Gas & Appliance Safety
Gas Certification
Your Caravan has been supplied gas tested and certified. Any additions or alterations to the gas
system must be performed by an authorised person and will require re-certification and testing. Also
note any alterations may affect your warranty on both the system and appliances.
General Safety
•
Your Caravan may have a number of gas safety labels affixed throughout containing
important information. All instructions are to be followed and the labels shall not be
removed for any reason.
•
Make sure to close appliance valves before opening the cylinder valves.
•
Where readily accessible, check connections at the appliances, regulator, hoses and
cylinders periodically for leaks with soapy water (or an equivalent) – this should be done
every time a cylinder is changed or at least annually.
CAUTION
– the ammonia present in some soaps and detergents can react with brass
fittings and cause such fittings to crack after a short period of time. Therefore, caution should
be exercised when using soap solutions on brass fittings and all connections should be
rinsed thoroughly with fresh water as soon as possible after the application of the soap
solution
.
•
Never use a match or flame when checking leaks.
•
Never use cooking appliances for comfort heating.
•
In the event of a fire, immediately close cylinder valve if safe to do so.
•
Appliances must not be altered without the authorisation of the manufacturer.
•
In the event of an accidental gas leak, close cylinder valve and ventilate the area using a
safe method until the air is clear.
•
Flexible hoses are used between the LP Gas Cylinder and regulator as well as between your
slide-out kitchen cooker (if fitted) and the gas bayonet. These flexible hoses are easily
accessible and shall be inspected regularly by a competent person.
Gas Cylinder Safety
•
LP Gas cylinders have a 10-year lifespan between inspection and re-certification. Always
use gas cylinders that
are within their compliance date.
•
For drawbar mounted cylinders (if applicable), orient the cylinder relief valves of both
cylinders discharge away from both the trailer and towing vehicle as shown.
•
For gas cylinders stored in a dedicated LP Gas Locker ensure the locker is kept closed at all
times unless changing or operating the cylinders.
•
Close cylinder valves when appliances are not in use or while refueling is in progress.
•
Ensure cylinder valves are closed to prevent the unintended release of gas from a cylinder.
