Lp Leak Detector - Fleetwood 1999 Discovery Parts And Service Manual

LP
CAS SYSTEM
Always check all exposed piping and fittings after you have
arrived at a campsite and before you use any gas appliance.
Travel and road shocks may have caused damage to the sys-
tem that must be repaired before using the appliances.
Keep the tank valve closed and turn off all appliances if the
motor home is not being used.
An LP gas leak detector is located near the floor in the galley
area. The leak detector will sound a loud alarm if low levels
of potentially dangerous LP gas are in the air. The leak
detector will also disconnect the gas supply at the LP tank
when it senses LP or similar gases such as hair spray or
cleaning solvent.
The detector unit is powered by both 12-volt DC systems in
your motor home. A power switch is located on the panel. A
green light on the detector front panel indicates that the
detector has power. If the power switch is OFF, gas flow
from the tank is cut off by a special electric valve located at
the tank.
Please note that the LP gas tank for the generator is not
equipped with a leak detector, and gas flow from the gen-
erator LP gas tank will not be disconnected if the LP gas
leak detector is activated.
Test the leak detector each time the motor home is relocated
and set up for use.
WARNING
Do not use pliers or a
wrench to tighten valves.
If a valve is not leak tight
when closed by hand.
see an LP gas service
representative.
