Propane System
!
WARNING
6. Turn off Propane main valve before filling Propane
container or entering a Propane bulk plant or motor
fuel service station. Turn off all pilot lights and appli-
ances individually before refueling of motor fuel tanks
and/or Propane containers. When not individually
turned off, automatic ignition appliances may continue
to spark when Propane is turned off at the container.
7. Do not fill Propane containers to more than 80%
capacity. Overfilling can result in uncontrolled Propane
flow which can cause fire and explosion. A properly
filled container holds about 80% of its volume as liquid.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY.
8. Propane regulators must always be installed with
the regulator vent facing downward. Regulators that
are not in compartments 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 that could result in excessive
Propane pressure causing fire or explosion.
9. Do not use a wrench or pliers to close the tank shut-
off valve. This valve is designed to be closed by hand.
If a tool is required, the valve probably needs repair or
replacement.
10. If you do not have the special tools and training
necessary, do not attempt to repair Propane system
components.
11. Motor homes stored in enclosed garages must be
well ventilated.
12. Do not modify or alter the Propane plumbing system .
13. If any appliance or piping has been serviced,
ensure that a system leak check has been performed
by a trained technician. This should be verified before
taking delivery of the unit.
!
WARNING
Propane cylinders shall not be placed or stored inside
the vehicle. Propane cylinders are equipped with
safety devices that relieve excessive pressure by
discharging Propane to the atmosphere.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Hoses

The hoses used in your Propane system
meet stringent requirements, and are rated to
withstand many times the pressures encountered
09-2
in the system. Check the hoses for weather
checking or other signs of deterioration every
time you have the Propane tank filled or
serviced. When you replace hoses, be sure that
replacements are properly rated and approved
for RV use.

Propane Regulator

The two-stage regulator produces approximately
11 inches of water column (less than 0.5 psi) to
serve your appliances. Be sure the regulator vent
stays clean and free from obstructions.
The regulator is mounted so that the vent is
facing downward and is protected by a cover.
Be sure the cover is on at all times. If the
vent becomes clogged, it can be cleaned with
a toothbrush. If corrosion is evident, contact
a qualified Propane service technician for
assistance.
!
WARNING
Do not attempt to adjust the regulator. It has been
preset by the regulator manufacturer. If any adjust-
ment is required, it must be made by a qualified
Propane service tech nician using special equipment .
