| Fuel System Service & Repair
| |
• Work in a properly ventilated area
• Do not smoke or allow an open flame near the fuel system.
• Never bypass safety components unless you are testing them.
• Never bypass the fuel filter lock, except when testing them.
• Always reconnect safety components after testing.
• Wear gloves to disconnect the LPG tank coupling.
| |
| LPG Powered
| | Do not operate an LPG powered machine when any component in the fuel system is malfunctioning or leaking.
| |
| Safty Components
| | Replace any defective safety components before operating the sweeper.
| |
