The regulator is equipped with a vent. This vent must stay
clean and open. The most common causes of regulator prob-
lems are clogging from corrosion, dirt, insect nests or other
material. Even a small piece of material that finds its way into
the vent can result in improper pressure in the system. This
could damage the system or cause other parts of the system to
fail.
The regulator is mounted so that the vent is facing downward
and is protected from water and dirt by a water-resistant cover.
Be sure the cover is on at all times. If the vent becomes
clogged, it can be cleaned with a toothbmsh. If you see
CotTO-
sion, contact a qualified LP gas service technician for a re-
placement regulator.
Your LP gas system will function at low temperatures, as long
as the system components are kept at a temperature above the
vapor point of the
LP
gas. Ask your
LP
gas supplier or your
motor home dealer for information on LP gas blends available
in your area and the areas in which you will be traveling.
The availability of gas is reduced at lower temperatures. Keep
your
LP
tank as full as possible during cold weather. Check
the BTU/hr. rating plates on your LP gas appliances. This
information will help you manage your
LP
gas use. The chart
below shows the reduction in available BTUs/hour at different
fill levels as the temperature drops:
