SAFETY
Any portable, fuel-burning equipment (e.g.,
charcoal, propane, butane, wood) must not
be used inside the motorhome. Any use of
such equipment inside the motorhome might
readily cause fires and/or asphyxiation by
carbon-monoxide poisoning. Moreover, such
unauthorized use will probably invalidate
your motorhome insurance policy.
LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS SYSTEM
Check the propane gas system for leaks yearly or as necessary. If you smell propane within the
motorhome, quickly perform the following:
Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and all smoking materials.
Do not touch electrical switches.
Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve or gas supply connection.
Open doors, windows, and other ventilating openings.
Leave the area until the odor clears.
Have the propane system checked and leakage source corrected immediately.
A failure to comply with the above guidance
could result in serious injury or death.
A WARNING label such as the following is
located near the LP gas container.
Any overfilling of the LP gas containers can
result in uncontrolled gas flow—a prime
condition for a fire or explosion.
DO NOT FILL the LP container to more than
80 percent of capacity.
The LP container (Figure 2-3) must be filled to
only 80 percent of its capacity; the remainder of the cylinder space is an air space to contain expansion of
the liquid when subjected to varying ambient-temperature conditions.
