Your motor home has been carefully tested at the factory and by your selling dealer for
leakage. Travel vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the vehicle propane system checked
at all connections soon after the purchase of your vehicle, and after the initial filling of the
propane tanks.
Continued periodic checks of the propane system at 5,000 miles of travel (or at least once
a year) by a qualified propane service representative as part of your normal maintenance is
recommended. Hand tighten the LP gas system valves only, do not use a wrench or pliers as
over tightening may damage the valve seals and cause them to leak.
™ NOTE: All propane lines have been checked with air pressure at the time
of manufacture. Dealers are required to recheck and adjust pressure before
retail delivery.
The following label should be kept permanently affixed to the motor home:
Propane Gas Container
Propane is a true gas compressed into a liquid form. As the fuel is released from the con-
tainer, it changes to vapor which is then used for the operation of the appliances. Propane
will not run through the appliances in the liquid state.
A permanently mounted A.S.M.E. approved propane container is located under the floor of
the motor home.
™ NOTE: Tanks are to be installed, fueled and maintained in accordance to
State and Local codes, rules, regulations or laws.
Propane expands 1½ percent for every ten degrees of increase in temperature. It is impera-
tive to leave sufficient space inside the container to allow for natural expansion of gas during
warmer weather.
