Main Supply Hose – Low Pressure
The main supply hose (Fig. 22) will be attached from the regulator to the brass manifold
fitting in the frame of the trailer. The swivel brass nut on the main hose will be your final
attachment.

Several things to remember each time the propane container is removed:
1. Check that ALL fittings are tight.
2. Check that ALL connections are tested with leak solution. Consult with your
independent, authorized dealer or propane service personnel.
3. Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane to excess flow valve
causing propane freeze up. If you experience a propane "freeze-up," close the main
valve and wait at least fifteen (15) minutes before trying again. Refer to the document
found with your trailer literature from the regulator manufacturer.
4. Listen carefully - a "hissing" sound longer than one second may indicate a propane
leak. Close the valve and search for the leak.

Regulator

The regulator is in integral part of the propane system. It is required to reduce the pressure
of the propane 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.
I
WARNING: Propane 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 propane
pressure causing fire, explosion, death or serious injury.
