Bow Anchor Windlass (Optional) - Quicksilver 905WE Owner's Manual

Quicksilver 905WE — System & Component Overview and Operation
LPG Pipe & Hoses
Your LPG system consists of hoses connecting the LPG tank to the stove. The hoses in the LPG system
must be inspected regularly, at least annually, and replaced if any deterioration is found.
System Leak Test
Prior to the boat leaving the factory, the LPG system is tested for any potential leaks. However,
Quicksilver® recommends that you test the system regularly. Test all connections for leakage by
means of the following:
1. Before each use, close appliance valves; open LPG cylinder valve; allow indicated gauge
pressure to stabilize; close LPG cylinder valve; observe pressure gauge reading near cylinder
valve for three minutes; pressure gauge reading should remain constant if no leak in the
system is present. IF PRESSURE GAUGE READING FALLS, LEAK IS PRESENT. DO NOT USE LPG
APPLIANCES.
2. Routine observation of bubble leak detector (if fitted on the system).
3. Manual leak testing with foam-producing, soapy water or detergent solutions (with appliance
burner valves closed and cylinder and system valves open); foam-producing solutions for leak
detection on gas installations in accordance with EN 14291 meet these requirements.
If a leak is present, shut off the LPG supply at the main supply valve. Extinguish any open flames
(heaters, stoves, etc.) and do not operate any electric switches. Finally, evacuate the area if possible.
Quicksilver® recommends that any LPG system repairs should be made by your authorized
Quicksilver® dealer.
Fuel burning open flame appliances consume cabin oxygen
and release products of combustion into the craft.
Ventilation is required when appliances are in use. Open
designated vent openings while appliances are in use. Do
not use the stove or oven space heating. Never obstruct
ventilation openings.
Do not use solutions containing Ammonia
Changing LPG Cylinders
To replace empty LPG cylinder:
1. Turn off the stove and close the shutoff valve.
2. Close the valve on the LPG cylinder.
3. Remove the regulator by turning the nut clockwise.
4. Replace the empty tank.
5. Inspect the regulator. Make sure that the gasket located on the regulator nut is in good
condition. If not, replace regulator gasket or regulator itself.
6. Re-install and tighten the regulator by turning the nut counterclockwise.
7. Check for any leaks before restarting the stove.

9. Bow Anchor Windlass (optional)

The anchor windlass located at the bow of the boat assists with the anchoring of your boat by
automatically raising and lowering the anchor. The windlass is operated either from the helm or by
foot switches located at the bow of the boat.
If a leak is detected, shut off the main LPG supply valve and
do not use LPG appliances
Do not use an LPG system that has leaked until it has been
inspected and repaired by a competent person.
Never use flames to check for leaks
