Operation Section The LP tank must not extend past the counterweight. 9. Check to be sure that the LP warning plate is in position on the lift truck, and is legible. 10. Check to be sure the replacement tank is of the correct type. 11. Inspect the replacement tank for damage such as dents, scrapes or gouges and for indication of leakage at valves or threaded connections. 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. 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. 62 CAUTION
