Lp Gas System Check; Lp Gas Leak Detector/Alarm; Lighting Lp Gas Appliances - Fleetwood EXPEDITION User Manual

WARNING
Do not fill LP gas containers to more than 80% capac-
ity. Overfilling can result in uncontrolled gas flow which
can cause fire and explosion. A properly filled con-
tainer holds about 80% of its volume as liquid.
WARNING
Turn off LP gas main valve before filling LP gas tank
or entering an LP gas bulk plant or motor fuel service
station. Turn off all pilot lights and appliances individ-
ually before refueling of motor fuel tanks and/or LP
gas containers. When not individually turned off, auto-
matic ignition appliances may continue to spark when
LP gas is turned off at the container.
LP GAS SYSTEM CHECK
Always have the system checked by a profes-
sional any time you detect a garlic/rotten egg
like odor or hear a sustained hiss when you turn
the LP gas on.
LP GAS LEAK DETECTOR/ALARM
A permanently installed LP gas leak detector/
alarm is located near the floor. The unit contains
an alarm that will sound alerting you to the
presence of low levels of potentially dangerous
LP gas that may have accumulated.
The detector/alarm unit is powered by the 12-
volt DC system in your motor home. A green
light on the detector/alarm front panel indicates
that the detector/alarm has power.
Test the leak detector/alarm each time the motor
home is relocated and set up for use. Detailed
information for the leak detector/alarm can be
found in the Owner's Information Package.
Testing Procednre:
1. Hold a butane-fueled pocket lighter near
the sensor.
2. Open the lighter valve without striking the
flame.
3. The leak detector/alarm should respond
within a few seconds.

4. Press the silence button to reset the alarm.
5. Lightly fan the area around the detector/
alarm to insure complete dispersion of the
gas from the lighter, and to prevent
another sounding of the alarm.
6. A silence button allows you to temporarily
quiet the alarm for 60 seconds after it has
been set off or after testing.
7. 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.
~~WARNINGI
The LP gas leak detector/alarm will not function if
both battery disconnects are OFF.

NOTE
I
The detector/alarm draws enough current to dis-
charge your battery. Remember to turn off the chas-
sis and house battery disconnects if you are not using
your motor home.
LIGHTING LP GAS APPLIANCES
Detailed operating information for the LP gas
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.
The first time the furnace or oven is operated,
paints and oils used in its manufacture may gen-
erate some smoke and fumes. If this occurs,
open doors and windows to air out the motor
home. These materials should burn off after the
first 15 to 20 minutes of appliance operation.
Always follow the appliance manufacturer's
lighting, operating and maintenance instructions_
