SAFETY
CONSIDERATIONS
SAFETY
IN 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 E.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
FLAMIE:
OR
LIGHTED
TCHES
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
ADVlSABLE
BECAUSE
OF
THE
VIBRATION
ENCOUNTERED
DURING
TRAVEL.
E.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,
