TROUBLESHOOTING CHART:
Note: When trouble occurs be sure to check for simple causes, which at first may seem too obvious to be considered. For example,
a
starting problem could be caused by propane starvation due to an empty propane cylinder or an unopened service valve. If you don't
check for this, starter burnout could result.
