Initial LPG Tank Fill-Up

NOTE: The vapor withdrawal service valve of the Aluminum Outdoor Equipment Propane Cylinder is fitted with left-hand threaded safety coupler. Typical forklift cylinders withdraw liquid propane and have right-handed safety couplers. The different safety couplers prevent users from installing cylinders on the wrong equipment.

The LPG tank is shipped separately and will need to be purged before the initial fill-up.

It is important to properly purge new propane cylinders before the first fill. The authorized LP-Gas filler should follow proper purge guidelines outlined in NPGA Bulletin #133.89(a).

Once properly purged, fill the cylinder through the fill valve with Overfill Prevention Device (OPD) in accordance with section 7.4 of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, NFPA 58-2008.

Installing the LPG Tank

1.Open the straps and carefully place the LPG tank into the straps with the cylinder valve guard towards the front of the unit. Be sure that the alignment pin fits into the slot on the bottom of the cylinder valve guard. See Fig. 3-7.
