Propane Regulator
The regulator acts as the heart for the Propane gas system. The Propane gas in
the tank is under high pressure. The regulator reduces the pressure of this gas
so that it is safe to use with the various appliances in your unit. If corrosion is
noticed, contact a qualified Propane gas service technician. Do not adjust the
regulator. It is factory preset. Adjustments are to be made by a qualified
Propane service technician using specialized equipment. Propane gas
regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward.
Regulators that are not in compartments have been equipped with a protective
cover. Make sure that the regulator vent faces downward and that the cover is
kept in place to minimize the vent blockage that could result in excessive gas
pressure causing fire or explosion.
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.
WARNING
Shut off the main gas valve at the tank when the camping vehicle is not in use.
Also, shut off the valve when refueling to avoid potential danger from pilot lights
igniting fuel fumes. Some appliances, such as the refrigerator, water heater, and
furnace, have DSI (direct spark ignition) boards so it is important that you turn
the appliances off when the Propane gas is off. The ignition in the appliances
will continue to spark even if there is no Propane gas available.
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, etc.).
