Fuel regulator or fuel hose and fittings not securely
sealed.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CORRECTION
Providing all the propane fuel handling equipment is
functioning normally, no correction is needed.
If you suspect your propane fuel tank is not equipped
with an OPD device, discontinue operation immediately
and replace the propane fuel tank with a propane tank
equipped with a an OPD.
If you suspect your propane fuel tank has been
overfilled, discontinue operation immediately and
return the propane fuel tank to the place of purchase or
refilling.
Using a soap solution check each connection and
tighten as needed.
The propane fuel regulator is equipped with a vent
that will allow a small amount of propane fuel vapor to
escape from the regulator when the propane tank valve
is opened. This can be normal providing the venting of
the propane is brief. If you suspect that this is abnormal,
immediately discontinue use and have the propane
regulator inspected by a qualified technician.
Normal, no correction is needed.
Inspect propane fuel line and remove kinks or other
obstructions.
Rotate the fuel valve fully until the pointer is directly in
line with the desired fuel.
Close the propane fuel tank valve. Move the fuel
selector switch to gas. Start the engine and allow the
engine to run until the gasoline has been consumed in
the carburetor. Begin propane start up procedure.
