LP Gas System
The Liquid Propane (LP) gas system is designed
and built to rigid standards and tested before
leaving the factory. Your dealer also tests the
system prior to customer delivery.
LP gas, when properly handled, is a clean
burning, dependable fuel for all your LP gas
appliances. The LP tank or tanks mounted on
your unit contain liquid under high pressure.
The liquid vaporizes into a gas and passes
through the regulator which automatically
reduces the gas pressure. The low pressure
gas is then distributed to the appliances.
When the red ag appears in the inspection
glass this indicates that the bottle is empty.
The arrow should be turned toward other
bottle and the empty bottle should be lled
as soon as possible.

WARNING
If You Smell Gas:
1. Extinguish any open ames, pilot lights
and all smoking materials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank
valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilation
openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage
source corrected before using again.

WARNING
LP gas regulators must always be
installed with the diaphragm bent facing
downward. Regulators that are not in
compartments have been equipped with
a protective cover. Make sure that the
regulator vent faces downward and that
cover is kept in place to minimize vent
blockage which could result in excessive
gas pressure causing re or explosion.
Each tank has an automatic eighty percent
stop-ll valve that allows space in the tank
for vapor expansion. The high pressure of the
vapor in the tank is reduced in two stages
as it makes its way to your appliance. The
tank pressure will vary with temperature
and altitude, but it may be in the range of
100 to 250 pounds per square inch (psi) or
more. It is reduced by a pressure regulator
to about 12 psi in the rst stage and then to
about 6.25 ounces in the second stage. The
6.25 ounces psi can also be expressed as 11
inches of water column.

WARNING
A warning label has been located near the
LP gas container that reads: DO NOT FILL
CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT
OF CAPACITY. Overlling the LP gas container
can result in uncontrolled gas ow which
can cause re or explosion. A properly lled
container will contain approximately 80
percent of its volume as liquid LP gas. Safety
regulation prevents lling over 80 percent.

Portable fuel-burning equipment, including
wood and charcoal grills and stoves, must not
be used inside the recreational vehicle. The
use of this equipment inside the recreational
vehicle may cause res or asphyxiation.
- - - - -
Storage of LP gas containers, gasoline or other
ammable liquids inside your vehicle – even
for short periods of time – presents a risk of
re and/or explosion. All ammable liquids
should be stored safely in a well-ventilated area
outside your vehicle and in proper containers.

LP gas containers must not be placed
or stored inside the vehicle. LP gas
containers are equipped with safety
devices which relieve excessive pressure
by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
