NOTE: Actual filled liquid capacity is 80% of full tank
capacity.
WARNING: Extinguish all sources of heat, sparks, flame and
smoking materials within a 50-foot radius during the fueling
process.
1. Turn off the electric gas valve at the
remote tank fill, pilot lights, all
appliances and the engine.
2. Remove dust cover to fill valve. Screw
fill nozzle to fill valve.
3. Turn on dispensing pump, then open
80% bleed valve.
4. Open valve on fill nozzle dispensing liq-
uid into tank.
5. Close valve on fill nozzle as liquid just
begins to expel from 80% bleed valve.
6. Close 80% valve then shut off
dispensing pump.
7. Open high-pressure bleed valve on fill
nozzle to remove high pressure between
dispensing pump and fill nozzle.
Remove fill nozzle from fill valve.
8. Install dust cover.
WARNING: It is common for
small amounts of liquid propane to escape and evaporate
during the fueling process. Protect bare skin. Instant freezing
will occur if exposed to liquid propane.
WARNING: When storing portable LP-Gas tanks that are not
connected to an LP-Gas system, install an approved plug in the
tank outlet holes to prevent leaks. Do not store or
transport empty LP-Gas tanks, portable tanks, gasoline or other
flammable liquids inside the motorhome. Keep open flame
and spark producing materials away from the LP-Gas area.
Shut off all appliances and the primary LP-Gas tank valve
(located on the LP-Gas tank underneath the motorhome) when
the motorhome is in storage. If this warning is ignored, a fire or
explosion could result.
CAUTION: Pressure inside LP-Gas tanks can reach over 200
psi when exposed to direct sunlight. A high-pressure safety
relief valve will purge excess high pressure if necessary.
LP-Gas will stop vaporizing as the LP-Gas tank temperature
approaches - 40º F. Appliances that consume large amounts of
LP-Gas, such as the water heater or furnace, may need to be
operated in sequence in extremely cold environments.
