If the alarm sounds
•
Turn off all propane gas appliances (i.e.,
stove, water heater, furnace, refrigerator,
etc.). Do not touch any electrical switch or
use any phone or radio in the RV.
•
Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors or
by an open door or window) and execute
your family safety plan.
•
Close the propane cylinder main shut off
valve.
•
Do not start any vehicle engine or
generator.
•
Determine and repair the source of the
leak. Do not re-enter the RV until the
problem is corrected.
If the propane alarm keeps sounding at
regular intervals, a propane leak may be
present. Contact your dealer or propane gas
service to have the problem corrected before
using the propane system again.
Testing the propane leak alarm
Test the alarm after each storage period,
before each trip and at least once per week
during use of the RV. If the propane alarm
does not test properly, replace it immediately.
