gas leakage that could result in an explosion and possible serious injury. If a
gas leak is suspected, have the system inspected and repaired by a qualified
service technician as soon as possible.
Propane Bottle Filling
Do not fill the bottles to more than 80 percent of capacity. Fire or
explosion may be the result of uncontrolled gas flow from an overfilled
tank.
WARNING
The main gas valve must be shut when the vehicle is not in use. Shut the valve
off when refueling to avoid potential danger from pilots lights igniting fuel fumes.
Gas valves on appliances with direct spark ignition (DSI) should also be in the
off position. Do not store Propane, gasoline, diesel, or other flammable liquids
inside the vehicle. Fire or an explosion could be the result of ignoring this
warning.
WARNING
Portable fuel burning appliances are not safe for heating inside the recreational
vehicle. Asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning can occur.
The presence of moisture in Propane fuel causes the regulators to freeze. The
moisture will pass through the cylinder valve and into the regulator where
freezing occurs. To help prevent the regulator from freezing, always keep the
tank control valve closed when not in use, even when the tank is empty, to
prevent moisture from collecting on the inside. If moisture becomes a problem,
consult an authorized Propane service center for assistance.
Propane Leak Detector
Liquid Propane (Propane) Gas is heavier than air and will settle to the lowest
point of the room, which is generally on the floor of your coach. Because of
this, the Propane detector installed in your coach is located near the floor. The
detector is also sensitive to other fumes, such as hair spray, which contain
butane as the propellant. Butane, like propane, is heavier than air and will
settle to the floor level where it may be detected. When this occurs, press the
reset button to stop the alert sound for 60 seconds.
