SWITCHING BETWEEN GASOLINE & PROPANE FUEL
In order to switch between gasoline and propane fuel, you must turn off the current fuel.
For example, if using gasoline and you want to switch to propane, turn the gasoline Fuel Switch to OFF position and turn the propane tank to ON.
Then select the FUEL SELECTOR SWITCH to LPG. If using propane and you want to switch to gasoline, turn the gas Fuel Switch to ON and
select the FUEL SELECTOR SWITCH to GAS. Then turn the propane tank OFF.
