LIQUID PROPANE GAS SYSTEM UNITY MOTORHOME
Do not use an open ame or a heat lamp to
thaw the regulator.
CAUTION
LP GAS LEAKS
Read, understand and follow the safety label afxed
near the range area in your motorhome’s galley. Do
NOT remove this label. If you ever smell LP Gas
inside the vehicle or if the detector alarm sounds,
carefully follow the instructions on the label�
Road vibration can loosen propane ttings. Check
the propane system for leaks at least every 5000
miles (8000 Kms) and whenever the tank is relled.
Have the entire propane system inspected annually
by qualied service personnel regardless of the
number of miles driven.
1� Read, understand and follow safety labels, signs
and directions in the motorhome�
2� Use soapy water to check for leaks and watch for
bubbles. Never use an open ame.
3� Correct or repair leaks before using appliances
or operating the vehicle.
If you smell propane, follow these steps:
1. Extinguish all open ames, pilot lights
and smoking materials.
2. Do NOT touch any electrical switches.
3. Shut off the propane supply at the tank
valves or propane supply connections.
4. Open doors, windows and vents.
5. Leave the area until the odor clears.
6. Have the propane system checked and
repaired by a qualied service technician
before using the LP Gas system. Failure
to comply could result in asphyxiation,
re or explosion causing serious injury or
death.
DANGER
LP GAS TANK REGULATOR
The LP Gas tank regulator has a plastic cover to
protect it from the weather. Only qualied service
personnel are permitted to remove this cover.
The pressure regulator has a vent hole on the
underside. Make sure this vent hole is open and not
obstructed in any way�
An LP Gas regulator may freeze in extremely cold
temperatures. This may result from a small amount
of moisture in the fuel, even though LP Gas dealers
take precautions to prevent this from happening.
Keep the LP Gas control valve closed when not in
use, even when the LP Gas tank is empty. This helps
to prevent condensation from forming and helps to
prevent freezing. If necessary, hold a light bulb near
the regulator to thaw it�
If moisture in the LP Gas tank is a recurring problem,
ask your LP Gas dealer to inject a small amount of dry
methyl alcohol into the tank to absorb the moisture.
LP Gas vaporizes quickly and easily in warmer
temperatures. In colder conditions, this vaporization
process signicantly slows down. When large
amounts of fuel are required, when using the furnace
for example, the fuel may not vaporize rapidly
enough to keep all the appliances operating at a
high level. In this case, you may have to reduce the
consumption of fuel by lowering the temperature
setting on the furnace, reducing the consumption of
hot water, turning down the temperature setting on
your refrigerator, or switching from LP Gas to electric
power if possible�
The LP Gas regulator pressure is preset. Do NOT
attempt to adjust it. Adjustments must only be
performed by an authorized service center. Do NOT
expose the regulator to the elements�
If the LP Gas regulator fails, the LP Gas tank may
be overlled or impurities may mix with the propane.
Regulator failure could cause LP Gas components
to malfunction�
