Filling Propane Cylinders
To fill storage cylinders, the cylinders must be removed from the trailer and taken to a Propane
supplier or one of the service stations which sell Propane. Do not attempt to fill the Propane tank
yourself.

Warning
Do not fill Propane containers to more than 80% capacity. Failure to comply could result
in death or serious injury. Over filling can result in uncontrolled Propane flow which can
cause fire and explosion. A properly filled container holds about 80% of its volume as
liquid.
1. Remove the Propane cylinder cover (if equipped). Close the supply valve on the
empty cylinder.
2. Switch cylinder selector lever to the full cylinder.
3. Disconnect the quick connect hose fitting at the valve. Turn it to the left to
loosen.
4. Be sure the plastic cap is cleaned and install it over the cylinder valve outlet. This will
help protect the valve fitting threads and will prevent contamination or debris from
entering the valve during transportation to a Propane service facility.
5. Loosen the wing nut on the threaded rod. It should be loosened just enough to allow
the hold down bracket to clear the empty cylinder.
6. Remove the empty cylinder. (Do Not Move The Trailer With The Empty Tank
Removed And The Hold Down Bracket Loose) and have it filled.
7. Reverse the procedure to replace cylinder.

Warning
Never check for leaks with an open flame. Do not check copper and brass plumbing lines
and fittings for leaks using ammoniated or chlorinated household type detergents. These
can cause cracks to form on the line and brass fittings. If the leak cannot be located, take
the trailer to a Propane service representative.
