OPERATION
INSTALLING THE PROPANE CANISTER
1. Make sure the engine is off.
2. If the propane canister to be installed has a protective plastic cap over the threaded end, remove it.
Make sure the canister clamp is in the unlatched position. If the rubber tank plug is in place, remove it.
Save the plug for future use.
3. Pull the propane connector out from the bottle bracket through the canister clamp.
4. Insert the propane connector onto the threaded end of the canister and screw it clockwise onto threads.
Screw it until snug. Do not over tighten.
NOTE: It may be normal to hear or smell a slight momentary leak of propane as the connector is being
screwed in. Make sure that the connector is installed tight enough that any leakage stops.
Hand tight is sufficient.
5. Insert the connected propane canister through the canister clamp and against the bottle bracket until it
stops against it.
6. Latch the canister clamp closed.
REMOVING THE PROPANE CANISTER
1. Make sure the engine is off.
2. Unlatch the canister clamp, pull the canister out, and remove the propane connector by turning it
counterclockwise.
3. Remove the empty canister.
4. Dispose of empty propane canisters in accordance to Federal, State and Local regulations.
CONNECTING REMOTE PROPANE TANK
1. Make sure the engine is off and the propane tank is closed.
2. Connect the remote hose to the remote propane tank. Use only a high pressure propane hose. Do not
use a hose with a regulator attached.
3. Unscrew the brass connector plug from the remote propane connector on the engine. Connect the remote hose to
the remote propane connector.
4. If the engine is intended to be operated solely on the larger remote tank, insert the brass connector plug into the
rear propane connector for the small bottle and install the provided rubber tank plug, and clamp it into place.
NOTE: When a new hose from a remote tank is being used, it may
take a few seconds for the propane to flow to reach the engine.
The engine may start and then die, or not start immediately.
A few extra pulls of the starter are usually sufficient for the flow
to reach the engine.
