Gas Leaks; Ventilation; General Safety Notes - Bailey ADVANCE 2019 Owner's Manual

6. Check the hose connection at the cylinder
valve and also at the MonoControl CS inlet
for leaks after every modification.
7. After making changes always check the
connection to the cylinder for leaks using
a leak detector spray or a soapy solution.
We recommend that the gasket (part
number 50020-76300) is replaced
with every hose change. This will be
provided by your supplying dealer
upon replacement of the hose.

If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the
supply should be turned off at the cylinder
immediately. Extinguish all naked flames and
sources of ignition.
• Ensure the gas valve is turned off.
• The strong unpleasant smell of gas means
that a leak has been detected.
• Check that gas is not escaping from an unlit
appliance.
• Never check for leaks with a naked flame.
Check all pipe joints by using a washing-up
liquid solution – the gas will bubble in the
area of the leak.
• Isolate the supply, preferably at the cylinder,
and seek professional help.
• Do not operate electrical switches.
• Open all doors and windows to allow any gas
to escape. Butane/propane gas is heavier
than air so any escaping gas will therefore
collect at a low level - ensure floor vents
remain unobstructed.
• If the leak was internal, evacuate.
• If the gas leak cannot be stopped, remove
the cylinder to a safe place in the open air
in an upright position away from drains and
any source of ignition. Immediately contact
a competent service engineer.
• When being stored always keep gas
cylinders outside (and protected against
frost). If they must be kept inside make sure
they are well away from heat and near to a
drop vent.
• If taps are too stiff to operate or appear to
be a source of leakage, call in a competent
installer to rectify. LPG taps require a
special grease.
• If in doubt always ask a qualified engineer.

Carbon monoxide is odourless, colourless
and tasteless and will rapidly cause
unconsciousness and death with little or
no warning prior to collapse. Under no
circumstances should the motorhome's
ventilation be blocked or obstructed in any
way. High-level ventilation is via the rooflights.
The low-level ventilation is achieved via the
vents located in the floor.
The exterior gas vent/flue should be kept free
of any obstructions including but not limited to
dust, leaves, dirt and/or personal items. Inspect
regularly. Use a brush and soapy water to clean
when needed. It may be necessary to remove
the weather shield to gain access for cleaning.
Safety ventilation shall in no
circumstances be obstructed, even
partially.
Flues which terminate below the floor
require that free evacuation of the
products of combustion is always
maintained. At least three sides of the
underfloor space shall always be kept
open and unobstructed especially by
snow. No additional opening in the
floor should be created.

The pressure of external LPG supply to
external supply plug shall not be less than 0,3
bar nor greater than 0,5 bar.
The operating pressure for the gas supply is
30mbar (or 28mbar butane/ 37mbar propane)
and must correspond to the operating pressure
of the appliance (see name plate).
During initial operation of a brand new
appliance a certain amount of fumes and a
slight smell may be noticed. Immediately run
the heater at maximum output and ensure
adequate room ventilation.
If the burner makes an unusual noise, it is likely
that the regulator is faulty and it is essential to
have it checked by a qualified person.
Repair jobs must only to be carried out by a
fully-trained expert.
