Page 27 MAINTENANCE PULSE AIR SYSTEM - OPTION The most important step to insure proper operation of the Pulse Air System is keeping the clean side of the filter clean. Dirt inside the compressor reservoir system can lead to air leaks. Air leaks will prevent the system from reaching the trigger pressure and then the system will stop working properly.

Page 39: Air Filter
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS AIR INTAKE SYSTEM NOTE Monitor the air filter indicator daily The importance of replacing the air filter at the appropriate time cannot be overemphasized. Even a small amount of dirt ingested through the air intake system will wear out a set of piston rings in just a few hours. Always cover the air intake when removing the air filter for replacement.
Page 40: Engine Cooling System Service
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE HOSES Check all hoses and connections for leaks. Replace any of the hoses are cracked, frayed, or feel spongy.

Page 41: Lp Safety Precautions
LP SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING Keep cigarettes, sparks, and open flame away when working on LP equipment. When inspecting for gas leaks or when LP tanks are present. WARNING Check all components for proper operation. Replace LP components when needed. Never by-pass defective safety components.
Page 42: Lp Components
LP COMPONENTS LP FUEL SYSTEM The LP fuel system consists of several components not found on the gasoline system. The LP fuel system also contains the associated mounting hardware and plumbing for the LP components. The major LP components are as follows (these components are factory set, adjustments to these components should only be made by autho- rized service personnel): 1.
Page 43: Lp Fuel Tanks
LP COMPONENTS LP FUEL TANKS Standard D.O.T. LP fuel tank sizes have 14, 20, 33.5, and 43.5 pounds capacities. The liquid volume permitted in these containers is less than the total volume of the cylinder. This provides for expansion of the LP fuel should be temperature increase above the normal amounts.
Page 44: Storage Of Lp Fuel Tanks
LP TANK CARE TO BEGIN CHANGING THE LP TANK Park the machine in a designated safe area and set the parking brake. Close the tank valve. Remove the quick-disconnect coupling from the tank valve. Inspect the machine’s fuel lines and the quick disconnect coupling for damage or abnormal wear. Remove the empty tank from the holding device.
