3. Using the threaded center rod, position the regulator bracket. This centers the
regulator between the two cylinders as they are secured to the base tray.
4. Attach the1/4" inverted flare x 11" Type-1 pigtail hose to the regulator inlet and the
right hand swivel nut to the cylinder valve.

WARNING: The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid tension or
pulling stress at either end of the hose.
I
WARNING: Keep the pigtail hose away from sharp edges of the
cylinder collar, rigid corners, walls, doors or other compartment
structures including the cover.

NOTE: The regulator is typically installed with the inlet fittings at the same level as
the cylinder outlet valves. Due to bracket design, wing nut clearance or cover
restrictions, the regulator fittings may not be in perfect alignment with the cylinder
valves. A variance of two (2) inches (5 cm) above or below the line will permit the
hoses to be properly installed.
Main Supply Hose – Low Pressure
The main supply hose (Fig. 23)will be attached from the regulator to the brass manifold

Several things to remember each time the LP gas container is removed:
1. Check that ALL fittings are tight.
2. Check that ALL connections are tested with leak solution. Consult with your
independent, authorized dealer or LP gas service personnel.
3. Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of gas to excess flow valve causing
gas freeze up. If you experience a gas "freeze-up," close the main valve and wait at
least fifteen (15) minutes before trying again. Refer to the document found with your
trailer literature from the regulator manufacturer.
4. Listen carefully - a "hissing" sound longer than one second may indicate a gas leak.
Close the valve and search for the leak.
