WARNING
Shut off all pilot lights and the control valve on the
LP gas container when fi lling the container and
during travel. Always refi ll empty LP gas container
as soon as possible.
Do not overfi ll your LP gas container. Stop fi lling
when liquid appears at the overfl ow valve, this indi-
cates that the tank is full (often called a 10% valve)
which contacts the liquid level at 80% of container
capacity allowing 20% for expansion.
Check after each fi lling by opening the overfl ow
valve and bleed gas in well-ventilated area until
white liquid stops. Overfi lling may cause damage
to regulator and cause malfunction of LP gas appli-
ances.
The tank is permanently mounted to the mo-
torhome frame. Therefore the vehicle must be
taken to a fuelling station to be fi lled.
LP gas stations are found in all parts of the coun-
try. Check with the Yellow pages in your telephone
book if you have trouble fi nding a station. Look
under “Gas-Liquefi ed Petroleum-Bottled and Bulk”
or ”Propane”.
Remind the service attendant to use the 80%
overfl ow valve when refuelling. Space must be
left in the tank for vaporization and expansion.
Never carry LP or any other fl ammable liquid con-
tainers in your motorhome. Gases may inadvert-
ently be discharged into the room which could
result in fi re or explosion.
WARNING
IMPORTANT
The LP tank has an automatic 80%
stop-fi ll device to prevent over fi lling
of the tank.
