SECTION 2

OCCUPANT SAFETY

If the alarm sounds:

•

Turn off all propane appliances (i.e.,

stove, water heater, furnace, refrigerator
etc.). Do not touch any electrical switch or
use any phone or radio in the RV.

•

Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors or

by an open door or window) and execute
your family safety plan.

•

Shut OFF the propane cylinder main shut

off valve.

•

Do not start any vehicle engine or

generator.

•

Determine and repair the source of the

leak. Do not re-enter the RV until the
problem is corrected.

If the propane alarm keeps sounding at
regular intervals, a propane leak may be
present. Contact your dealer or propane gas
service to have the problem corrected before
using the propane system again.

Testing the propane alarm

Test the alarm after each storage period,
before each trip and at least once per week
during use of the RV. If the propane alarm
does not test properly, replace it immediately.

RV storage

This propane alarm is continuously drawing a
small amount of 12-volt current. Although this
current draw is slight, it could drain your
auxiliary battery during extended storage
periods. If the auxiliary battery becomes
extremely drained, the LED light on the face
of the alarm will not light or the alarm may
begin to sound on its own. (This condition is

not likely to occur except during storage
situations.)

UEL

AFETY

For your protection and others, it is critical to
understand the danger associated with fuel.
Take time to become educated about the
property of fuel and use it safely. By nature,
fuel is highly volatile and flammable. It also
gives off vapors, which can ignite.

•

Keep gasoline out of children's sight and

reach. Children should never handle
gasoline.

•

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact

with fuel. Wash skin thoroughly with soap
and water in case of contact.

•

If you spill fuel on your clothing, always

soak the affected area with water
BEFORE you remove the clothing. Static
electricity caused when you remove
clothes could ignite clothing.

•

Remove any clothing that is wet with fuel

and allow the fuel to evaporate completely
outdoors before washing. Thoroughly
clean the affected clothing before reuse.

•

Before refueling, extinguish all smoking

materials and any open flames. Always
shut OFF the tow vehicle engine while
refueling. Always turn OFF all spark
producing appliances (i.e., stoves, water
heaters, furnaces, refrigerators, etc.).

•

Use caution when fueling. Do not get in

and out of the automobile when fueling.
Although rare, an electrical charge on
your body could spark a fire, especially
during the dry winter months.

The propane alarm should never be
disabled because of nuisance or low
battery alarms. If the auxiliary battery cable
is disconnected, and other 12-volt power is
not available, the propane alarm will not
work and you will not be warned if leaking
propane is present.

Automotive fuels can cause serious injury
or death if misused or mishandled.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH FUEL
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS COULD
RESULT IN FIRE, DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
