Propane Systems
Max output is 200,000 BTU/hr. It is used to connect propane
cylinders to regulators, hoses and other fittings. It is not for
use on gas grills and other low pressure devices.
Servicing or filling
Have the RV checked for leaks at the connections on the
propane system soon after the purchase and the initial filling
of each propane cylinder.
• While the propane tanks are being filled,
ONLY the qualified propane service technician
should be near the RV. No one should be inside.
When you have a new cylinder filled for the first time, make sure
your propane supplier purges your new cylinder of trapped air.
Otherwise, an improper mixture of gas and air will make it
impossible to light your propane appliances. For best perfor-
mance the new propane cylinder must be carefully purged
before filling.
LP gas container overfill
NEVER allow your propane cylinder(s) to be filled beyond the
maximum safe level marked on the cylinder. Your propane
system is designed for gas vapor only. An overfilled cylinder
could force liquid propane into the system, creating a hazardous
condition.
Propane Leak Test
ALWAYS test for leaks with a solution of dish soap & water.
• Apply the solution with a spray bottle, to the outside
of all gas line joints and fittings.
• If a leak is present, the soapy solution will bubble
at the leak point.
• As a general rule, small bubbles indicate a small leak
while large bubbles indicate a larger leak.
NEVER use a solution containing ammonia or chlorine
when locating leaks.
• These products are corrosive to copper gas lines and
brass fittings, which could result in deterioration of the
copper and brass components.
If a leak is not fixed by tightening the connection, shut OFF
the propane system valve(s) and immediately contact your
dealer or a qualified propane service representative.
Before entering a propane
or fuel service station make
sure all pilot lights are
extinguished.
• SHUT OFF gas to all
appliances by closing the
propane gas main shut o
valve.
• Always SHUT OFF any
engine before refueling.
• DO NOT smoke, and
• DO NOT operate other
ignition sources while
refueling.
DO NOT check for leaks
using products that contain
ammonia or chlorine; these
products can cause cracks
to form on the metal tubing
and brass fittings.
If you suspect your
propane container has
been overfilled, contact
your dealer or a qualified
propane technician for
assistance immediately.
DO NOT use or attempt
to service an overfilled
propane container yourself.
Extinguish all flames.
NEVER use an open flame
to check for leaks. Failure
to follow this warning could
result in a fire or explosion
resulting in serious injury
or death.
