If any of the gas lines break, do not attempt to splice them—always run new lines to maintain
the safety of the motor home. It is strongly recommended that only qualified service technicians
perform this work.
Remember, the main valve at the LP gas tank must be closed whenever any gas appliance is to
be installed, removed, or serviced—this process prevents LP gas leakage which could result in a
possible harmful explosion. If the odor of LP gas is ever detected, immediately discontinue use
of any gas appliances and seek the services of a qualified service technician.

RECOMMENDED PRACTICES

The following practices are recommended to assure continued safety and reliability of the LP gas
system. These are, of course, representative; not necessarily exhaustive. In all cases, use common sense
in the use of the LP system.
Visually inspect the LP fill valve before any refueling operation to look for foreign materials or
debris; remove, as necessary, to assure a leak-tight connection.
Prior to any refueling operation of the LP gas system, shut off all the pilot lights.
NEVER, under any circumstances, check for LP gas leaks with any type of open flame; doing so
would probably cause an explosion and subsequent fire.
Periodically inspect visually the entire LP gas distribution system; do so at least annually and
before any major trips.
Should problems be noted, seek the services of a qualified service technician to make necessary
repairs and perform any maintenance.
