Warning
Always wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves and face shield when
checking LPG tanks and fittings. LPG can cause frostbite when released,
due to its very low temperature.

Check the LPG bottle/tank for scrapes, dents and other damage.
Check that the bottle is located on the locator pin.
Ensure the bottle is clamped securely in place.
Check the LPG hoses and connections for leaks – Use a soapy water
solution. NOT your hands. LP Gas can cause severe burns.
