If a leak is indicated, shut off the propane system valve(s) and contact an
independent Jayco dealer or qualified propane service representative immediately.
PROPANE SAFETY PROCEDURE
Propane is a colorless and odorless gas that, in the liquefied state, resembles
water. An odorant (usually a sulfur compound) is added as a warning agent. If
you smell propane within the vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the procedure
listed on the label below.
When propane container is low, occasionally there may be a concentration of an
onion or garlic-like odor, which can be mistaken for a propane gas leak.
After the propane container has been refueled, the odor will usually disappear. If
not, turn off the valve(s) and have the propane system inspected by an
independent Jayco dealer or qualified propane service representative.
This label has been placed in the vehicle near the range, for models equipped with
a propane system.

WARNING
Never use an open flame to test for a propane leak. Do not check for leaks
using products that contain ammonia or chlorine; these products can cause
cracks to form on the metal tubing and brass fittings
WARNING
DOT propane cylinders must be transported and stored in an upright position
so the pressure relief device will function properly. Laying a DOT propane
cylinder on its side may potentially create a very dangerous situation.
