ger coaches. With both cylinders 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 cylin-
der or disconnect any part on the propane system.
High Pressure Hoses with Acme Connectors
Propane leaves the container through a hose with an ACME con-
nector attached to the bottle, also having a “flow-limiting device”.
Should the container valve be opened too quickly this device may
close, stopping the flow of propane. This device is designed to
equalize propane pressures in about 5 seconds, generally being
unnoticed. All pilot light valves must be turned off for equalization of
pressure to occur.
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 gas to flow-limiting device
causing gas “freeze”.
4. Listen carefully – a “hissing” sound longer than one second may
indicate a gas leak. Close valve and search for leak.
