While engine is operating, place the dual fuel switch
at platform control station to the LPG position. Allow
engine to operate, without load, until engine begins
to “stumble” from lack of gasoline. At this time the
machine is allowing the LP fuel to be sent to the fuel
regulator.
Changing From LP Gas to Gasoline
1.
With engine operating on LP under a no-load condi-
tion, throw LPG/GASOLINE switch at platform con-
trol station to GASOLINE position.

If engine “stumbles” because of lack of gasoline,
place switch to LPG position until engine regains
smoothness, then return switch to GASOLINE posi-
tion.

Close hand valve on LP gas supply by turning clock-
wise.

A STRONG ODOR OF LPG FUEL CAN INDICATE A LEAK.
