Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas piping ttings. If a leak is present, the soapy
solution will “bubble” at the leak point. If a leak is indicated, shut o the propane system
valve(s) and contact your dealer or qualied propane service representative immediately.
Use the following steps for propane operation:
1. Close ALL burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open the main valve in the propane tank slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane vapor
through the excess ow valve causing propane “freeze-up.” Should you experience
propane “freeze-up,” close the main valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as propane begins to ow. If a hissing noise is heard for more than one
or two seconds, close the main valve and contact your recreation vehicle dealer to have
the propane system tested.
4.
Keep the propane container valves closed at all times unless you are using the propane gas
system or are having the propane container lled.
The propane system must be handled with care. If you have any questions or concerns,
consult with your dealer and/or the specic appliance manufacturer.
If you have double cylinders on your recreation vehicle, use only one at a time. Otherwise,
the propane supply will be drawn equally from both cylinders until the supply has been
totally exhausted. Using one cylinder until it is empty, then using the second cylinder will
allow you to ll the empty cylinder at your convenience without running totally out of
propane.
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the recreation
vehicle. Proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s) will help you avoid the
danger of asphyxiation.
Do not turn gas range burner controls to ON and allow gas to escape
before lighting.
Do not use portable fuel burning equipment (i.e., wood and charcoal
grills or stoves) inside the recreation vehicle.
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 ttings
