full of propane, turn the lever on the regulator towards the cylinder
you wish to use first. This will now be the “supply” cylinder and the
other “reserve”. Slowly open both cylinder valves.
The indicator on top of the regulator will turn bright green. When the
cylinder becomes empty the indicator will change to bright orange
or red. Now turn the lever to the side of the full bottle and the green
signal will return. You may now remove the empty bottle to have it
refilled without interrupting the flow from the full bottle. After filling
the cylinder, connect the pigtail hose and slowly open the bottle
valve. Do not forget to check for leakage each time you refill
cylinder or disconnect any part on the propane system.
High Pressure Hoses with Acme Connectors
Propane leaves the container through a hose with an ACME
connector attached to the bottle, also having a “flow-limiting device”
designed to sense excessive flow. There are two functions of this
device. 1, should container valve be opened too quickly this device
may close, stopping the flow of propane. 2, Should there be a
rupture in propane line, it will reduce the flow to (SCFH ) Standard
Cubic Feet per Hour.
This device will equalize normal flow in about 5 seconds, generally
not noticeable.
Main Supply Hose – Low Pressure
The main supply hose will be attached
from the regulator to the brass manifold
fitting in the frame of the coach. The swivel
brass nut on the main hose will be your final attachment.
There are several things to remember each time the container is
removed:
1. Be sure ALL fittings are tight. Always use two wrenches for
brass connections.
2. Be sure ALL connections are tested for leakage.
3. Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane to
flow-limiting device causing gas “freeze”.
