Propane Distribution Lines
The primary manifold is a black steel pipe running the length of your unit. Most secondary lines leading
to gas appliances are made of copper tubing with flare fittings. If any of the gas lines rupture, do not
attempt to splice them. Always run a new line. We recommend gas distribution work be performed by an
authorized service technician. The main valve at the Propane tank must be closed when removing or
servicing any gas appliance. This will prevent dangerous gas leakage that could result in an explosion and
possibly serious injury. If a leak is suspected, have the systems inspected and repaired by a qualified
service technician.
Precautions & Recommendations
•
Inspect the Propane fill valve for foreign materials before refueling.
•
Shut the pilot lights off prior to refueling Propane gas tanks.
•
Never check for gas leaks with an open flame (match, lighter, etc.).
•
Gas lines should be visually inspected periodically.
•
Have the gas system inspected yearly and before and after extended trips.
•
The gas system should be inspected and repaired by qualified technicians only.
WARNING
The Propane system in your recreational vehicle is designed for liquefied petroleum gas only. Never attempt
to connect natural gas or butane gas in this system.
Fire Safety
The possibility of fire exists in all areas of life, and the recreational life-style is no exception. Recreational
vehicles are complex machines. They are made up of many materials, some of which are flammable. Like
most hazards, the possibility of fire can be minimized, if not totally eliminated. This is done by
recognizing the danger and practicing common sense safety and maintenance habits. For safety reasons,
your unit is furnished with both a fire extinguisher and a smoke alarm.
Fire Extinguisher
The fire extinguisher is rated for Class B (grease, gasoline, diesel fuel, flammable liquids) and Class C
(electrical) fires. These are the most common types of fires in vehicles. Read the operator’s manual and
the instructions on the fire extinguisher. Be sure to know how and when to use the extinguisher and where
it is located.
Fire extinguishers are mechanical, pressurized devices. Care must be exercised when they are handled.
They must be maintained as the operator’s manual instructs for proper and safe operation. The
extinguisher should be inspected at least once a month. More frequent inspections may be required if the
extinguisher is exposed to the weather or to possible tampering. Do not test the extinguisher by partially
discharging. Doing this will cause a loss of pressure.
