Servicing Or Filling - Jayco 2016 White Hawk Owner's Manual

SECTION 7 – FUEL & PROPANE SYSTEMS
Close the propane cylinder main shut off valve by hand tightening only. Use of tools
creates a potential to over tighten the valve (damaging the interior seals on the cylinder
valve seat). If this type of damage occurs, the cylinder will not close properly.
The following label should be kept permanently affixed to your RV.

Servicing or filling

Have the recreation vehicle checked for leaks at the connections on the propane system
soon after the purchase and the initial filling of each propane cylinder. When you have a
new cylinder filled for the first time, make sure your propane supplier purges your new
cylinder of trapped air. Otherwise, an improper mixture of gas and air will make it
impossible to light your propane appliances.
Before entering a propane or fuel service station make sure all pilot lights are
extinguished. Shut off gas to all appliances by closing the propane gas main shut off
valve. Always shut OFF any engine before refueling. Do not smoke and do not
operate other ignition sources while refueling.
No one should be inside and only the qualified propane service technician should be near
the RV while the propane tank is being filled. The new propane container must be
carefully purged for best performance and must NEVER BE OVERFILLED. The
following label should be kept permanently affixed to your RV.
The position of the propane container(s) and the hoses are critical to proper operation and
propane flow. Follow these instructions to make sure your propane container(s) are
connected properly.
The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid tension or pulling stress at either end of
the hose. Keep the pigtail hose away from sharp edges of the cylinder collar, rigid
corners, walls, doors or other compartment structures including the cover.
