Servicing or filling
Because the container is not removable, the motor home will need to be driven to
a qualified propane facility for servicing or filling.
Only the authorized gas service technician(s) should be near the motor home
while the propane tank is being filled. The new propane container must be
carefully purged for proper appliance performance and operation. The propane
tank must NEVER BE OVERFILLED.
Replace all protective covers and caps on the propane system and/or container
after filling. Make sure the valve is closed and the compartment door is securely
latched.
LP gas container overfill
Never allow your propane tank to be filled above the maximum safe level as
indicated by the fixed liquid level gauge.
Do not allow the visible gauge to be used for filling. Overfilling the propane
container above the liquid capacity indicated on the container, could allow liquid
propane to enter the system that is designed for vapor only creating a hazardous
condition.
The following warming label has been placed by the propane container
.
WARNING:
DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
OVERFILLING THE PROPANE CONTAINER CAN RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED
PROPANE FLOW, WHICH CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
A PROPERLY FILLED CONTAINER CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 80 PERCENT OF ITS
VOLUME AS LIQUID PROPANE.
