WARNING
Do not use an LPG tank that is damaged. A damaged

surface of the tank, the valves or fittings indicates
leakage. A strong odor of LPG fuel can indicate a
leak.
Use the following procedure to install the LPG tank:
1. Before the LPG tank is installed on the lift truck,
check the operation of the fuel gauge. Look at the
fuel gauge and move the tank. If the gauge needle
does not move, a new tank must be installed.
2. Put the tank in the tank bracket. Make sure that the
tank is aligned with the alignment pin.
3. Close the latch.
4. See FIGURE 24. Connect the quick disconnect fit-
ting to the fuel valve on the tank. Use your hand to
tighten the fitting. Do not open the fuel valve until
the quick disconnect fitting is completely tightened.
T urn the fuel valve counterclockwise to open the
fuel valve.
5. Inspect the fuel system for leaks when the fuel
valve is open. Frost on the surface of the tank,
valves or fittings or a strong odor indicates leakage.
