LP.-gas (liquid petroleum) is a materiai composed of various hydrocarbons
such as propane, propylene, butanes, butylenes, or
a
mixture of them. In its
gaseous form (vaporized) it is colorless and carries an added garlic-like odor
for detection. Besides being flammable, it is potentially lethal to inhale.
L.P.-gas is compressed into liquid for storage and transportation. k.P.-gas
will vaporize during extreme cole (-40°F.).
WARNING:
11.P.-gm system
must be carefarlly maintained and lall
safety rules observed.

L.P.-gas tanks mounted on your vehicle contain L.P.-fuel in liquid form
under high pressure. As fuel is used, vapor (L.P.-gas) passes from the top ~f
the tank through a dual-stage regulator which reduces the pressure to about
6-1/2 ounces per square inch or 11
inches water column. Vapor at the low
pressure is then transferred through the gas distribution lines for appliance
use. You must keep the regulator clean and dry. Its cover should remain in
place and
its
vent placed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Upon delivery and periodically thereafter, check your gas system for possible
leaks. Aithough rhe entire distribution system and its attached appliances
have undergone factory testing for leaks, with normal use being subject to
road
vibrations, connections and fittings can develop
leaks.
If you do
encounter this odor, turn off all open flames immediately and
commence
a
systematic search for leaks throughout the gas system. Use a bubble solution
or soapy water--NEVER A
MATCH--on
connections and fittings. Bubbles will
