SAFETY
CONSIDERATIONS
SAFETY
IN
USING
E.P.
GAS
You should check for leaks at the connections on the L.P.-gas
system soon after purchase and initial filling of L.P.-tanks, and
continued periodic checks of the system are recommended. Your
vehicle was manufactured to provide you with
full.
access to all gas
line connections. Leaks can be found with a soapy water solution
applied to the outside of the gas piping connections: the soap
will
bubble
at
the leak.
DO
NOT
USE
FLAME
OR
LIGHTED
MATCHES
TO
TEST
FOR
LEAKS.
Usually tightening
of
connections will close
leaks.
If
not, ask your authorized dealer service department to make
the necessary repairs.
EVEN
THOUGH
THE
MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE
ALREADY
MADE
TESTS
FOR
LEAKAGE,
THIS
CHECK
IS
ADVISABLE
BECAUSE
OF
THE
VIBRATION ENCOUNTERED
DURING TRAVEL.
L.P.-gas is heavier than air. Leaking gas
tends
to flow
to
low
places. It will sometimes pocket in a Iow area.
L.P.-gas
can
usually
be
detected by an identifiable odor similar to onions or
garlic. Never light
a
match or allow
any
open flame in the
presence of leaking gas.
It
is
very important to have L.P.-gas shut
off
during refueling of
tow vehicles. Some states prohibit gas appliances to be operated
during travel, especially in any underground tunnels.
Never allow gas containers to be filled above the liquid capacity
indicated on the container.
If
a container is overfilled, liquid gas
may
flow through the regulator causing it to freeze and/or
introduce a dangerous excessive gas pressure into the lines. In
addition,
an
overfilled container placed in hot sunlight
may
expel
excess gas through the relief valve and be susceptible to ignition
by
any
nearby
open flame.
ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM
SAFETY
Circuit breakers and fuses are installed to protect electrical circuits
from overloading. Do not make unauthorized changes
to
circuitry
or add on
fixed
appliance yourself. If you wish changes, consult
your dealer and he will assist you in obtaining a safe installation.
An approved power supply cord has been supplied
with
the
vehicle. Always use this cord
for
hook-up to the 120-volt source.
Note
that
the cord has
a
three
pin
plug, which provides proper
grounding through the third (round) pin.
