LPG SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
You may have purchased as an option
with your 43MY an optional LPG Cooking
System. This system is manufactured by
Seaward Products. The purpose of this
option is to give an alternative to electric
cooking in your boat.
Open flame appliances consume oxy-
gen. This can cause asphyxiation or
death. Maintain open ventilation. Do
not use this appliance for comfort
heating.
It is recommended that every time the
LPG tank valve is opened for use, the
operator close the valve and watch that
the gauge needle remain constant. If
leaks occur, repair the leak. If the leak
cannot be repaired, DO NOT operate the
appliance.
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and
warm detergent solution is generally
enough to keep your cooktop clean and
beautiful. This is done when the cooktop
is cool. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to
clean splatters and spills when surfaces
are warm.
Due to the nature of LPG gas it is neces-
sary to discuss safety items associated
with the operation this system.
1) This system is designed for use with
Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG) only. Do
not connect Compressed Natural
Gas(CNG) to this system.
2) Keep cylinder valves and solenoid
valves closed when boat is unattended.
Close them immediately in any emer-
gency. When on board, cylinder valves
and solenoid valves shall be closed when
appliances are not in use. Keep empty
cylinder valves closed tightly. Keep protec-
tive covers caps or plugs in place.
3) Close appliance valves before opening
cylinder valves.
4) Test for system leakage each time the
cylinder supply valve is opened for appli-
ance use. Close all appliance valves.
Open then close cylinder supply valve.
Observe pressure gauge at the regulating
device and see that it remains constant for
not less than three minutes before any
appliance is used. If any leakage is evi-
denced by a pressure drop, check system
with a leak detection fluid or detergent
solution which does not contain ammonia
and repair before operating system.
NOTE: Ammonia, which is present in
some soaps and detergents, attacks brass
fittings. Undetectable at first, in a matter of
months, these fittings may develop cracks
and leaks.
NEVER USE FLAME TO CHECK FOR
LEAKS!
5) Do not obstruct quick access to LPG
system components in any way.
6) Do not use LPG cylinder housing for
storage of any other equipment.
