Quicksilver 755SD — System & Component Overview and Operation
Ensure that when the LPG stove is on, avoid contact of
materials to the open flame. Never leave craft unattended
when open flame LPG consuming appliances are in use.
Stove
There is a single burner LPG stove located in the cockpit entertainment center. Refer to the stove
owner's manual for specific details on operation. Do not use stove when high angles of rolling or
sustained angles of heel are likely.
Tank Storage
The LPG tank storage is located in the forward end of the L-lounge tub. The tank must be firmly
secured to the boat with the tank in a horizontal position. Do not relocate or reposition the tank. Do
not obstruct access to the LPG tank in any way. Make sure to keep valves on empty cylinders closed
and disconnected, and keep protective covers, caps or plugs in place. Do not store spare cylinders in
the L-lounge tub. Only keep spare cylinders in ventilated housings on open decks or in gas-tight
lockers which are vented overboard and intended for storing LPG tanks. Finally, do not use LPG
cylinder housing for storage of any other equipment.
LPG Shutoff Valve
An inline fuel shutoff valve is located in the forward storage area in the entertainment center. Always
close fuel supply line valves and cylinder valve when appliances are not in use. Also, remember to
close all valves before refueling and immediately in an emergency. Finally, be sure appliance valves
are closed before opening cylinder valve.
LPG Pipe & Hoses
Your LPG system consists of a combination of hoses and copper pipe 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:
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.
Do not smoke or use open flame when replacing LPG
cylinders. Close cylinder valves on empty cylinders before
disconnecting for replacement.
