LPG Pipe & Hoses
Your LPG system consists of hoses connecng the LPG tank to the stove. The hoses in the LPG system
must be inspected regularly, at least annually, and replaced if any deterioraon is found.
System Leak Test
Prior to the boat leaving the factory, the LPG system is tested for any potenal leaks. However,
Quicksilver® recommends that you test the system regularly. Test all connecons for leakage by
means of the following:
1. Before each use, close appliance valves; open LPG cylinder valve; allow indicated gauge
pressure to stabilize; close LPG cylinder valve; observe pressure gauge reading near cylinder
valve for three minutes; pressure gauge reading should remain constant if no leak in the
system is present. IF PRESSURE GAUGE READING FALLS, LEAK IS PRESENT. DO NOT USE LPG
APPLIANCES.
2. Roune observaon of bubble leak detector (if ed on the system).
3. Manual leak tesng with foam-producing, soapy water or detergent soluons (with appliance
burner valves closed and cylinder and system valves open); foam-producing soluons for leak
detecon on gas installaons in accordance with EN 14291 meet these requirements.
If a leak is present, shut o the LPG supply at the main supply valve. Exnguish any open ames
(heaters, stoves, etc.) and do not operate any electric switches. Finally, evacuate the area if possible.
Quicksilver® recommends that any LPG system repairs should be made by your authorized
Quicksilver® dealer.
Do not use an LPG system that has leaked unl it has been
inspected and repaired by a competent person.
