SERVICING

LX.-CONTAUWRS
WARNING:
Your
vehicle
has
exterior
combustion
six
hlets.
Appliance
pilot
lights
should
be
turned
off
during
gasdime
or
L.P.-gas
refuding.
(Required
by
law
in
some states.)
Local regdations sometimes require cylinders
be
removed from
the
R.V.
for refilling.
A
relief valve
is
incorporated
on
all tanks for safety.
This valve
is
normally opened during filling and will 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
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.

Over-fdled
tanks
can
cause

and

malfunc-
tions.
