the empty cylinder to have it refilled without interrupting the flow from the full bottle. After
filling the cylinder, connect the pigtail hose and slowly open the bottle valve.
The regulator has a vent to relieve excess pressure on the inlet side of the regulator should
excess pressure develop in the gas tank and connecting gas line to that regulator inlet. The
vent would normally release the excess LP gas to the atmosphere until the over-pressuriza-
tion condition is eliminated.
The regulator vent should be regularly checked to assure that it is not clogged or obstruct-
ed. If that vent is blocked from normal operation, component or system failures may result.
If periodic visual inspection indicates any sign of corrosion or degradation, contact a qual-
ified service technician to repair the regulator as soon as possible. DO NOT operate the
LP-gas system with any faulty component in place.
• When the LP-gas regulator is installed or reinstalled, the regulator must always be in-
stalled with the gas diaphragm vent facing downwards.
• Always keep the main valve to the LP-gas tank closed when the system is not in use.
• When the LP tank is empty, keep the main valve closed until refilling is to be performed;
this process will keep any moisture-laden air from back-flowing into the gas system and
trapping unwanted moisture in the LP-gas tank.
• If an empty LP-gas tank has been exposed to the atmosphere for an extended time, let a
qualified service technician purge the tank before its next filling operation.

NOTE: If any of the gas lines break, do not attempt to splice them—new lines must
be run to maintain the safety of the RV. It is strongly recommended that only
qualified service technicians perform this work.
