Safety

Inspect the LPG tank and the fuel connection joint for leaks. Use the following procedure below to detect leaks:

Apply an approved leak detector solution, obtained from a trained and qualified LPG distributor, or a thick non-ammonia soapy water solution (50% non-ammonia soap and 50% water). (A leak detector solution that contains ammonia will cause the fittings to corrode and leak.)

Using a small brush or spray bottle, apply the solution around all the fittings of the LPG tank and the fuel connection joint.

Slowly open the gas valve a half-turn.

If bubbles are detected, the joint or fitting has a leak. Shut off the valve, tighten the leaking connection, and slowly open the valve again. If bubbles still appear, Do Not use the tank. If it is safe to do so, remove the tank from your mower; otherwise, contact trained and qualified personnel immediately.

If no bubbles are detected, the LPG tank may be used.

Weekly:

Check the entire LPG fuel delivery system for damage or deterioration.

Check the entire LPG fuel delivery system for leaks at all joints using the same method as described in the previous section.

Follow all the inspection checks as specified in the two previous inspection sections.

Tank Requalification:

USDOT (United States Department of Transportation) regulations require LPG tanks to be inspected, requalified, and marked within 12 years of the manufacture date and on a regular basis thereafter. Typically this occurs when the tank is refilled; contact a trained and qualified LPG tank provider for more details.

Do Not fill the LPG tank if it is beyond the requalification period.

Do Not fill damaged or rusted LPG tanks.
