Propane Alarm; Installing The Propane Cylinders - Tiffin Motorhomes VANLEIGH BEACON Owner's Manual

NEVER use a solution containing ammonia or chlorine when locating leaks. These products
are corrosive to copper gas lines and brass fittings, which could result in deterioration of the
copper and brass components.
If a leak is not fixed by tightening the connection, shut OFF the propane system valve(s) and
immediately contact your dealer.

PRoPANE ALARM

Your RV is equipped with a propane alarm. For detailed information on this alarm, see
cupant Safety" on page 43.

INSTALLING THE PRoPANE cYLINDERS

The position of the propane cylinder(s) and hoses is critical to proper operation and pro-
pane flow. Follow these instructions to make sure your propane container(s) are connected
properly.
1. Make sure all the RV appliances are shut off.
2. Make sure each LP cylinder shut-off valve is closed.
3. Connect the ⁄ ˝ low-pressure hose to the outlet of the two-stage regulator.

4. Place the cylinder on the bracket in the recess compartment or housing and secure
it so the outlets of the cylinder valve are facing the "sidewall" of the compartment or
housing.
Remember each time the propane container is reconnected:
• Check that ALL fittings are tight.
• Check that ALL connections are tested with a propane leak detector (or soapy water)
solution.
• Open the main shut-off valve on the LP cylinder slowly. This avoids propane freeze up,
caused by a fast rush of propane to the excess flow valve.
• If you do experience a propane freeze up, close the main valve and wait at least fifteen
(15) minutes before trying again. For more information, refer to the regulator manufac-
turer's operator manual.
• Listen carefully. A hissing sound longer than one second, may indicate a propane leak.
If you suspect that there is a leak, close the shut-off valve, then contact your dealer or
qualified propane technician for repair assistance.
