system after filling. Make sure valve is closed and
door latched securely.
Never connect natural gas to the LP gas system.
When lighting range burners do not turn burner
controls to "On" and allow gas to escape before
lighting match or pressing igniter.
Portable fuel-burning equipment, including wood
and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used
inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this
equipment inside the recreational vehicle may
cause fires or asphyxiation.
LP gas regulators must always be installed with the
diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators are
equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that
the regulator vent faces downward and that the
cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage
that could result in excessive gas pressure causing
fire or explosion.
The following warning label is located in the
cooking area to remind you to provide an
adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.
Unlike large homes, the oxygen supply inside a
recreational vehicle is limited due to its size. To
avoid danger of asphyxiation, provide proper
ventilation when using the gas range top or gas
oven. It is especially important that the gas oven
and range top not be used for comfort heating.
Danger of asphyxiation is greater when these
appliances are used for long periods of time.
LP Gas Leaks
The following label is
located in the vehicle near
the range area. If you
smell gas within the
vehicle, quickly and
carefully perform the
procedures listed.
If You Smell Gas
Extinguish any 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 doors and other ventilating
openings.
Leave the area until odor clears.
Have the gas system checked and
leakage source corrected before using
again.
LP gas alarm
Your coach is equipped with an LP gas detector
that sounds an alarm if an unsafe amount of LP
gas is present inside the coach. Because LP gas is
heavier than air, the detector is located on a
cabinet face near the floor of the coach.
A green light on the face of the alarm shows when
the unit is active. If the detector senses LP gas,
the alarm will make a loud, pulsating sound and
the red light will come on. Pressing the "MUTE"
button will stop the alarm for 60 seconds. If there
is no more detectable LP gas, the alarm will stay
off. If the detector still senses the LP gas by the
end of the 60-second mute mode, the alarm will
sound again.
If The Alarm Sounds
If the alarm sounds, do not touch any electrical
switches. Immediately turn off the main LP tank
valve and all LP appliances, open all windows and
roof vents, and leave the coach until the alarm
stops sounding.
If the alarm keeps sounding at regular intervals, a
leak may be present. Contact your dealer or an LP
gas service center to have the problem corrected
before using the LP system again.
If the coach batteries become extremely drained
(8.5 volts or less), the amber Low Voltage/FAULT
light on the face of the alarm will come on, and in
some cases the LP alarm may begin to sound on
its own. This condition is not likely to occur except
during storage situations when coach battery
charge is not being restored by the converter
charger or solar charger.
