LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)

WARNING

: LP gas regulators must always be installed with the dia-

phragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in compartments have

been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that regulator vent faces

downward and that cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage, which could

result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.

CAUTION

: The LPG bottles are securely mounted on the front “A” frame of your

trailer. If these bottles must be removed for service or replacement it is important

that they be reinstalled correctly in order to prevent any possibility of their falling

off or becoming dislodged during travel.

WARNING

: Your LP tanks must be filled as directed by the tank manu-

facturer. Instructions are located on a decal near the fill valve. The decal must

not be defaced.

WARNING

: Your LP tank must be, and can only be, placed in the proper

position when remounting on the front of the trailer. In any other position the

base of the tank will not fit into the recess.

WARNING

: Use only the gas bottles furnished with your trailer. If re-

placement is required it must be a bottle of the same size and design.

WARNING

: The vent at the bottom of the regulator must be kept free of

any obstructions and must be pointed downward. A good habit is to check the

vent each time a bottle is removed for filling. It is especially important to check

the vent if the trailer has not been used regularly.

Twice a year, or after a long storage period, we suggest you take your unit in for a

checkup and cleaning of the gas operated appliances.
