Propane Use and Safety
Propane is a colorless and odorless gas that, in the liq-
ue๎ฟed 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 propane system la-
bel. This label has been placed in the vehicle near the
range, for models equipped with a propane systemWhen
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 disap-
pear. If not, turn o๏ต the valve(s) and have the propane
system inspected by your dealer or quali๎ฟed propane
service representative

Leaks may be found easily with a soapy water solution. Do not use a solution containing
ammonia or chlorine when locating leaks. These products are corrosive to copper gas lines
and brass ๎ฟttings, which could result in deterioration of the copper and brass components.
Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas piping ๎ฟttings. If a leak is present, the
soapy solution will โbubbleโ at the leak point. If a leak is indicated, shut o๏ต the propane
system valve(s) and contact your dealer or quali๎ฟed propane service representative imme-
diately.

Use the following steps for propane operation:
1. Close ALL burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open the main valve in the propane tank slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane vapor
through the excess ๎ow valve causing propane โfreeze-up.โ Should you experience
propane โfreeze-up,โ close the main valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as propane begins to ๎ow. If a hissing noise is heard for more than one
or two seconds, close the main valve and contact your recreation vehicle dealer to have
the propane system tested.
