Regulator
Regulators that are not in compartments have been equipped with
a protective cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces
downward and that the cover is kept in place to minimize vent
blockage that could result in regulator failure to operate
The regulator has the only moving components in the propane
system. It’s sole function is to reduce the high and varied pressure
from the propane containers to safe and consistent low operating
pressure. The small inlet is the first stage, which reduces the
container pressure to 10-13 pounds.
The second stage then reduces the 10-13 pound pressure to an
operating pressure of 11 inches w.c. (water column) or 6.35 ounces
of outlet pressure to your appliances. The second stage is
adjustable and may need to be adjusted for precise operation. We
suggest this to be normal maintenance and performed once per
year. Do not make this adjustment without a manometer. This
instrument is required to read actual pressure.
If pressure is too high, it affects performance and safety. Should
pressure be too low, appliances will not operate correctly. An
Propane cylinders shall not be placed or stored inside the vehicle. Propane
cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure
by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING
!

DO NOT CONNECT NATURAL GAS TO THIS SYSTEM.
Securely cap inlet when not connected for use. After turning on gas, except
after normal cylinder replacement, test gas piping and connections to appli-
ances for leakage with soapy water or bubble solution. Do not use products
