SAFETY
IN
USING
L.P.
GAS
You should check for leaks at the connections on the LP.-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 with
a
soapy water
solution applied to the outside of the gas piping connections: the
soap will 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.
t.P.-gas is heavier than air.
Leaking gas tends to flow to low
places.
It
will sometimes pocket in a low area.
1I.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, Iiquid 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-voIt source.
Note that the cord has a three pin plug, which provides proper
grounding through the third (round)
pin.
