Double Cylinder Mounted On A-Frame (if so equipped)
When a second cylinder is installed, a tee check valve is used to replace the 90°
elbow at the top of the regulator and another 1/4" inverted flare x 24" Type 1 pigtail
is added. The regulator stays in the original position.

1. Place the second cylinder on the A-frame bracket so the cylinder valve is
pointed to the roadside of the folding camping trailer.
2. Secure the second cylinder to the A-frame using the bolts, nuts and washers
provided.
3. If a vinyl cylinder cover is used, slip it over the new single cylinder, or a
double cylinder cover may be used in lieu of single covers.
4. Attach the second 24" hose to the tee check valve on the regulator and the
right handed swivel nut to the cylinder valve.
Main Supply Hose – Low Pressure
Attach the main supply hose from the regulator to the brass manifold fitting in the
frame of the trailer. The swivel brass nut on the main hose will be your final
attachment
.

Several things to remember each time the propane container is removed:
1. Check that ALL fittings are tight.
2. Check that ALL connections are tested with a propane leak detector (or soapy
water) solution.
3. Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane to the excess flow
valve causing propane freeze up. If you experience a propane “freeze-up,”
close the main valve and wait at least fifteen (15) minutes before trying again.
Refer to the regulator manufacturer’s operator manual.
4. Listen carefully - a “hissing” sound longer than one second may indicate a
propane leak. If you feel there may be a leak present, close the valve and
contact your dealer or qualified propane technician for repair assistance.
Replace all protective covers and caps on the propane system after filling. Make
sure the valve is closed and the compartment door is securely latched.
Maintenance
Propane gas is normally non-corrosive - you need not worry about the inside of
your container. However, the outside should be kept free from rust by a periodic
coat of paint in a light reflective color. Rust, scratches and/or dents can affect the
safety of the cylinder. Inspect the cylinder at regular intervals.
