-Do not smoke, or use an open flame near the propane gas system.

-Do not use an open flame to examine for leaks.

-Do not connect the refrigerator to the gas tank without a pressure regulator between them.

-To avoid possible propane gas leaks, always use two wrenches to tighten or loosen the gas supply line connections.

-Leaking propane gas can ignite or explode and result in dangerous personal injury or death.

Connect the gas supply line to the refrigerator:

-Make sure all tubing and fittings obey all local, state, and national codes about size and type.

-Make sure that all flexible metal connectors obey the current CAN 1-6.10 Standard.

-Use 3/8” diameter copper tubing as the gas supply line and use a 3/8” SAE (UNF5/8 -18) female flare fitting as the connection to the refrigerator.

-Put the gas supply line up through the floor of the enclosure and in a manner to prevent vibration and abrasion.

-Make sure the hole through the floor is large enough to allow clearance for the gas supply line.

-Put a weather resistant seal (grommets, sealant, etc.) around the gas supply line where it goes through the floor to prevent vibration and abrasion.

-Attach the gas supply line to the bulkhead fitting [2] of the refrigerator (See Art01035).

Examine the gas supply system for leaks:

WARNING: Do not allow the leak detecting solution to touch the electrical components. Many liquids are

electrically conductive and can cause a shock hazard, electrical shorts, and in some cases fire.

Using a solution of liquid detergent and water, make sure the gas supply line and all gas connections have no leaks. Do not use any liquid that contains ammonia.

If you use compressed air for the test:

-The pressure of the compressed air at the manual shutoff valve of the refrigerator must not be more than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column).

-If the pressure of the compressed air is more than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column), remove the gas supply line from the manual shutoff valve of the refrigerator before the test.

-If the pressure of the compressed air is equal to or less than 1/2 psig (14 inches Water Column), close the manual shutoff valve of the refrigerator before the test.
