Regulator installation
Comply with the following recommendations when installing:
·
the Regulator must be installed in the engine compartment;
·
it must be firmly fixed to the bodywork with M10 screws;
·
it must be positioned parallel to the advancement direction, see fig. 185;
·
position the unit so that it can be easily accessed for adjustments and maintenance operations;
·
set it in a lower position than the level of the water in the radiator;
·
the bleed plug of the regulator must not be above the ignition coil;
·
position the unit as near as possible to the place where the mixer will be installed;
·
clean the LPG ducts before they are connected to the regulator to prevent impurities from penetrating the regulator body;
·
check to make sure that when the engine is running, there are no leaks from the water pipes (the water pipes are generally
connected to the heating circuit of the passenger compartment);
·
make sure that the thermostat operates correctly, checking that the regulator/atomizer heats quickly.
Whenever the engine cooling circuit is emptied, the level of the coolant fluid must be topped up. Take care to
completely eliminate any air bubbles that could prevent the regulator from heating.
The gas outlet must point upwards. It should be connected to the mixer by means of a tube, taking care to prevent curves and
pockets from forming as far as possible .
The water outlet is normally in the upper part of the regulator/atomizer.
Fixing brackets are supplied with the regulator so that it can be installed in the engine compartment.
These must be adapted to the type of engine compartment in question.
