When an LP tank gets low, sometimes there is a concentration of garlic-like odor which
may be mistaken for a gas leak. After a change over to a full tank, the odor usually will
disappear. If not, turn off the LP containers and have the system checked by a qualified
technician.

A warning label has been located near the LP gas container. This label reads:

WARNING
THIS GAS PIPING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR USE OF
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT
N A T U R A L G A S T O T H I S S Y S T E M . D O N O T F I L L
CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR
PERSONAL INJURY. Securely cap inlet(s) when not connected
for use. After turning on gas, except after normal container
replacement, test gas piping and connections to appliances for
leakage with soapy water or bubble solution. Do not use
products that contain ammonia or chlorine.

Supplied with your travel trailer is information that applies to the Type 1 ACME LP Gas
Connection on your LP gas tank(s). Please read all information contained in the supplied
literature.
The following instructions will supply information for correct cylinder/valve orientation,
regulator placement, hose length, hose routing and cylinder cover placement. Make sure
these steps are followed for proper LP gas connections.
DUAL CYLINDER ASSEMBLY WITH BOTTLE RACK
ON A-FRAME OR FRONT TRUNK (FIG. 4-7 & 4-8)
1. Connect the 3/8” low-pressure hose to the outlet of the two-stage regulator.
2. Place the cylinders on the bracket provided on the A-frame and secure them so the
outlet of the cylinder valves point outward from the front of the travel trailer.
3. Using the threaded center rod, position the regulator bracket. This centers the
regulator between the two cylinders as they are secured to the base tray.
4. Attach the inverted flare x 11” Type-1 pigtail hose to the regulator inlet and the right
hand swivel nut to the cylinder valve.
1
WARNING: The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid tension or
pulling stress at either end of the hose.
1
WARNING: Keep the pigtail hose away from sharp edges of the
cylinder collar, rigid corners, walls, doors or other compartment struc-
tures including the cover.
NOTE
: The regulator is typically installed with the inlet fittings at the same level as
the cylinder outlet valves. Due to the bracket design, wing nut clearance or
cover restrictions, the regulator fittings may not be in perfect alignment with
the cylinder valves. A variance of two (2) inches above or below the line will
permit the hoses to be properly installed.
Main Supply Hose
The main supply hose will be attached from the regulator to the brass manifold fitting in
the frame of the travel trailer. Swivel brass nut on the main hose will be your final
attachment. There are several things to remember each time the LP gas container is
removed:
1. Check that ALL fittings are tight.
2. Ensure that ALL connections are tested with leak solution.
3. Open the main valve slowly to avoid fast rush of gas to excess flow valve causing
gas freeze up. If you experience a gas “freeze-up,” close the main valve and wait
fifteen minutes before trying again.
4. Listen carefully - a “hissing” sound longer than one second may indicate a gas leak.
Close the valve and search for the leak.
ALL GAS LINES HAVE BEEN CHECKED WITH AIR
PRESSURE. DEALERS ARE REQUIRED TO RECHECK AND
ADJUST PRESSURE BEFORE DELIVERY TO CUSTOMERS.
