Propane Systems
Using The Propane System
After the RV is completely set up and you are prepared for
camping enjoyment, use the following steps for propane
operation:
1. CLOSE ALL burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. OPEN the propane tank's main valve VERY SLOWLY.
This avoids a fast rush of propane vapor through the
excess flow valve which can cause a propane freeze-up.
• If a propane freeze-up occurs, CLOSE the main valve
and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
3. LISTEN carefully as propane begins to flow.
• If a hissing noise is heard for more than one or two
seconds, CLOSE the main valve and contact your
dealer to have your propane system tested.
4. LIGHT the appliances ONLY as directed in the
appropriate manufacturer manual (found in your
Owner Information Package).
BEFORE using the propane system, make sure that
you read and understand ALL instructions and safety
requirements. The Owner Information Package contains
operator manuals for the various appliances hooked to your
propane system.
If you have additional questions or concerns, Consult with
your dealer and/or the specific manufacturer.
DO NOT operate the
gas appliances while
your RV is in motion.
Unpredictable wind currents
may be created, and cause
flame reversal in the water
heater burner tube, which
could result in fire damage.
This could also activate the
water heater’s Thermal Cut
Off Fuse and completely
shut down the water heater
until the thermal cut o fuse
is replaced.
