INFORMATION ABOUT LP GAS
A
WARNING
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON
OR NEAR A PROPANE GAS SYSTEM. DO NOT
SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME NEAR A PRO-
PANE GAS SYSTEM. LEAKING PROPANE GAS
CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN SE-
VERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Although every precaution is taken by fuel produc-
ers, tank manufacturers, and LP gas dealers in keep-
ing moisture out of the fuel, this problem does at
times exist causing regulator freeze-ups. Suggestions
that you may want to follow to help prevent this
moisture are:
1.
Always keep the main tank valve closed during
periods that the gas will not be used and espe-
cially if the tank is empty.
2.
Contact your LP dealer about the addition of
methyl alcohol into your tank. He may do this
for a minimal charge and it will help prevent
freeze-up.
NOTE: The refrigerator operates on propane,
do not use Butane or Butane mixtures.
Basic Practices to Assure Safety
1.
Do not allow your tank to be filled beyond the
legal liquid level capacity indicated by the liquid
level stop fill gauge.
2.
When closing the POL valve or liquid level on
your tank, never use a wrench or pliers. These
valves are designed to be closed leak-tight by
hand and, if wrenches are necessary to stop a
leak, the valve should be replaced.
3.
When tightening the left hand thread POL nut
on the service valve, draw it up just snug with a
proper wrench. Do not over tighten it or jam it.
This is a machined brass fitting which seats se-
curely against a female seat in the POL valve
and requires no pipe joint compound.
4.
When you are ready to use your tank, open the
POL valve all the way and then close it one
quarter turn. This will assist you in determining
if the valve is open or closed.
5.
Periodically check all tank and line connections
for leaks using a soapy solution. In transit vibra-
tion may create leaks.
A
CAUTION
DO NOT ALLOW LEAK DETECTION SOLUTIONS TO
COME INTO CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL COM-
PONENTS. MANY SUCH LIQUIDS ARE ELECTRI-
CALLY CONDUCTIVE WHICH CAN CAUSE ELEC-
TRICAL SHORTS AND IN SOME CASES, FIRES.
6.
Make certain your tank is securely fastened in
place.
7.
On travel trailer installations having dual tanks,
turn the tanks so that the open part of the tank
guard is facing the trailer. This will protect the
valve and regulator from flying rocks or mud.
8.
If you remove your tank for transport to a
dealer for refill, transport it in the same position
as it is normally used and with the valve closed.
Secure the tank against falling or rolling.
9.
Above all, practice safety at all times. LP gas
can be dangerous. If you have any questions
about the operation of your gas appliances or
the LP gas system itself, contact your local LP
gas dealer.
