• For Standard LP-Gas Tank

1. Park the lift truck on level ground with the forks lowered until the fork tips touch the floor, parking brake applied, direction lever in the neutral position and engine running at low idle. 2. Close the fuel valve on the LP-Gas tank.

Run the engine until it stops, then turn the key switch to the (OFF) position. 3. Disconnect the fuel supply line. 4. Loosen the retaining clamps, and remove the tank. 5. Make sure the replacement tank is of the correct type. 6. Inspect the replacement tank for damage such as dents, scrapes or gouges and for leakage at valves or threaded connections. 7. Check for debris in the relief valve and for damage to various valves and the liquid level gauge. 8. Inspect the couplings for deterioration, damage or missing flexible seals. 9. When lifting the tank for mounting, hold by both hands to prevent injury, and check the tank clamp lock. 10. Clamp the tank securely. 11. Connect the fuel supply line. 12. Open the fuel valve by turning it slowly counterclockwise. If the fuel valve is opened too quickly, a back pressure check valve will shut off the fuel supply. If this happens, close the fuel valve completely, wait five seconds, and then open the fuel valve very slowly.

13. Check the LP-Gas fuel lines and fittings with a soap solution after filling the tank or when looking for leaks.
