Propane is a true gas compressed into a liquid form. As the fuel is released from the con-
tainer, it changes to vapor which is then used for the opera-
tion of the appliances. Propane will not run through the
appliances in the liquid state.
Propane expands 1½ percent for every ten degrees of in-
crease in temperature. It is imperative to leave sucient
space inside the container to allow for natural expansion of
gas during warmer weather.
The main shut o valve must be kept closed at all times un-
less you are using the propane system or lling the propane
cylinder. When the cylinder is disconnected from the hose,
install the valve cover that is attached to the container.
Close the propane cylinder main shut o valve by hand
tightening only. Use of tools createto over tighten the
valve (damaging the interior seals on the cylinder valve
seat). If this type of damage occurs, the cylinder will not
close properly.

on the propane system soon after the purchase and the initial
lling of each propane cylinder.

should be near the RV while the propane tank is being lled.

performance and must . This “shut
o for re-fueling” label should be kept permanently axed to

propane ow. Follow these instructions to make sure your propane container(s) are con-
nected properly.
Never allow your propane tank to be lled above the maximum safe level as indicated by the
xed liquid level gauge. Do not allow the visible gauge to be used for lling. Overlling the
propane container above the liquid capacity indicated on the container, could allow liquid
propane to enter the system that is designed for vapor only creating a hazardous condition.
