Over filling the Propane gas container can result in uncontrolled gas flow,
which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled container will hold
approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid Propane gas.
The Propane gas system components in your unit have been approved for use
in camping vehicles by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. Propane gas
is a clean-burning dependable fuel when properly handled. The Propane gas
tank(s) mounted on your unit contain liquid petroleum gas under high pressure.
The liquid gas vaporizes as the fuel is used and passes through the tank valve
to a regulator that automatically reduces the pressure. The low-pressure gas is
then distributed to the appliances through the pipe manifold system. Appliance
lighting problems are commonly caused by an improperly adjusted gas
regulator. Never attempt to reset the regulator yourself. Have an authorized
service technician make any necessary adjustments. We recommend that you
have the Propane gas system checked by an authorized service technician at
least once a year, and after every extended trip. Although the manufacturer and
dealer test carefully for leakage, travel vibrations could loosen fittings. Leaks
can be easily found by applying leak detector solutions at the connections.
If leak detector solution is not available, a soapy water solution made with dish
soap can be used. Tightening the fitting usually stops any leaks. If this does not
work, shut off the main gas valve at the tank and immediately consult an
authorized technician for repairs. If a leak is suspected, the identifying odor
smells similar to rotten eggs (sulfur). Never test for a leak by lighting a match
or have an open flame where you suspect leaking gas.
WARNING
DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
WARNING
Propane gas containers, gasoline or other flammable liquids shall not be placed
or stored inside the vehicle because fire or explosion may result. Propane gas
containers are equipped with safety valves that relieve excessive pressure by
discharging gas into the atmosphere.
