lP GAS SYSTEM
9. 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 ...
10. lP gas regulators must always be installed with the
diaphragm vent facing d.ownward. 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 caus-
ing fire or explosion.
11. Do not usea wrench or pliers to close the tank shut-
off valve. This valve is designed to be closed leak-
tight by hand, If a tool is required to stop a leak, the
valve probably needs repair or replacement.
12. If you dO not have the special tools and training
necessary, do not attempt to repair or modify lP gas
system components.
13. Always think safety.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Hoses
The hoses used in your LP gas system meet UL Qr CSA requirements, and
are rated to withstand many times the pressures encountered in the system.
Although they are designed for efficient and trouble free use, they can
deteriorate from impurities in the air. Consequently, check the hqses for
weather checking or other signs of deterioration every time you have the gas
tank filled or serviced. When you replace hoses, be sure that
r~placements
are
properly rated and approved for RV use.
