LP GAS ALARM

Your coach is equipped with an LP gas detec-
tor which sounds an alarm if an unsafe amount of
LP gas is present inside the coach. Because LP
gas is heavier than air, the detector is located on
a cabinet face near the floor of the coach.
A green light on the face of the alarm shows
when the unit is active. The red button is used to
reset the alarm.

If The Alarm Sounds
If the alarm sounds, do not touch any electri-
cal switches. Immediately turn off the main LP
tank valve and all LP appliances, open all win-
dows and roof vents, and leave the coach until
the alarm stops sounding.
If the alarm keeps sounding at regular inter-
vals, a leak may be present. Contact your dealer
or an LP gas service center to have the problem
corrected before using the LP system again.
If the coach batteries become extremely
drained, an amber light on the face of the alarm
will come on and in some cases the LP alarm may
begin to sound on its own. This condition typical-
ly occurs only during storage situations when
battery charge is not being restored by the invert-
er charger or solar charger.
WARNING
Never use an open flame to test for
gas leaks. When testing for gas line
leaks with a soapy water solution, DO
NOT use a detergent containing
ammonia or chlorine. These sub-
stances may generate a chemical
reaction causing corrosion to gas
lines, resulting in dangerous leak con-
ditions.
Power Connection
The gas alarm is powered by the coach batter-
ies. If the battery cable is disconnected from the
batteries, auxiliary battery switch is shut off, or
the circuit breaker is tripped, the alarm will not
