Starting the Engine
(Gasoline/LPG Models)
If the ambient temperature is sufficiently high, start the engine
the same way as you would start the engine of LPG models. If
the temperature is very low and starting the engine is difficult
with LPG fuel, set the fuel switch to the GAS position and start
the engine. Change the fuel setting to the LPG position after the
engine becomes hot (stop the engine first).
1. Set the fuel switch to the GAS position.
2. Start and warm up the engine as you would start and warm
up an ordinary gasoline engine. See the other Operator’s
Manual for engine starting procedures.
3. Set the fuel switch to the OFF position and let the engine
stop naturally.
4. Set the fuel switch to the LPG position and start the engine
again as you would start the engine of LPG models.
CAUTION!
Never change the fuel switch setting from GAS to LPG posi-
tions while the engine is running. It will increase the engine
rpm sharply and cause a serious damage to the engine.
To prolong the Engine Life
Refrain from handling and driving the vehicle roughly especially
when it is new.
Parking

piping leaves the system. Turn the engine switch to the “O”
(OFF) position and remove the key.
2. Parking for a long time.
(1) Turn the LPG tank outflow valve clockwise to shut the
fuel supply.
(2) Let the engine stop naturally so that any LPG fuel in the
piping leaves the system. Turn the fuel switch and the
