Automatic Changeover Regulator; Operation - Jayco 2004 Talon ZX Owner's Manual

I
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 simultaneously. 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.

WARNING: All pilot lights and appliances must be turned off during refueling of
motor vehicle tanks and/or LP gas containers.

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.

WARNING: Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills
and stoves, shall not be used inside the recreation vehicle. The use of this equipment
inside the recreation vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
