indicate when the tank is filled to the proper limit by appearance of
liquid replacing vapor. At all other times, the overfill valve should
be
tightly closed by hand only.
The main valve on the L.P.-gas container should
be
tightened
by
hand
only using caution not to over-tighten. The valve is designed
to satisfactorily close with only a reasonable amount of tightening.
Continual over-tightening will eventually damage the valve and will
require its replacement.
When L.P.-gas containers are filled to the proper IeveI there is
available
space
for safe expansion of the vaporized liquid.
If
your
tank becomes overfilled and is not allowed to "bleed off" before
installation with
the
R.V.
system, it
may
gain pressure
due
to
exposure to hot sun rays and will begin "blowing
off
pressure
from
the
relief
valve.
This
can
be
detected
by
the strong odor
around tanks.
Keep open flames away from this area.
It
is best to
remove the bottle,
take
it to a safe area, and "bleed off" the
excess pressure
by
opening the valve and closing it when discharge
has been sufficient.
Handle
your L.P.-tanks with
care.
Note that when disconnecting,
you
must
turn the wrench in
a
clockwise direction because the
connection utilizes left hand threads. When reconnecting, turn
wrench counter clockwise. When tightening, only "snug-up"
-
avoid over-tightening. The tank must
be
in an upright position at
a11
times.
CAUTION:
If
you
have
double
bottles
on
your
R.V.,
use
only
one
at
a
time.
Otherwise
the
gas
supply
will
be
drawn equally
horn
both bottles
until
supply
has
been
totaIly
exhausted.
Using
the
one
bottle
mtil
it
is
empty,
then rasing the
second
bottie
will
&ow
you
to
GI1
the
empty bottle
at
your
convenience without
being
totally
oat
of
pmpane.
If
you travel alternately on wet roads
and
in
freezing weather, be
sure your L.P.-gas regulator is protected
from
road spray.
If
water
enters the vent in
the
regulator
it
may freeze the pressure
controlling diaphragm
in
the open position to that the container
pressure is applied to the appliances
-
a hazardous condition.
Follow the instructions given
by
the manufacturer of the regulator.
CAUTION:
Never
smoke
during
Wg
of
L.P.-tanks.
Keep
the
R.V.
away
from
immediate
filling
area
when
possible
or
extinguish
d
gas
pilot
lights.
When a L.P.-tank gets low, sometimes there is a concentration of
garlic-like odor which
may
be mistaken
for
a
gas leak. After a
changeover to a full tank, the odor usually will soon disappear.
