When propane containers are filled to 80% level there is available
space for safe expansion of the vaporized liquid. Should your
container become slightly overfilled, pressure may rise due to hot
sun. It could cause the overflow valve to “blow-off” and emit a small
quantity of propane vapor. This can be detected by a strong odor
around tanks. Keep open flames away from this area. It is best to
remove the bottle, take it to a safe area, and “burn-off” the excess
pressure by using a torch designed for this function.
When disconnecting propane containers, you must turn the ACME
fitting in a clockwise direction because left-hand threads are
utilized. When reconnecting, turn connections counterclockwise.
Connections must be tight, however DO NOT over-tighten.
A warning label has been located near the propane container.
Installing Propane Containers
KZ recreational vehicles are equipped with 20 or 30 pound propane
containers, depending on floor plan models.
Mounting and attaching instructions are listed below:
1. Thread the long rod into the base plate.
2. Set both bottles into place.
3. Drop the double hook bracket over the rod and hook onto the
bottle.
4. Attach the wing-nut to hold the bracket and tighten to hold the
bottle to the plate.
5. Attach the regulator with the vent down to the bracket.
6. Attach the main hose from the regulator to the manifold fitting in
the frame.
7. Attach two short pigtail hoses to the regulator and bottles at the
ACME fitting.
8. Test all propane connections for leakage.
DO NOT use tools to open or close the tank valve. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY to
avoid damage to the valve or handle.
CAUTION
!
Never smoke during the filling of propane tanks. Keep the recreational
vehicle away from immediate filling area when possible or extinguish all gas
pilots.
