2006 Mandalay Motorhome Owners Manual - Thor Motor Coach

IDENTIFICATION & SAFETY
NOTE: The LP Gas Detector enters a cleaning and initializing mode every time it is
powered. If turned OFF for less than 15 minutes, the LP Gas Leak Detector may produce
several short “chirps” within the first 80 seconds of operation. This is a normal function of the
LP Gas Detector.
Service
See your Mandalay Luxury Division Dealer or a qualified LP Gas Service Center should
service be required. If they are not familiar with this product, have them call the detector
manufacturer for assistance. If service is not available in your area, call MTI Industries.
LP Gas Safety Precautions
DO NOT store LP Gas containers inside the motorhome. LP Gas containers are equipped
with safety devices which relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas to the
atmosphere.
If you smell gas:
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking materials.
2. DO NOT touch any electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open all doors and other ventilating openings. (DO NOT USE THE RANGE HOOD).
5. Leave the area until the odor clears.
6. Have the system checked by a trained professional before using again.
Be careful when doing any work or maintenance in the motorhome, that you do not puncture a
gas line with a nail, screw, or drill bit.
Warning labels and decal's are used throughout the motorhome in locations where the
potential for a dangerous situation is present. They have been installed not only because of the
requirement to do so, but also as a constant reminder to occupants of the motorhome to
exercise proper caution when using or being around LP Gas appliances and equipment. Make
sure that you and your family understand and follow all of them. Never remove these warning
labels and decal's. If one should be lost, it should be replaced as soon as possible.
