The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the RV is a properly maintained
ventilation system and an active carbon monoxide detector. To allow for proper operation
of the RV ventilation system, keep the ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of snow, leaves or other
obstructions at all times.
See the Occupant Safety section of this manual for additional information on carbon mon-
oxide safety.
Propane Gas System
Propane or LP (liqueed petroleum) gas is an ecient form of energy when proper handling
and safety precautions are observed. The propane system in yourfurnishes the fuel for cook-
ing, heating, hot water and can be an alternative energy source for refrigeration
Propane is heavier than air; and tends to ow to lower areas and will sometimes pocket in
these low areas, such as the oor. Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a propane alarm
(refer to the Safety Precaution section, Combination Carbon Monoxide (CO)/Propane
Alarm).
The propane fuel system is comprised of numerous components such as the propane con-
tainer, hoses, the propane gas regulator, piping and copper tubing to each appliance.
Although your recreation vehicle has been carefully tested at the factory, and by your selling
dealer for leakage, travel vibrations can loosen ttings. Have the propane system checked at
all connections soon after the purchase of your recreation vehicle, and after the initial lling
of the propane tanks.
Continued periodic checks of the propane system at 5,000 miles of travel (or at least once a
year), by a qualied 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.
Propane cylinders should not be placed or stored inside RV. LP-gas cylinders
are equipped with safety devices that relieve pressure by discharging gas into
the atmosphere.

of manufacture. Dealers are required to recheck and adjust pressure before
retail delivery.
