CHEXKING
FOR
LEAKS
Upon delivery and periodically thereafter, check your gas system for
possible leaks. Although the entire distribution system and its
a~ached appliances have undergone factory testing for leaks, with
normal
use
being subject to road vibrations, connections, and fittings
can develop leaks.
If
you
do
encounter this odor, turn off all open
flames immediately and commence a systematic search for leaks
throughout the gas system.
Use
a bubble solution or soapy water

on connections and fittings. Bubbles will appear
at the leaky poifits.
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 distribution system,
then check the appliances.
E2.-GAS
REGULATOR
SETTING
Never attempt to reset the gas regulator yourself. Have 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"

adaptor. The
"excess flow" adaptor is built to restrict
the
flow of escaping gas
