Lighting Lp Gas Appliances - Fleetwood 1990 Southwind Owner's Manual

presence of low levels of potentially dangerous LP
gas that may have been released due to a range top
or oven burner flame loss, a gas piping leak, or an
incorrectly adjusted appliance burner. The unit will
also disconnect the gas supply at the LP tank when
it senses LP or similar gases.
The detector unit is powered by the 12-volt DC
system in your motor home. A power switch is located
on the panel. A green light on the detector front panel
indicates that the detector has power. If the power
switch is OFF, gas flow from the tank is cut off by
a special solenoid valve located at the tank.
Test the leak detector each time the motor home
is relocated and set up for use.
TESTING PROCEDURE:
* Hold a butane-fueled pocket lighter near the
sensor.
*
Open the lighter valve without striking the flame.
*
The leak detector should respond within a few
seconds.
*
Press the silence button to reset the alarm.
*
Lightly fan the area around the detector to insure
complete dispersion of the gas from the lighter,
and to prevent another sounding of the alarm.
36
A silence button allows you to temporarily quiet
the alarm for 60 seconds after it has been set off
or after testing.
If the alarm does not sound during a test or if the
green indicator light is not visible, see your dealer or
an authorized Fleetwood Service Center. There are
no batteries or user serviceable parts inside the unit.
NOTE: Remember to turn off the detector if you
are not using your motor home. The detector
draws enough current to discharge your battery.
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. It could take several seconds
or minutes for the gas to reach the appliance. To purge
some of the air from the gas system, first light a
burner on the range. The other appliances will then
light more quickly.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER'S
LIGHTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
