Checking for Leaks
The entire propane distribution system and appliances have gone
through complete factory and dealer tests for any leakage. When
traveling with your RV, normal vibrations and road movement may
cause connections to loosen and develop leaks.
For normal maintenance KZ advises all owners to test for leakage
at least once per year or more often. You may request your dealer
to perform a maintenance check each spring.
Should you encounter an odor, possibly propane, turn off any and all
open flames and begin a systematic search for leaks on the
complete propane system. NEVER USE A MATCH. Use a soapy
water solution which contains NO AMMONIA, or CHLORINE content
to check for leaks. If a leak is identified, bubbles will appear.
ALWAYS use two wrenches when tightening brass connections to
prevent twisting of copper.
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and
stoves, shall not be used inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this
equipment inside the recreational vehicle may cause fire or asphyxiation.
