The following procedures will help keep your system functioning properly:
• Inspect the lines and fittings regularly for signs of corrosion or dents.
• Periodically check for leaks. To check a fitting, apply very soapy water and look for
bubbles. Make sure to do this before and after long or rough trips.
• Do not use any product with ammonia, chlorine, or other corrosive chemicals.
• The tank should be protected from rust by a periodic application of good paint.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A MATCH WHEN CHECKING FOR LEAKS IN
THE LP-Gas SYSTEM.
Many common problems have simple solutions. Some of these are listed herein. If you
are unable to solve a problem, take your coach to a service center, dealer, or fuel supplier
to be inspected by trained personnel. The LP-Gas system should only be serviced by
qualified, trained technicians.
The following problems and solutions are some of the more common ones that may be
encountered. Practice safety at all times. If you have questions about the operation of your
appliances, or LP-Gas system, contact your local LP-Gas dealer or an approved service
center.
Problem: Gas flow is very slight.
Close the vapor valve and slowly reopen. The excess flow check valve constricts gas flow
if it is opened too quickly.
Problem: Gas does not seem to reach appliances. Generator will not run; pilot lights
will not light.
Check the gas level in the tank.
Check to make sure LP detector is on.
Check to make sure that the vapor valves are open. Close them and open again, following
the procedure above.
Check for debris or corrosion on the regulators. If any is apparent, take the coach to a
service center for repair.
