WARNING: LP gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm
vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in a compartment 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 which
could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
Be sure your LP gas regulator is protected from road spray. If water enters the vent in the
regulator, it may freeze the pressure controlling diaphragm in the open position so that
the container pressure is applied to the appliances – a hazardous condition. Be sure to
carefully read the instructions given by the manufacturer of the regulator.

Automatic Changeover Regulator

The automatic changeover regulator allows both gas bottles to be turned on simulta-
neously. The arrow on the regulator handle indicates which bottle is in service. When the
indicated bottle in service becomes empty, changeover is automatically accomplished to
commence drawing fuel from the other bottle. At this point, the plastic window will
display a red signal or flag to indicate the condition. The lever should then be flipped
over to indicate service on the other bottle. The first bottle which was depleted can then
be turned off, uncoupled and taken to be refilled without disturbing the RV gas supply.
After refilling, it can be removed and again turned to the "ON" position. When the other
bottle is depleted, the LP gas supply will again be automatically changed back to the first
bottle.

Operation

After the camper is completely set up and you are prepared for camping enjoyment,
follow these steps for LP gas operation.
1. Close ALL burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open main valve on LP container slowly to avoid a fast rush through the excess
flow valve causing "gas freeze." Should you experience a gas "freeze-up," close the
main valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as gas begins to flow. If "hissing" is heard for more than one or two
seconds, close valve and search for leak.
4. Light appliances as needed and directed in the appliance chapter.
