DANGER: Never smoke during the filling of LP gas tanks. Failure to
follow this safety rule could lead to death or serious injury from fire or
explosion.

CAUTION: Remember - POL adapters and fittings have left hand
threads.
POL ADAPTER AND LOW PRESSURE
LP gas leaves the tank through a POL adapter with an excess flow valve built into the
adapter, which is attached to the regulator. No sealant is required on a brass to brass
connection. The excess flow valve provides a large volume of LP gas to escape from the
bottle if there is a breakage between the LP gas tank and the regulator.
REGULATOR
The regulator is an integral part of the LP gas system. It is required to reduce the pressure of
the LP gas before it is sent to the system to operate your appliances. It is critical to your
safety that you read, understand and follow all literature supplied with your unit on the
operation and maintenance of the regulator.

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, explosion, death or serious injury.
MAIN SUPPLY HOSE – LOW PRESSURE
The main supply hose (Fig. 20) is attached from the regulator to the brass manifold fitting
in the frame of the motorhome. The swivel brass nut on the main hose is the final
attachment.

LP GAS CONSUMPTION
Most gas appliances are operated intermittently. Unless there is heavy use of hot water, the
water heater consumption is minimal. During freezing weather and high wind conditions,
furnace consumption can be extremely high.
