TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 2 DRIVING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSWarningWhen the motor home is not in use, be sure to close the main LP gas valve at thetank. When the LP gas tank is to be refilled, close the main valve to preclude thechance of the pilot lights possibly igniting fumes from the LP fuel. As some LP-gasappliances (e.g., refrigerator, furnace, water heater) have Direct Spark Ignition (DSI)systems, it is very important that these appliances be turned “off” when the LP gasis “off.” The DSI boards will continue to work (i.e., generate an ignition spark) evenwhen there is no LP gas available.LP Gas RegulatorThe LP gas regulator (Figure 2-4, center of picture) is the most critical element of the LP-gas distribution system.The regulator converts the high-pressure LP gas from the tank into a reduced-pressure LP-gas supply suitable for usein the various appliances in the motor home. One should regularly inspectvisually the regulator system. If any damage or corrosion is noted, contact anauthorized service technician to inspect and repair or replace the regulator.Do not attempt to adjust the regulator yourself; the regulator has been pre-setat the factory. Only a qualified LP service technician using specializedequipment should adjust the regulator.LP Distribution SystemFigure 2-6. LP Gas RegulatorThe primary LP distribution system in the motor home is a black, steel pipe manifold running the length of themotor home. The secondary distribution lines running from this main distribution system are usually coppertubing with flare fittings. If any of the gas lines break, do not attempt to splice them—always run new lines tomaintain the safety of the motor home. It is strongly recommended that only qualified service techniciansperform this work.Remember, the main valve at the LP gas tank must be closed whenever any gas appliance is to be installed, removed,or serviced—this process prevents LP gas leakage which could result in a possible harmful explosion. If the odor of LPgas (e.g., rotten eggs) is ever detected, immediately discontinue use of any gas appliances and seek the services of aqualified service technician.Recommended Precautionary PracticesThe following practices are recommended to assure continued safety and reliability of the LP gas system; theseare, of course, representative; not necessarily exhaustive. In all cases, use common good sense in the use of theLP system.2-8
TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 2 DRIVING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS• Visually inspect the LP fill valve before any refueling operation to look for foreign materials or debris; remove,as necessary, to assure a leak-tight connection.• Prior to any re-fueling operation of the LP gas system, shut off all the pilot lights.• NEVER, under any circumstances, check for LP gas leaks with any type of open flame; doing so wouldprobably cause an explosion and subsequent fire.• Periodically inspect visually the entire LP gas distribution system; do so at least semi-annually and before anymajor trips. Should problems be noted, seek the services of a qualified service technician to make necessaryrepairs and perform any maintenance.WarningThe LP gas distribution system in your motor home is designed forliquid propane (LP) gas ONLY. DO NOT attempt to connect and use anynatural-gas or butane-gas systems with this LP gas system.Fire SafetyAs with any enclosed system containing the three required conditions for fire (i.e., combustible materials, oxygen,ignition sources), there will exist the possibility of fire. Tiffin Motorhomes has taken every precaution and designpractice to minimize or negate this possibility, but the final determination rests with the owner and user of the motorhome. Accordingly, it is in the best interests of the owners, users, and their guests to be aware of basic fire-safetypractices and procedures and those particular features that Tiffin Motorhomes has provided for fire safety.Fire ExtinguisherThe Allegro RED is equipped with a fire extinguisher (located on the passenger’s console, see Figure2-5) rated for both Class B (i.e., grease, gasoline, diesel fuel, flammable liquids) and Class C (i.e.,electrical) services—these are typically the most likely types of fires to be expected in motor homes.Read and understand the accompanying owner’s manual on that extinguisher (found in your Owner’sInformation Package) and remember the location of the extinguisher. In an emergency, you won’t havethe time or presence of mind to do so then. You may wish to purchase other extinguisher(s) [e.g., forthe rear interior, around the generator outside; etc.] at your discretion.These types of fire extinguishers are pressurized, mechanical devices and require that appropriatecare be used in their safe storage and use. The owner’s manual will provide necessary guidancefor the proper storage, handling, and use of the extinguishers. Prudent preventive maintenancesuggests monthly inspection of any fire extinguisher to assure that it is sufficiently pressurized(i.e., the needle on the gauge is in the “normal” zone) and that the mechanical componentsare not blocked in any way.Figure 2-7.FireExtinguisher2-9
