PLUMBING
LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)
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 contain-
er. 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.
