Section 7: Fuel & Propane System
Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas piping fittings. If a leak is present, the soapy
solution will “bubble” at the leak point. If a leak is indicated, shut off the propane system
valve(s) and contact your dealer or qualified propane service representative immediately.
Using The Propane System
Use the following steps for propane operation:
1.
Close ALL burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2.
Open the main valve in the propane tank slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane vapor
through the excess flow valve causing propane “freeze-up.” Should you experience
propane “freeze-up,” close the main valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
3.
Listen carefully as propane begins to flow. If a hissing noise is heard for more than one
or two seconds, close the main valve and contact your recreation vehicle dealer to have
the propane system tested.
4.
Light the appliances as needed and directed in the appropriate appliance
manufacturer’s owner manual located in the Warranty Packet.
Keep the propane container valves closed at all times unless you are using the propane gas
system or are having the propane container filled.
Make sure that you read and fully understand ALL safety requirements for handling
and operation of the propane system.
The propane system must be handled with care. If you have any questions or concerns,
consult with your dealer and/or the specific appliance manufacturer.
If you have double cylinders on your recreation vehicle, use only one at a time. Otherwise,
the propane supply will be drawn equally from both cylinders until the supply has been
totally exhausted. Using one cylinder until it is empty, then using the second cylinder will
allow you to fill the empty cylinder at your convenience without running totally out of
propane.
Cooking With Propane Gas
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the recreation
vehicle. Proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s) will help you avoid the
danger of asphyxiation.
It is especially important that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating,
Do not turn gas range burner controls to ON and allow gas to escape
before lighting.
Do not use portable fuel burning equipment (i.e., wood and charcoal
grills or stoves) inside the recreation vehicle.
Never use an open flame to test for a propane leak.
Do not check for leaks
using products that contain ammonia or chlorine; these products can cause
cracks to form on the metal tubing and brass fittings
