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 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
wil1
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.
E.P.+gas
is
heavier than air. Leaking
gas
tends to
flow
to low
places, It wilI 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
vehiclc.
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.
