bracket. Remove the LPG tank from the bracket.
Use the following procedure to install the LPG tank:
a. Before the LPG tank is installed on the lift truck,
check the operation of the fuel gauge. Look at the
fuel gauge and move the tank. If the gauge needle
does not move, a new tank must be installed.
WARNING
Make sure the alignment pin extends through the cor-
rect hole in the rim of the LPG tank. See FIGURE 23.
The hose or the fittings can be damaged if the LPG
tank is not installed in the correct position. A dam-
aged hose or fitting can release LPG fuel and cause
an explosion and fire hazard.
b. Install the LPG tank in its bracket so that the align-
ment pin is in the correct hole as shown in
FIGURE 23. Close the latch on the tank bracket.
c. Connect the quick disconnect fitting to the fuel
valve on the LPG tank. Use your hand to tighten
the fitting.
d. Turn the fuel valve counterclockwise to open the
fuel valve.
e. Inspect the fuel system for leaks when the fuel
valve is open. Frost on the surface of the tank,
valves or fittings or a strong odor of LPG fuel indi-
cates a leak.

Read and follow all the refuelling precautions and in-
structions under Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).

be in the vapor space above the liquid level. See
