LPG gas requirements (225LPG)
Avant 225LPG is intended to operate with gas that
flows as vapour from the bottle, not liquid. Regular,
commonly available gas bottles that are also used for
i.e. heating, grilling etc. and used in vertical position
are correct type of gas bottles.
NOTE: The Avant 525LPG, another Avant loader
model, uses different type of gas system with
external vaporizer. This means that the gas bottles
are not interchangeable between these two loader
models.
The Avant 225LPG is intended to be
used with gas bottles that are used in
upright position and supply gas in
vapour form, not liquid.
Make sure to use correct type of gas
bottles, contact your local dealer for
more information.
The exact type of gas bottle will depend on the area
where the loader is used, but the following general
instructions and requirements apply.
When replacing a gas bottle, take the following into
account:

The loader engine is certified to operate with
commercial propane that complies with USA
standard GPA STD 2140. This standard
specifies that the maximum amount of butane is
limited to a low level. If you operate the loader in
cold climate, use LPG gas that is only propane.

Bottle must supply LPG in vapor form, not liquid.

Hose coupling must be threaded fitting, not any
quick coupling type. Hose threading must match
perfectly the hose threads. See page
27 for
standard hose fittings and typical, available fitting
options.

Overpressure valve must be fitted and in
functioning condition. Bottle itself and its valve
must be inspected periodically by qualified
technician. With bottles that are exchanged to
full ones, this is usually managed by businesses
offering exchange bottle service.

Physical dimensions of the bottle must be within
the following limits:

300 mm in diameter

700 mm height

Stainless steel, steel, and aluminium bottle
absorb heat the best. Do not use plastic /
composite bottle, they will not absorb heat from
surrounding air effectively

Larger bottles absorb more heat than smaller
ones.
