10. Check to be sure the replacement tank is of the
correct type.

as dents, scrapes or gouges and for indication of
leakage at valves or threaded connections.
12. Check for debris in the relief valve, for damage
to various valves and liquid level gauge.
13. Inspect the quick-disconnect couplings for
deterioration, damage or missing flexible seals.
14. Position the replacement tank so that the
locating pin (dowel) is in place.
WARNING
The LP tank must not extend past the
counterweight.
15. Grasp a new tank and clamp securely. Pull the
release knob (1) and push the tank cradle
upward when locked.
16. Rotate the tank cradle forward of the truck and
lock it with latch. Connect the fuel supply line.
17. Open the fuel valve by slowly turning the valve
counterclockwise. If the fuel valve is opened too
quickly, a back pressure check valve will shut off
the fuel supply. If this happens, close the fuel
valve completely. Wait five seconds and then
open the fuel valve very slowly.
18. Inspect the LP fuel lines and fittings with a soap
solution after filling the tank or when looking for
leaks.
