Allegro Bay Owner's Manual - Tiffin Motorhomes

DRIVING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSmaintain 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 isto be installed, removed, or serviced—this process prevents LP gas leakage which could result in a possibleharmful explosion. If the odor of LP gas (i.e., rotten eggs) is ever detected, immediately discontinue use of anygas appliances and seek the services of a qualified 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.• 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 andbefore any major trips. Should problems be noted, seek the services of a qualified service technician tomake necessary repairs and perform any maintenance.WarningThe LP gas distribution system in your motor home is designed for liquid propane (LP)gas ONLY. DO NOT attempt to connect and use any natural-gas or butane-gassystems 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 precautionand design practice to minimize or negate this possibility, but the final determination rests with the owner anduser of the motor home. Accordingly, it is in the best interests of the owners, users, and their guests to beaware of basic fire-safety practices and procedures and those particular features that Tiffin Motorhomes hasprovided for fire safety.2-8
