GAS SYSTEM
SAFELY OPERATE YOUR GAS SYSTEM
The OPUS is ed with a mount for one 20lb. Gas bole. This bole is to be connected to a gas regulator and turned o when
the gas is not in use.
STEP 1. To install a gas cylinder, place the gas bole in the holder and use the provided clamp to hold the cylinder in place.
Adjust the t if necessary by turning the threaded triangle bolt. Ensure that you have the correct gas hose to connect the gas
cylinder to the xed gas regulator; your OP15 comes with a regulator-to-gas bole pigtail hose which should be compable
with most US standard propane boles.
STEP 2. Once connected to the propane bole, the gas tap/valve on the top of the gas bole can now be opened.
STEP 3. To connect the gas system on the kitchen; stowed under the sink there is a gas hose ed to the stove that has a
quick connect on the other end. Thread the gas hose through the aperture under the kitchen and connect to the gas quick
connect on the side of the OP4. Turn on the gas tap on the gas quick connect on the side of the OP4 by turning 90° so that it
is parallel with the xture.
STEP 4. To operate the gas stove; li up the stainless steel lid, turn on one of the burners (push in, turn and hold to ignite).
Keep pressing the buon unl the gas has had me to ll up the system and the burner will ignite. You may need to hold the
buon in for up to 10 seconds before ignion to overcome the accidental ignion safety precauon in-built in the hob. Do
NOT lean across the burners to reach the stove controls. When the stove is not in use, please ensure the gas is turned o at
the quick connect valve on the side of the OP4 and at the gas bole.
STEP 5. Ensure that the gas bole valve is closed prior to packing up the OP4 for transit or storage, the quick connect valve
on the side of the OP4 has been closed and that the gas hose has been disconnected from the side of the OPUS and carefully
stowed inside the kitchen. Please make sure that the gas hose is fully inserted into the kitchen before sliding the kitchen into
the storage compartment. Failure to do so can lead to the gas hose geng caught in the runners which can lead to damage.
The gas outlet on the driver’s side is designed to run a gas hot water shower available as an oponal extra. Please refer to the
Water System secon of this instrucon manual for further informaon about this appliance.
Do not use any other gas systems than those provided with the OP15. Always turn o the shut o valve
IMMEDIATELY aer use.
PROPANE (LP) / CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) DETECTOR
Your OP4 comes ed with a propane (LP) / Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector installed i, direct wired to the baery. Please
read the user manual supplied for the detector to fully understand correct usage. If the Propane or Carbon Dioxide warning
alarm sounds, evacuate the trailer immediately and, if safe to do so, close o and fully disconnect the propane tanks. Do not
touch any electrical switches. . Follow proper and safe steps to venlate the trailer and await for the alarm to stop before
returning to the trailer then disconnect the 120v shore power connecon and turn o the 12volt power. If a propane leak is
suspected fully disconnect the propane tanks and make an appointment to have your OP15 serviced with your dealership.
Do not use any other gas systems than those provided with the OP4. Always turn o the shut o valve IMMEDIATELY aer
use.
WARNING! DO NOT PLACE PROPANE CYLINDERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. PROPANE CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH
SAFETY DEVICES THAT RELIEVE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BY DISCHARGING PROPANE TO THE ATMOSPHERE. PROPANE
GAS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. CAN LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
DANGER! DO NOT USE GAS COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING. CAN LEAD TO CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING, WHICH CAN LEAD TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING! GAS COOKING APPLIANCES NEED FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION: BEFORE OPERATING: OPEN
VENTS OR WINDOWS SLIGHTLY OR TURN ON EXHAUST FAN PRIOR TO USING COOKING APPLIANCES. GAS FLAMES
CONSUME OXYGEN, WHICH SHOULD BE REPLACED TO ENSURE PROPER COMBUSTION. IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT
IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING! DO NOT FILL PROPANE CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY. A PROPERLY FILLED
CONTAINER CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 80 PERCENT OF ITS VOLUME AS LIQUID PROPANE. OVERFILLING PROPANE
CONTAINER(S) CAN RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED PROPANE FLOW, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
AND RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
DANGER! IF YOU SMELL PROPANE:
1. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES AND ALL SMOKING MATERIALS.
2. SHUT OFF THE PROPANE SUPPLY AT THE CONTAINER VALVE(S) OR PROPANE SUPPLY CONNECTION.
3. DO NOT TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES.
4. OPEN DOORS AND OTHER VENTILATING OPENINGS.
5. LEAVE THE AREA UNTIL THE ODOR CLEARS. 6. HAVE PROPANE SYSTEM CHECKED AND LEAKAGE SOURCE
CORRECTED BEFORE USING AGAIN.
IGNITION OF FLAMMABLE VAPORS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
WARNING! WHEN USING THE OUTDOOR COOKING AREA, THE VEHICLE MUST BE LEVEL AND STABILIZED. DO NOT
VIOLATE MANUFACTURERS’ INSTRUCTIONS ON REQUIRED CLEARANCES FOR COOKING APPLIANCES DURING USE.
DO NOT STORE COOKING APPLIANCES UNTIL COOL TO THE TOUCH. CAN LEAF TO A FIRE AND EXPLOSION AND
RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
DANGER! GAS FUMES INSIDE A CAMPER TRAILER COULD RESULT IN UNCONSCIOUSNESS, BRAIN DAMAGE OR EVEN
DEATH. FOLLOW SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURE WITH GAS AT ALL TIMES: ENSURE GOOD VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES.
DANGER! CHECK THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT FITMENT AND SAFE USE WITH THE GAS CYLINDER
MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER.
DANGER! ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE GAS CYLINDER RETAINING STRAPS ARE FITTED WHENEVER A GAS CYLINDER IS
INSTALLED IN THE FRONT LOCKER COMPARTMENT, EVEN WHEN THE OPUS® IS STATIONARY.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE CONSULT THE OPUS TEAM BEFORE COMPLETING ANY REPAIR WORK ON THE GAS SYSTEM:
THE PROPANE SYSTEM INSTALLED INCLUDES A 2-STAGE REGULATOR. THE REGULATOR MUST ALWAYS BE INSTALLED
WITH THE VENT FACING DOWNWARDS.
THE REGULATOR IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT OF THE OP14. ENSURE THAT THE VENT FOR THE REGULATOR IS NOT
OBSTRUCTED AS BLOCKAGES COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE PROPANE PRESSURE CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION
THE PROPANE SYSTEM OF THE CAMPER IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH THE SUPPLIED STOVE ONLY; DO NOT USE ANY
OTHER GAS APPLIANCE WITH IT. THE PROPANE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH PROPANE ONLY. DO NOT USE
OTHER FORMS OF GAS.
PORTABLE FUEL-BURNING EQUIPMENT INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WOOD & CHARCOAL GRILLS AND STOVES
SHALL NOT BE USED INSIDE THE CAMPER DUE TO RISK OF FIRE OR ASPHYXIATION
