Servicing or lling
Have the recreation vehicle checked for leaks at the connections on the propane system soon
after the purchase and the initial lling of each propane cylinder. When you have a new
cylinder lled for the rst 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.
No one should be inside and only the qualied propane service technician should be near
the RV while the propane tank is being lled. The new propane container must be carefully
purged for best performance and must NEVER BE OVERFILLED. The following label
should be kept permanently afxed to your RV.
The position of the propane container(s) and the hoses are critical to proper operation
and propane ow. Follow these instructions to make sure your propane container(s) are
connected properly.
The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid tension or pulling stress at either
end of the hose. Keep the pigtail hose away from sharp edges of the cylinder
collar, rigid corners, walls, doors or other compartment structures including
the cover.
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 off valve. Always shut OFF any engine before refueling. Do not smoke
and do not operate other ignition sources while refueling.
