Propane Gas Pressure Regulator - Winnebago Adventurer 27N Manual

• Never use an open flame to test for propane
gas leaks. Replace all protective covers and
caps on propane system after filling. Make
sure valve is closed and door latched securely.
• Portable fuel-burning equipment, including
wood and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not
be used inside the recreational vehicle. The
use of this equipment inside the recreational
vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.
• Regulators are equipped with a protective
cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces
downward and that the cover is kept in place
to minimize vent blockage, which could result
in excessive gas pressure causing fire or
explosion.
PROPANE GAS PRESSURE
REGULATOR
The pressure regulator is protected from the
elements by a plastic cover, which should be left
in place at all times.
Propane regulators must always be installed
with the regulator vents facing downward.
Regulators that are not in compartments have
been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure
that the regulator vent faces downward and that
the cover is kept in place to minimize vent
blockage that could result in excessive propane
pressure causing fire or explosion.
Only your dealer or a qualified propane gas
service should remove the regulator cover for
adjustments.
WARNING
Visually inspect the pressure regulator
vent periodically for blockage by
accumulated debris or insect nests, etc.
Vent obstruction could result in excessive
pressure causing fire or explosion, which
could result in death or serious injury. If an
obstruction exists, have the regulator
serviced by a qualified service center.

Regulator Freeze-up
Regulator freeze-ups are caused by the
presence of moisture in fuel. This moisture will
pass through the cylinder valve and into the
regulator where it can freeze. Fuel producers,
tank and bottle manufacturers, and propane gas
dealers take every precaution to reduce moisture,
but sometimes only a fraction of an ounce
