tubing with flare fittings. If any of these lines rupture, do not attempt to splice
them. Always have a new line run. Gas distribution work must be performed
by an authorized service technician. When removing or servicing any gas
appliance, close the main gas valve at the LP tank. This will prevent dangerous
gas leakage that could result in an explosion and possible serious injury. If a
gas leak is suspected, have the system inspected and repaired by a qualified
service technician as soon as possible.
WARNING
The main gas valve must be shut when the vehicle is not in use. Shut the valve
off when refueling to avoid potential danger from pilot lights igniting fuel fumes.
Gas valves on appliances with direct spark ignition (DSI) should also be in the
off position. Do not store LP, gasoline, diesel, or other flammable liquids inside
the vehicle. Fire or an explosion could be the result of ignoring this warning.

LP Tank Filling

Do not fill the tank to more than 80 percent of capacity. The unit must be level
when filling the LP tank. If not level, overfilling may occur. Fire or explosion
may be the result of uncontrolled gas flow from an overfilled tank.

LP Regulator

The regulator is the heart of the LP system. The regulator reduces the pressure
of the gas so it is safe to use with various appliances. Regulators are equipped
with a vent. In the event excess pressure builds up in the body of the regulator,
a relief mechanism vents it to the atmosphere. It will vent until the pressure
returns to the normal range. The vent must be kept clean and clear of
obstructions or corrosion. A clogged vent could cause the failure of
components. Contact a qualified LP technician if corrosion or obstruction
is noticed.
The presence of moisture in LP fuel causes the regulators to freeze. The
moisture will pass through the cylinder valve and into the regulator where
freezing occurs. To help prevent the regulator from freezing, always keep the
tank control valve closed when not in use, even when the tank is empty, to
prevent moisture from collecting on the inside.
If moisture becomes a problem, consult an authorized LP service center for
assistance.
