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
