TROUBLESHOOTING
Frost on the propane tank or
regulator
1. This can be a normal occurrence caused
when liquid propane changes phase to a
gas. As this process occurs the fuel tank
or regulator will cool and allow humid air
surrounding the propane tank or regulator to
condense into frost.
1. As this can be normal, providing all the propane
fuel handling equipment is functioning normally,
no remedy is needed.
2. The propane tank is not equipped with a
OPD (rollover protection device) and has been
stored in a horizontal position allowing liquid
propane to enter the downstream fuel handling
equipment.
2. If you suspect your propane fuel tank is
not equipped with a OPD device, discontinue
operation immediately and replace the propane
fuel tank with a propane tank equipped with a roll
over protection device.
3. Propane fuel tank over filled.
3. If you suspect your propane fuel tank has been
overfilled, discontinue operation immediately
and return the propane fuel tank to the place of
purchase or refilling.
Propane fuel smell
1. Fuel regulator or fuel hose and fittings not
securely sealed.
1. Using a soap solution check each connection
and tighten as needed.
2. Propane fuel regulator vent active.
2. The propane fuel regulator is equipped with
a small vent that will allow a small amount of
propane fuel vapor to escape from the regulator
when the propane tank valve is opened. This
can be normal providing the venting of the
propane is brief. If you suspect that this is
abnormal, immediately discontinue use and have
the propane regulator inspected by a qualified
technician.
3. Residual fuel from the carburetor dispersing
after operation.
3. Normal, no remedy is needed.
Poor performance or engine
stalling
1. Propane fuel line kinked or crushed.
1. Inspect propane fuel line and remove kinks or
other obstructions.
2. Fuel selector valve not properly positioned.
2. Rotate the fuel valve fully until the pointer is
directly in line with the desired fuel.
3. Gasoline not purged from the carburetor
before switching to propane.
3. Turn the propane fuel tank valve to closed.
Move the fuel selector valve to propane. Turn the
gasoline fuel valve to off. Start the engine and
allow the engine to run until the fuel has been
consumed in the carburetor. Begin propane start
up procedure.
