SAFETY REGULATIONS REGARDING LP GAS
SYSTEMS AND LP GAS APPLIANCES
The manufacturer of this recreational vehicle is required to furnish the following consumer Information as provided by
the National Fire Protection Association and the American National Standards Institute. The information and warnings
found here may also be found In other chaptersoithis Owner's Manual. Please see chaplers tilled "LP GAS SYSTEM"
and "APPLIANCES" for other safely and oparatlng Information.
WARNING
LP GAS CONTAINERS SHALL NOT BE PLACED OR STORED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. LP GAS CONTAINERS ARE
EQUIPPED WitH SAFETY DEVICES WHICH RELIEVE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BY DISCHARGING GAS TO THE
ATMOSPHERE.
WARNING
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING. COOKING APPLIANCES NEED
FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION. BEFORE OPERATION:
1. OPEN OVERHEAD VENT OR TURN ON EXHAUST FAN, AND
2. OPEN WINDOW.
THIS 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 APPLIANCE(S) WILL AVOID DANGERS OF ASPHYXIATION. 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 CHARCOAL GRILLS AND STOVES, SHALL
NOT BE USED INSIDE THIS RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. THE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT INSIDE THE RECREA-
TIONAL VEHICLE MAY CAUSE FIRES OR ASPHYXIATION.
WARNING
DO NOT BRING OR STORE LP GAS CONTAINERS, GASOLINE, OR OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS INSIDE THE
VEHICLE BECAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT.
A wamlng 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 conlalner can result In unconlrolled gas flow which can cause fire or explosion. A property filled
container will conlaln approximately 80 parcent of Its volume as liquid LP gas.
The following label has been placed In the vehicle near the range:
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Extinguish any opan flames, pilot IIghls and all smoklng malerials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Opan doors and other ventilating opanlngs.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
LP gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not In
compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that regulator vent faces downward and the cover
Is kept in place to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
