Plumbing

Warning: Your LP tanks must be filled as directed by the tank manu- facturer. Instructions are located on a decal near the fill valve. The decal must not be defaced.

Warning: Your LP tank must be, and can only be, placed in the proper position when remounting on the front of the trailer. In any other position the base of the tank will not fit into the recess.

Warning: Use only the gas bottles furnished with your trailer. If re- placement is required it must be a bottle of the same size and design.

Warning: The vent at the bottom of the regulator must be kept free of any obstructions and must be pointed downward. A good habit is to check the F vent each time a bottle is removed for filling. It is especially important to check

the vent if the trailer has not been used regularly.

Twice a year, or after a long storage period, we suggest you take your unit in for a checkup and cleaning of the gas operated appliances.

BASIC RULES FOR SAFETY

Warning: Do not store LP containers within a vehicle. LP containers are equipped with safety devices that vent gas should the pressure become excessive.

Warning: Do not use cooking appliances for comfort heating. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operation open an overhead vent or turn on an exhaust fan and open a window.

A warning label has been located in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the recreational vehicle; and, proper ventilation when using the cooking appliances will avoid dangers of asphyxia- tion. It is especially important that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating as the danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time.

Warning: Portable fuel burning equipment, including wood and char- coal grills and stoves, shall not be used inside the recreational vehicle. The use of this equipment inside the recreational vehicle may cause fires or asphyxiation.

Warning: A warning label has been located near the LP gas container. This label reads: DO NOT FILL CONTAINER (S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.

Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas flow, which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled container will contain approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid LP gas.

Warning: Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a fire or explosion may result.

Warning: IF YOU SMELL GAS:

1.Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking materials.

2.Do not touch electrical switches.

3.Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection

4.Open doors and other ventilating openings.

5.Leave the area until odor clears.

6.Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
