Servicing or filling
Have the recreation vehicle checked for leaks at the connections on the propane system soon
after the purchase and the initial filling of each propane cylinder. When you have a new
cylinder filled for the first time, make sure your propane supplier purges your new cylinder
of trapped air. Otherwise, an improper mixture of gas and air will make it impossible to light
your propane appliances.
Before entering a propane or fuel service station make sure all pilot lights are
extinguished. Shut off gas to all appliances by closing the propane gas main
shut off valve. Always shut OFF any engine before refueling. Do not smoke
and do not operate other ignition sources while refueling.
No one should be inside and only the qualified propane service technician should be near
the RV while the propane tank is being filled. The new propane container must be carefully
purged for best performance and must NEVER BE OVERFILLED. The following label
should be kept permanently affixed to your RV.
The position of the propane container(s) and the hoses are critical to proper operation
and propane flow. Follow these instructions to make sure your propane container(s) are
connected properly.
The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid tension or pulling stress at either
end of the hose. Keep the pigtail hose away from sharp edges of the cylinder
collar, rigid corners, walls, doors or other compartment structures including
the cover.
