK SERVICE VALVE ACCESSIBLE AT ALL TIMES. IN AN
EMERGENCY, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO QUICKLY ACCESS THE VALVE
TO SHUT OFF THE LP GAS FLOW.

1. Turn o all LP appliances and extinguish their pilot light.
2. Close the service valve on the LP tank and remove the QCC1 Acme connection, which has a le-handed thread
and must be turned clockwise to remove. Never use a wrench to close the service valve. If leaking occurs when
closing by hand, have the valve repaired or replaced.
3. Cap or seal valve inlet to prevent the entrance of dust and dirt.
4. Loosen the clamp ring bolt and remove the container from the camper. Always transport the LP gas bottle in
the upright position. Never transport, install, or use a vertical tank in a horizontal or upside down position.
5. Take the container to a qualied LP gas supplier.
6. Have supplier connect the ll nozzle to your tank ll connection.
7. Even though the tank is equipped with an automatic 80% shut-o, which prevents over-lling beyond 80% tank
capacity, have the supplier monitor the 20% liquid level gauge, and stop the lling process if liquid does appear.
BE SURE THE TANK IS NOT FILLED BEYOND THE 80% LIQUID LEVEL.
IF THE TANK HAS BEEN OVERFILLED, MAKE SURE THE LP SUPPLIER
BLEEDS OUT THE EXCESS. OVERFILLING THE LP GAS CONTAINER
DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE NECESSARY 20% VAPOR EXPANSION SPACE.
THE ABSENCE OF THIS SPACE CAN RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED GAS
FLOW WHICH CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
