LPG SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
_____________________
You may have purchased as an option
with your 352 MY an optional LPG Cooking
System. This system is manufactured by
Seaward Products. The purpose of this op-
tion is to give a alternative to electric cooking
in your boat.
Open fl ame appliances con-
sume oxygen. This can cause asphyxia-
tion or death. Maintain open ventilation.
Do not use this appliance for comfort
heating.
It is recommended that every time the LPG
tank valve is opened for use, the operator
close the valve and watch that the gauge
needle remain constant. If leaks occur, re-
pair the leak. If the leak cannot be repaired,
DO NOT operate the appliance.
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and warm
detergent solution is generally enough to
keep your cooktop clean and beautiful. This
is done when the cooktop is cool. Use a dry
cloth or paper towel to clean splatters and
spills when surfaces are warm.
Due to the nature of LPG gas, it is necessary
to discuss safety items associated with the
operation this system.
1) This system is designed for use with Liq-
uefi ed Petroleum Gas (LPG) only. Do not
connect Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
to this system.
2) Keep cylinder valves and solenoid valves
closed when boat is unattended. Close
them immediately in any emergency. When
on board, cylinder valves and solenoid
valves shall be closed when appliances
are not in use. Keep empty cylinder valves
closed tightly. Keep protective covers caps
or plugs in place.
3) Close appliance valves before opening
cylinder valves.
4) Test for system leakage each time the
cylinder supply valve is opened for appli-
ance use. Close all appliance valves. Open
then close cylinder supply valve. Observe
pressure gauge at the regulating device and
see that it remains constant for not less than
three minutes before any appliance is used.
If any leakage is evidenced by a pressure
drop, check system with a leak detection
fl uid or detergent solution which does not
contain ammonia and repair before operat-
ing system.
NOTE: Ammonia, which is present in some
soaps and detergents, attacks brass fi t-
tings. Undetectable at fi rst, in a matter of
months, these fi ttings may develop cracks
and leaks.
NEVER USE FLAME
TO CHECK FOR LEAKS!
5) Do not obstruct quick access to LPG
system components in any way.
6) Do not use LPG cylinder housing for stor-
age of any other equipment.
7) Never leave craft unattended when LPG
consuming appliances are in use.
8) Do not smoke or use open fl ame when
replacing LPG Cylinders.
9) Inspect hoses in system at least annu-
ally. Replace every fi ve years or sooner if
deterioration is found.
