Operation; Checking For Leaks; If You Smell Gas - Jayco Eagle Owner's Manual

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.

Checking for Leaks

Please refer to Chapter 1, "Safety in Using LP Gas."

IF YOU SMELL GAS

1. Make sure that everyone is out of the RV.
2. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and all smoking materials.
3. Do not touch electrical switches.
4. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
5. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
6. Leave area until odor clears.
7. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
WARNING: It is not safe to use cooking appliance for comfort heating.
Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operation:
1. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan; and,
2. Open window.
This warning label has been located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an
adequate amount of fresh air for combustion. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen
supply is limited due to the size of the recreational vehicle, and proper ventilation when
using the cooking appliance(s) will avoid danger of asphyxiation.
