Symptoms of this condition would be appliances that
light but have lower than normal flame or starve out
from lack of gas, a substantial reduction in the flame
when another appliance is operating, or pilots that are
difficult to light. If this should happen, the following
steps should eliminate the condition:
1 Close LPG cylinder valve *
2 Extinguish all flames and smoking materials.
3 Be sure all gas appliances, including their pilot
lights, are off *
4 Open LPG cylinder valve slowly Do not snap open
5 Wait at least 15 seconds before lighting appliances
6 If operational difficulties continue, there may be
a leak in the system Immediately close the LPG
cylinder valve and have the system inspected by a
qualified RV service technician.
*When reconnecting a full cylinder to an auto
changeover regulator, it is not necessary to shut off the
appliances or close the valve of the cylinder already in
service
The amount of time a full tank of gas will last is
dependent on usage In cold weather, when you are
using the furnace, large amounts of hot water, and are
doing extensive cooking, you will naturally use more
than you will in warm weather when you may do limited
cooking On the average, with normal cooking and
other appliance use, you can probably count on two to
three weeks of service from each tank
Leaking LPG may ignite, causing a fire or
explosion, which could result in serious bodily
injury, property damage, and/or death.
NOTE
Refer to Section 2 - Safety and Section 5 -
Interior for additional LPG warnings and safety
information.

WARNING

Automatic Gas Regulator

All trailers are equipped with a two stage automatic
change-over gas regulator that offers the convenience
of automatic changeover from empty to full gas
cylinders Both tanks are connected to this regulator
Make sure there is propane in both tanks before you
start Rotate the white knob on the top-front side of
the regulator toward the cylinder you want to use first.
This will be the service cylinder and the other will be
the reserve cylinder Slowly open both cylinder valves
Open both cylinder valves completely, then close about
1/4-turn This will allow you to easily check to see if
valves are open or closed The indicator on top of the
regulator will turn bright green The indicator will stay
bright green as long as there is fuel coming from the
service cylinder When the service cylinder empties,
the regulator will automatically draw fuel from the
reserve cylinder, providing an uninterrupted fuel flow
to the system When it switches over, the indicator will
change from green to red This red color indicates the
service cylinder is empty and needs to be filled.
LPG regulators must always be installed with the
diaphragm vent facing down. Regulators that are
not located in compartments have been equipped
with a protective cover. Make sure the regulator
vent faces down and the cover is kept in place
to minimize vent blockage, which could result in
excessive gas pressure, causing fire or explosion.
