Regulator; Operation - Jayco Eagle Owner's Manual

RECHECK AND ADJUST PRESSURE
BEFORE DELIVERY TO CUSTOMERS.

Regulator

The regulator is the heart of your LP gas system with internal moving parts. Its function
is to reduce the high and varied pressure from the LP container to safe and consistent low
operating pressure. The pressure regulator reduces the full cylinder pressure within a
10-13 pound range. The second stage then reduces this inlet pressure to an operating
pressure of 11" W.C. (water column) or 6.35 oz. of outlet pressure to the coach system.
The second stage is adjustable and will need to be adjusted for precise operation. Only
qualified persons should install, adjust or service LP gas regulators. If service is needed,
contact a qualified LP dealer. We suggest this normal maintenance procedure be per-
formed once per year. Please refer to information provided from the manufacturer.
WARNING: LP gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm
vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in 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.
If you travel alternately on wet roads and in freezing weather, 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. Follow the instruction
given by the manufacturer of the regulator.

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 fast rush through excess flow
valve causing "gas freeze." Should you experience a gas "freeze-up," close 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 appliance chapter.
WARNING: Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal
grills and stoves, shall not be used inside the recreational vehicle. The use of
this equipment inside the recreational vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
ALL GAS LINES HAVE BEEN
