TROUBLESHOOTING
CORRECTION
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.
