Upon delivery and periodically thereafter, check your gas system for
possible leaks. Although the entire distribution system and its
attached appliances have undergone factory testing
for leaks, with
normal use being subject to road vibrations, connections, and fittings
can
develop
leaks.
If
you do encoumer this
odor,
turn

all open
flames immediately and commence a systematic search for leaks
throughout the gas
system.

on connections and fittings. Bubbles will appear
at the Ieaky goinis. When tightening connections, use
two
wrenches
with opposing torque
to
prevent twisting of copper tubing.
If
the leak
doesn't
show
up
in the manifold or copper tubing dis.tsibution system,
then check the
appliances.
Never attempt to reset the gas regulator yourself. Wave an
authorized service agency make any regulator adjustments. Even
a
little amount
of
pressure over the recommended setting can cause
damage to appliances and regulators. This pressure setting
must
be
performed
with
a
gas pressure gauge or monometer.
Present Codes
&
Standards require the use of
a
"Dual-stage"
L.P.-gas regulator with an "excess
flow"
P.O.E.
adaptor. The
"excess flow" adaptor is built to restrict the flow of escaping gas in
the event
of
a
break in
the
gas
supply line.
The
"Dual-stage" regulator performs the
act
of reducing gas
pressure
in
the first stage
10-13
P.S.I.
The
second stage then reduces
it
to eleven inches of
W.C.
(Water Column).
It

to eliminate
a

gas
from the tank.
This
would possibly
"freeze" the excess flow valve
and
shut off your gas supply. Should
this
happen, turn off your gas valve at the tank.
Wait
about
15
minutes and try again.
