RE-INSTALLING THE PROPANE
TANKS
NOTE: The propane tank should be installed on
the unit so that the fuel shut-off valve and fuel level
gauge are pointing toward the rear of the machine by
the rear bumper.
1. Position the propane tank so that the tank
positioning bracket (C, Figure 1) fits into the slots
located on either side of the center slot.
2. Connect the fuel supply hose fitting (B) to the
tank. Turn the fuel supply hose fitting to the left to
tighten the fuel supply hose fitting.
3. Tighten the propane tank straps (A, Figure 2) that
secures the propane tank to the machine.
NOTE: The length of the propane tank straps are
adjustable. If the propane tank straps do not firmly
secure the propane tank in place, unclasp the
propane tanks straps, turn the handles clockwise and
then reclaps the propane tank brackets. Continue
this process until the propane tank straps hold the
tank firmly in place. DO NOT operate the machine
with a propane tank that is not firmly secured into
place.
NOTE: Wait until you are ready to start the machine
before re-opening the fuel shut off valve (A, Figure 1).
INITIAL FILL OF A NEW PROPANE
TANK
A new propane tank that has never been filled with
propane requires special procedures to properly
purge the tank of air and fill for the first time. Refer
to the instructions on the propane tank and fill only at
an approved propane dealer following the procedures
and specifications on the tank.
EXCESS FLOW VALVE
The propane tanks on this unit are equipped with
excess flow valves which will close if the flow of
propane exceeds a specified rate.
Conditions that will cause the excess flow valves to
close are:
a) If a component of the propane system suffers
significant damage, allowing the mass escape of
propane.
b) If one propane tank is empty and the fuel shut-off
valve is not closed before opening the fuel shut-off
valve on the full tank. This causes the propane
to quickly flow from the full tank to the empty tank
until both tanks are at the same level.
