WARNING
NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH AN
OPEN FLAME. DO NOT CHECK COPPER
PLUMBING LINES FOR LEAKS USING
AMMON IATED HOUSE-HO LD-TYPE DE-
TERGENTS BECAUSE THESE CAN CAUSE
CRACKS TO FORM ON THE LINE AND
BRASS FITTINGS.
IF
THE LEAK CANNOT
BE LOCATED, TAKE THE UNIT TO AN
LP GAS SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.
vide LP gas to appliances, first open the shutoff valve all the
way (counter-clockwise) then close it two-thirds of a turn.
When all LP gas systems are not in use, close the valve all the
way.
FILLING THE LP GAS TANK
Drive the vehicle to an LP gas supplier or one of the service
stations which sell Petroleum, Bottled and Bulk, in your
classified directory or refer to the service directory available
at your dealer. The LP gas tank should never be filled above
80% of its capacity. For additional information, refer to
instructions for your gas appliances provided in your Owner's
I nformation Kit.
LP GAS SYSTEM LEAK CHECKS
For your safety, check for leaks in your gas system each
time the tank is filled or before each trip. Always check the
system any time the odor of LP gas is detected. To perform
a leak check, open the tank valve and spread a NON-
AMMONIATED, NON-CHLORINATED TYPE (i.e. castile,
etc.) soap-bubble solution over all connections. Escaping
gas will create bubbles to show the location of any leak.
Keep the tank valve closed and turn OFF all appliances if
the unit is not being used.
Save LP fuel by turning off pilots of
unneeded appl iances if your travel is over
a couple of hours.
