IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

33598-6-0115Page 4
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the
odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must nd out if you
can smell the odorant in propane.Smokingcandecreaseyour
abilitytosmell.Beingaroundanodorforatimecanaffectyour
sensitivityorabilitytodetectthatodor.Sometimesotherodorsin
theareamaskthegasodor.Peoplemaynotsmellthegasodor
ortheirmindsareonsomethingelse.Thinkingaboutsmellinga
gasodorcanmakeiteasiertosmell.
The odorant in LP-Gas is colorless, and it can fade under
some circumstances.Forexample,ifthereisanunderground
leak,themovementofthegasthroughsoilcanltertheodorant.
OdorantsinLP-Gasalsoaresubjecttooxidation.Thisfadingcan
occurifthereisrustinsidethestoragetankorinirongaspipes.
Theodorantinescapedgascanadsorborabsorbontoorintowalls,
masonryandothermaterialsandfabricsinaroom.Thatwilltake
someoftheodorantoutofthegas,reducingitsodorintensity.
LP-Gasmaystratifyinaclosedarea,andtheodorintensitycould
varyatdifferentlevels.Sinceitisheavierthanair,theremaybe
moreodoratlowerlevels.Alwaysbesensitivetotheslightestgas
odor.Ifyoudetectanyodor,treatitasaseriousleak.Immediately
gointoactionasinstructedearlier.
Propane (LP-Gas) is a ammable gas which can cause res
and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and
colorless. You may not know all the following safety precautions
which can protect both you and your family from an accident.
Read them carefully now, then review them point by point
with the members of your household. Someday when there
may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will depend
on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading the following
information, you feel you still need more information, please
contact your gas supplier.
• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-Gas. Your local LP-Gas
Dealercangiveyoua“ScratchandSniff”pamphlet.Useitto
ndoutwhatthepropaneodorsmellslike.Ifyoususpectthat
yourLP-Gashasaweakorabnormalodor,callyourLP-Gas
Dealer.
• Ifyouarenotqualied,donotlightpilotlights,performservice,
ormakeadjustmentstoappliancesontheLP-Gassystem.If
youarequalied,consciouslythinkabouttheodorofLP-Gas
priortoandwhilelightingpilotlightsorperformingserviceor
makingadjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smellthatcancoveruptheLP-Gasodor.Donottrytolight
pilotlights,performservice,ormakeadjustmentsinanarea
wheretheconditionsaresuchthatyoumaynotdetecttheodor
iftherehasbeenaleakofLP-Gas.
• Odorfade,duetooxidationbyrustoradsorptiononwallsof
newcylindersandtanks,ispossible.Therefore,peopleshould
beparticularlyalertandcarefulwhennewtanksorcylinders
areplacedinservice.Odorfadecanoccurinnewtanks,or
reinstalledoldtanks,iftheyarelledandallowedtosettoo
longbeforerelling.Cylindersandtankswhichhavebeenout
ofserviceforatimemaydevelopinternalrustwhichwillcause
odorfade.Ifsuchconditionsaresuspectedtoexist,aperiodic
snifftestofthegasisadvisable.If you have any question
about the gas odor, call your LP-Gas dealer. A periodic
sniff test of the LP-Gas is a good safety measure under
any condition.
• If,atanytime,youdonotsmelltheLP-Gasodorantandyou
thinkyoushould,assumeyouhavealeak.Thentakethesame
immediateactionrecommendedabovefortheoccasionwhen
youdodetecttheodorizedLP-Gas.
• Ifyouexperienceacomplete“gasout,”(thecontainerisunder
novaporpressure),turnthetankvalveoffimmediately.Ifthe
containervalveislefton,thecontainermaydrawinsomeair
throughopeningssuchaspilotlightorices.Ifthisoccurs,some
newinternalrustingcouldoccur.Ifthevalveisleftopen,then
treatthecontainerasanewtank.Alwaysbesureyourcon-
tainerisundervaporpressurebyturningitoffatthecontainer
beforeitgoescompletelyemptyorhavingitrelledbeforeitis
completelyempty.
• Donotoperateelectricswitches,lightmatches,useyourphone.
Donotdoanythingthatcouldignitethegas.
• Geteveryoneoutofthebuilding,vehicle,trailer,orarea.Do
thatIMMEDIATELY.
• Closeallgastankorcylindersupplyvalves.
• LP-Gasisheavierthanairandmaysettleinlowareassuchas
basements.Whenyouhavereasontosuspectagasleak,keep
outofbasementsandotherlowareas.Stayoutuntilreghters
declarethemtobesafe.
• Useyourneighbor’sphoneandcallatrainedLP-Gasservice
person and the re department. Even though you may not
continuetosmellgas,donotturn onthegasagain.Donot
re-enterthebuilding,vehicle,trailer,orarea.
• Finally,lettheservicemanandreghterscheckforescaped
gas.Havethemairouttheareabeforeyoureturn.Properly
trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then
checkandrelightthegasapplianceforyou.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.
That’s your signal to go into immediate action!

Installing a New Main Gas Cock
Eachapplianceshouldhaveitsownmanualgascock.
Amanualmaingascockshouldbelocatedinthevicinityoftheunit.
Wherenoneexists,orwhereitssizeorlocationisnotadequate,
contactyourlocalauthorizedinstallerforinstallationorrelocation.
Compoundsusedonthreadedjointsofgaspipingshallberesistant
totheactionofliqueedpetroleumgases.Thegaslinesmustbe
checkedforleaksbytheinstaller.Thisshouldbedonewithasoap
solutionwatchingforbubblesonallexposedconnections,andif
unexposed,apressuretestshouldbemade.
Never use an exposed ame to check for leaks. Appliance must
be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and pipe
capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test with
appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!
NOTE:Thegascontrolsareequippedwithacapturedscrewtype
pressuretestpoint,thereforeitisnotnecessarytoprovidea1/8in.
testpointupstreamofthecontrol.
Whenusingcopperorexconnectoruseonlyapprovedttings.
Theapplianceanditsindividualshutoffvalvemustbedisconnected
fromsupplypipingsystemduringanypressuretestingofthatsystem
attestpressuresinexcessof1/2psig(3.5kPa).

Checking Manifold Pressures
Both Propane and Natural gas valves have a built-in pressure
