Check Hoses and Clamps
Check the condition of the coolant system hoses and
clamps every 10 hours of operation.
Hoses:
• Inspect the hoses for cracks, abrasions, cuts,
bulges, swollen ends, or leaks.
• Squeeze the hoses. They should yield slightly to
moderate pressure and not feel too hard, too soft,
or spongy.
• Replace faulty hoses before operating the engine.
Clamps:
• Verify that all clamps are in place.
• Adjust and tighten clamps as needed.

WARNING
!
Explosive fuel can cause fires and
severe burns.
If a gaseous odor is detected,
ventilate the area and contact an
authorized service technician.
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is extremely
flammable and tends to settle in low areas where a
spark or flame could ignite the gas. Do not start or
operate this engine in a poorly ventilated area where
leaking gas could accumulate and endanger the safety
of persons in the area.
NG (Natural Gas) is extremely flammable, is lighter
than air, and rises. Do not start or operate this engine
in a poorly ventilated are where leaking gas could
accumulate and endanger the safety of persons in the
area.
To ensure personal safety, installation and repair of
LPG/NG fuel supply systems must be performed only
by qualified LPG/NG system technicians. Improperly
installed and maintained LPG/NG equipment could
cause the fuel supply system or other components to
malfunction, causing gas leaks.
Observe federal, state, and local laws governing
LPG/NG fuel, storage, and systems.
