WARNING
5. Do not restrict access to LP tanks. In a!1 emergency, the
tank service valve must be easily identified and accessible.
The tank compartment door must always be unlocked, and the
LP label should be visible.
6. Do not carry or store filled or empty LP gas containers.
Including accessories such as gas barbecues, in your motor
home. LP gas containers are equipped with a safety device
that relieves excessive pressure by discharging gas to the
atmosphere. Leaks can occur at valves and fittings. Always
store LP tanks outside with the valves closed and plugged.
7. Do not use any LP gas tank other than the one furnished
with your motor home without being sure that all connecting
components are compatible.
S. Turn off LP gas main valve before filling LP gas tank or
entering an LP gas bulk plant or motor fuel service station.
Turn off all pilot lights and appliances individually before refu-
eling of motor fuel tanks and/or LP gas containers.
When not individually turned off, automatic ignition appliances
may continue to spark when LP gas is turned off at the
container.
9. Do not fill LP gas containers to more than SO% capacity.
Overfilling can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause
fire and explosion, a properly filled container holds about SO%
of its volume as liquid.
10. LP gas regulators must always be installed with the
diaphragm vent facing downward. Make sure that the regula-
tor vent faces downward and that the cover is kept in place to
minimize vent leakage which could result in excessive gas
pressure causing fire or explosion.
