SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
SAFETY
Dl
USING
L.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 easily with a soapy water
solution applied
to
the
outside of the gas piping connections.
solution applied to the outside
of
the gas piping connections: the

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
low 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.
