LP Gas Leak Detector
An LP gas detector senses the presence of LP gas
and automatically sounds an alarm .and turns off the
gas flow. You may want to consider this type of
device as an accessory add-on.
LIGHTING LP GAS APPLIANCES
Detailed operating information for the LP appliances
can be found in your Owner's Information Package.
Please read and follow these instructions.
Air trapped in the gas lines may delay the initial
lighting of any appliance. To purge some of the air
from the gas system, light a burner on the range. The
other appliances will then light more quickly.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE APPLIANCE MANUFAC-
TURER'S LIGHTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
LP GAS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: LP GAS IS FLAMMABLE AND POTEN-
TIALLY EXPLOSIVE. USE PROPER HANDLING,
LIGHTING, AND VENTILATION PROCEDURES.
The distinctive odor of LP gas indicates a leak.
1. IF YOU SMELL GAS:
. :q,
*Extinguish all open flames, pilot lights and all
smoking materials.
*Do not touch electrical switches.
'Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or
"gas supply connection.
*Open all doors, windows, and vents.
*Leave the area until the odor clears.
*Have the gas system checked and the cause of
the leak corrected before using the system again .

2. Inspect the entire LP gas system for leaks or
damaged parts before each trip.
3. Always be careful when drilling holes or fasten-
ing objects to the motor home. A gas line could
be punctured by a nail or screw.
4. Do not restrict access to LP tanks. In an emergen-
cy, the tank service valve must be easily
accessible.
5. Do not carry or store filled or empty LP gas con-
tainers inside your motor home. LP gas containers
are equipped with safety devices that relieve ex-
cessive pressure by discharging gas to the at-
mosphere, and leaks can occur at valves and
fittings.
6. Do not use any LP gas tank other than the one
furnished with your motor home without being
sure that all connecting components are
compatible.
7. WARNING: Turn off LP gas main valve and in-
dividually turn off all gas appliances before enter-
ing an LP gas bulk plant or motor fuel service
station.
8. WARNING: DO NOT FILL LP GAS CONTAINERS
TO MORE THAN 80% CAPACITY. OVERFILLING
CAN RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED GAS FLOW
WHICH CAN CAUSE FIRE AND EXPLOSION. A
PROPERLY FILLED CONTAINER HOLDS ABOUT
80% OF ITS VOLUME AS LIQUID.
9. Never check for leaks with an open flam.e. Use
an approved leak detection solution or.'li non-
ammoniated, non-chlorinated soap solution
only. If the leak cannot be located, take the unit
to an LP gas service representative.
10. LP gas regulators must always be installed with
the diaphragm vent facing downward. Make
sure that the regulator vent faces downward
and that the cover is kept in place to minimize
vent blockage which could result in excessive
gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
