Jayco Finch User Manual

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 level 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,
yoti must turn the wrench in a clockwise direction because the
connection utilizes left hand threads. When reconnecting, turn
~vrench counler clockwise. When tightening, only "snug-up"
-
avoid over-tightening. The tank must be in an upright position at
aii rimes.
CAUTION: If you have double bottles an your R.VV., urse only one
at a time. Otherwise the gas supply will be drawn equally from
bath bottles until sapply has been totally exhausted. Using the one
battle until it is empty, then using the second bottle will allow you
to fill the empty bottle at youx convenience without being totaIly
out of propme.
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 reguIator 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 fdling of E.P.-tanks. Keep the
R.V. away Evom immediate filling area when possible or extinguish
all 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.
