II. Machine Preparation (continued)
B.
Filling the Propane Fuel Cylinder
Nilfisk-Advance uses the 20 lb. capacity aluminum fuel cylinder which meets the D.O.T. 4E240
standards. These cylinders are also listed by U.L.. Filling should ONLY be done by a qualified propane
dealer. A properly filled cylinder should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity.
DO NOT attempt cylinder repair. Return the cylinder to your propane dealer if repair is necessary.
Please note that D.O.T. regulations prohibit shipping of cylinders after the cylinder has been filled
with propane.
C.
Installing the Fuel Cylinder
Strap the cylinder in place by clamping the toggle assembly to the cylinder band. Adjust the toggle
assembly by screwing in or out in order to keep the tank firmly secured. Connect the fuel hose coupling
to the service valve by turning right (clockwise).
HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
Make sure coupling is not
cross threaded and check for leakage by noting any odors of propane immediately after cylinder is
connected. (It is sometimes easier to install if the connection to the service valve is made before
strapping the cylinder in place.
To remove cylinder, reverse above procedure. Always connect or change cylinders in a well ventilated
area.
