After your motor home is completely set up and you are prepared for camping
enjoyment, use the following steps for propane operation:
1. Close ALL burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open the main valve in the propane tank slowly to avoid a fast rush of
propane vapor through the excess flow valve causing propane "freeze-up."
Should you experience propane "freeze-up," close the main valve and wait 15
minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as propane begins to flow. If a hissing noise is heard for more
than one or two seconds, close the main valve and contact your RV dealer to
have the propane system tested.
4. Light the appliances as needed and directed in the appropriate appliance
manufacturer's owner manual located in the Warranty Packet.
Keep the propane container valves closed at all times unless you are using the
propane gas system or are having the propane container filled.
Make sure that you read and fully understand ALL safety requirements for
handling and operation of the propane system.
The Warranty Packet contains manufacturer's user guides for the various
appliances hooked to your propane system.
The propane system provides added benefits to your camping enjoyment;
however, it must be handled with care. If you have any questions or concerns,
consult with your dealer and/or the specific manufacturer.
If you have double cylinders on your motor home, use only one at a time.
Otherwise, the propane supply will be drawn equally from both cylinders until the
supply has been totally exhausted. Using one cylinder until it is empty, then using
the second cylinder will allow you to fill the empty cylinder at your convenience
without running totally out of propane.
