SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
SAFETY
i N
USING L.P. GAS
You should check for leaks at the connections
on
the L.P.-gas
system soon after purchase and initial filling of L.P.-tanks, and
continued periodic checks of the system are recommended. Your
vehicle was manufactured to provide you with full access to all gas
line connections. Leaks can b e found with a soapy water solution
applied t o the outside of the gas piping connections: the soap will
bubble at the leak. DO
NOT
USE FLAME OR LIGHTED MATCHES
TO TEST FOR LEAKS. Usually tightening of connections wil1 close
leaks. If not, ask your authorized dealer service department to make
the necessary repairs.
EVEN THOUGH THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE
ALREADY MADE TESTS FOR LEAKAGE, THIS CHECK IS
ADVISABLE BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION ENCOUNTERED
DURING TRAVEL.
E.P.+gas is heavier than air. Leaking gas tends to
flow
to low
places, It wilI sometimes pocket in a low area. L.P.-gas can
usually be detected by an identifiable odor similar to onions or
garlic. Never light a match or allow any open flame in the
presence of leaking gas.
It is very important to have L.P.-gas shut off during refueling of
tow vehicles. Some states prohibit gas appliances to be operated
during travel, especially in any underground tunnels.
Never allow gas containers to be filled above the liquid
capacity
indicated on the container. If a container is overfilled, liquid gas
may flow through t h e regulator causing it to freeze and/or
introduce a dangerous excessive gas pressure into the lines. In
addition,
an
overfilled container placed in hot sunlight may expel
excess gas
through the relief
valve
and be susceptible to ignition
by any nearby open flame.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SAFETY
Circuit breakers and fuses are installed to protect electrical circuits
from overloading. Do not make unauthorized changes to circuitry
or add on fixed appliance yourself. If you wish changes, consult
your dealer
and
he will assist you in obtaining a safe installation.
An approved power supply cord has been supplied with the
vehiclc. Always use this cord for hook-up to the 120-volt source.
Note that the cord has a three pin plug, which provides proper
grounding through the third (round) pin.
