Linde 1202 Series - Setting up the LP Tank Bracket

Setting Up the LP Tank Bracket
The truck is delivered from the factory with a
12 mm tank pin installed in the tank bracket.
There are two mounting holes for the pin. En-
sure the pin is in the correct hole to fit tanks
that will be used with the truck. No part of the
tank can extend outside the horizontal profile
of the truck.
WARNING
The LP tank bracket will be damaged or destroyed
and possible injury will result if items are attached to
it.
Never attach any item or towed load to any part of
the LP tank bracket.
LP Level Indicator
The truck is equipped with a level sensing sys-
tem that provides a continuous display of tank
level, similar to a gasoline gauge. This system
is intended to work with LP tanks that are full
when installed at change-out and not removed
until empty or nearly empty.
Whenever the truck is turned on after a new
tank is installed, the system automatically de-
tects the change in tank level and initializes to
the new level. Any newly installed tank must
be at least 50% full, as well as more full than
the tank being replaced, in order for the initiali-
zation process to occur. If not, the display will
not change and it will continue based on the
last level of the previous tank, which will not
be accurate for the new tank.
NOTE
Partially filled tanks greater than 50% may
not trigger initialization if, for some reason,
the previous tank was removed while it was
still more full than the new tank. In this case,
performing a reset will allow initialization to oc-
cur. See Troubleshooting the LP Level Display
System in section 5.
Ensure that any weld seam on the LP tanks
being used does not fall directly on the fuel
level sensor. The level sensor will not function
correctly if it is in contact with a weld seam on
the tank. An alternate position is provided for
mounting the fuel level sensor if necessary to
avoid contact with tank weld seams. The pro-
cedure for repositioning the fuel level sensor is
given in the service manual.
If problems occur with fuel level accuracy, see
Troubleshooting the LP Level Display System
in section 5.
NOTE
Certain explosion proof tanks with internal
coatings will not work with the sensor.
NOTE
Large variations in temperature between the
tank and the sensor can affect the accuracy
of the level indication system. If a cold tank
(ie from outdoor storage in winter) is installed
onto a warm truck, the initial tank level indica-
tion will not be immediately accurate. In this
case the system will perform a temperature
compensation that provides approximate ac-
curacy. Optimum accuracy will occur as the
temperatures equalize.
