TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
Propane fuel smell
Poor performance or engine stalling on
Propane
28 | Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment, LLC
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Fuel regulator or fuel hose and fittings not securely
sealed.
Propane fuel regulator vent active.
Residual fuel from the carburetor dispersing after
operation.
Propane fuel line kinked or crushed.
Fuel selector valve not properly positioned.
Gasoline not purged from the carburetor before
switching to propane.
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.
