SECTION 7 - FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEM CLASS C MOTORHOME
7-4
Continued periodic checks of the propane system at 5,000 miles of travel (or at
least once a year), by a qualified propane service representative as part of your
normal maintenance is recommended. Hand tighten the LP gas system valves
only, do not use a wrench or pliers as over tightening may damage the valve seals
and cause them to leak.
The following labels should be kept permanently affixed to the motor home.

PROPANE LEAK TEST
Leaks may be found easily with a soapy water solution. Do not use a solution
containing ammonia or chlorine when locating leaks. These products are
corrosive to copper gas lines and brass fittings, which could result in deterioration
of the copper and brass components.
Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas piping fittings. If a leak is
present, the soapy solution will “bubble” at the leak point. If a leak is indicated,
shut off the propane system valve(s) and contact an independent Jayco
dealer or qualified propane service representative immediately.
DANGER
ALL PILOT LIGHTS, APPLIANCES, AND THEIR IGNITORS (SEE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS) SHALL BE TURNED OFF BEFORE REFUELING OF MOTOR
FUEL TANKS AND/ OR PROPANE CONTAINERS.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING
DO NOT FILL PROPANE CONTAINER(S)
TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF
CAPACITY.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
CAUTION
THIS PIPING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH PROPANE ONLY. DO
NOT CONNECT NATURAL GAS TO THIS SYSTEM.
Securely cap this inlet when not connected for use. After turning on propane,
except after normal cylinder replacement, test propane piping and connection to
appliances for leakage with soapy water or bubble solution. Do not use products
that contain ammonia or chorine.
WARNING
Never use an open flame to test for a propane leak. Do not check for leaks
using products that contain ammonia or chlorine; these products can cause
cracks to form on the metal tubing and brass fittings
