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
system 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 detec-
tor 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.
Test the leak detector each time the motor home is relocated
and set up for use.
Testing Procedure:
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.
