Training
What is LPG? LPG stands for liquefied petroleum
gas and is more commonly called propane. LPG is
a liquid fuel that is stored in a tank under pressure.
Before the liquid leaves the tank, it is converted into
a vapor. Since LPG is stored as both liquid and gas,
it may leak from joints or connections that are not
sealed properly. LPG becomes flammable when it is
mixed with air.

Safety
CAUTION
DANGER
This machine produces sound levels in
excess of 85 dBA at the operator’s ear and
can cause hearing loss through extended
periods of exposure.
LPG fuel is extremely flammable and vapors
are explosive.
A fire or explosion from LPG fuel can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
Wear hearing protection when operating this
machine.
• Never smoke around tank(s) and stay
away from an open flame or where fumes
may be ignited by a spark.
• Inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all rocks, toys, sticks, wires,
bones, and other foreign objects which can be
thrown by the machine and may cause personal
injury to the operator or bystanders.
• Extinguish all sources of spark or flame
when approaching LPG tanks or mowers.
The hazard increases for enclosed trailers
or storage locations where vapor leakage
may occur and collect.
• LPG is heavier than air and may
accumulate in low lying areas, such as
ditches, drains, or pits.
• LPG tank(s) should be filled by trained
and qualified personnel ONLY.
• Never tamper with or repair the tank(s);
contact trained and qualified personnel.
• Do Not change the tank(s) when the
engine is running.
• Before disconnecting the hose(s), purge
all LPG vapors from the system, by
closing the fuel valve(s) on ALL tanks and
allowing the engine to run until it stops.
• Store the tank(s) away from heat, sparks,
or open flames.
• Do Not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.

Safety
DANGER
DANGER
LPG fuel is extremely flammable and vapors
are explosive.
LPG vapors and liquid escaping from the
tank may cause serious injury or death.
Vapors or liquid may cause suffocation,
freezing of tissue, or frostbite.
• In case of fire take the following steps:
1. If you can safely do so, stop the flow of
gas as quickly as possible. Never put
out flame unless gas can be shut off.
• Store and service the mower in a well
ventilated area.
• An approved LPG detector installed
in trailers and storage areas is
recommended.
2. Notify the Fire Department and clear
immediate area of all people.
3. When gas flow is stopped, put out
the fire. Usually when flow of gas is
cutoff, fire will automatically stop.
• LPG is heavier than air and may
accumulate in low lying areas, such as
ditches, drains, or pits.
4. If gas flow cannot be immediately
stopped, direct water on tanks to keep
them cool, but Do Not put out fire.
• Avoid breathing of vapors.
• Keep away from vent valve.
• Keep away from eyes and skin.
• Storage locations and trailers should
be equipped with at least one approved
portable fire extinguisher having a
minimum capacity of 18 lb (8.2 kg) dry
chemical with a B:C rating. Do Not
use Carbon Tetrachloride extinguishers
(Pyrene etc.).
• Contact trained and qualified personnel if
tank shows signs of frosted areas, makes
a hissing sound, or emits a foul odor.
• Obtain immediate medical attention if
contact occurs with vapors or liquid.
• Check that the operator’s presence controls,
safety switches, and shields are attached and
functioning properly. Do Not operate unless they
are functioning properly.
Inspection
It is very important to check the LPG tank and
components for wear or leaks.
Important: Never check for leaks using an open
flame.
Important: Never use bare hands when
checking the fitting or valve. Escaping LPG
vapor and liquid freezes skin on contact.
Important: Only hand tighten tank connection
fitting. Over tightening by the use of tools may
cause damage. If hand tightening does not stop
a leak, contact trained and qualified personnel
immediately.
• Before each use:
– Visually inspect the tank, hose, and fitting and
be alert to a foul odor coming from the tank.

otherwise, contact trained and qualified
personnel immediately.
damage. If the tank show signs of dents or
damage, replace it immediately.
– Check the valve and fitting openings for dirt
and debris.
◊ If no bubbles are detected, the LPG tank
may be used.
– Slowly open the valve all the way and listen
for a continuous hiss from the regulator, it
may indicate a leak.
• Weekly:
– Check the entire LPG fuel delivery system for
damage or deterioration.
– LPG has a rotten egg or skunk smell added
to it to help detect a gas leak. If you detect
a gas leak:
– Check the entire LPG fuel delivery system for
leaks at all joints using the same method as
described in the previous section.
◊ Turn off the LPG valve if you can safely
do so.
– Follow all the inspection checks as specified
in the two previous inspection sections.
◊ Leave the area.
• Tank Requalification:
◊ Contact trained and qualified personnel
immediately.
– 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 use if the hoses are abraded, damaged,
kinked, or flattened.
– Make sure the tank is securely mounted to
the mower. If the tank is loose, the hose or
fittings may leak.
• With each tank change:
– Do Not fill the LPG tank if it is beyond the
requalification period.
– Check all gauges, fittings, and valves for
damage.
– Do Not fill damaged or rusted LPG tanks.
– Look for deterioration, damaged or missing
o-rings on tank connection fitting.
Operation
– Inspect the LPG tank and the fuel connection
joint for leaks. Use the following procedure
below to detect leaks:
WARNING
◊ 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.)
Operating engine parts, especially the
muffler, become extremely hot. Severe burns
can occur on contact and debris, such as
leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.
• Allow engine parts, especially the muffler,
to cool before touching.
• Remove accumulated debris from muffler
and engine area.
◊ Using a small brush or spray bottle, apply
the solution around all the fittings of the
LPG tank and the fuel connection joint.
• Install and maintain in working order a
spark arrester before using equipment
on forest-covered, grass-covered, or
brush-covered unimproved land.
◊ 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

Operation
tipping, or physical damage relative to other
tanks or to the storage cage while in transit.
WARNING
Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of backward tip-over.
Backward tip-over could cause serious injury
or death.
– Place tanks so that valves, fittings, or gauges
are protected from physical damage during
transport.
• Place tank(s) in a well-ventilated trailer.
• Use extreme caution when operating a
unit on a ramp.
• Do Not store the tank(s) or machine with
tank(s) in an area where the temperature can rise
above 120°F (49°C). If the temperature exceeds
approximately 160°F (71°C), the tank will release
highly flammable propane vapor. See Preparation
in the Safety Section.
• Use only a single, full width ramp; Do
Not use individual ramps for each side
of the unit.
• If individual ramps must be used, use
enough ramps to create an unbroken
ramp surface wider than the unit.
• Do Not transport LPG tank(s) in the passenger
space of a vehicle.
• Do Not exceed a 15° angle between ramp
and ground or between ramp and trailer
or truck.
• Do Not transport leaking fuel tanks.
• Trailers must have appropriate markings to
transport LPG.
• Avoid sudden acceleration while driving
unit up a ramp to avoid tipping backward.
• Follow NFPA 58 and state and local regulations
for transporting LPG.
• Avoid sudden deceleration while backing
unit down a ramp to avoid tipping
backward.
Loading a Unit
Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or
trucks. One full width ramp that is wide enough to
extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead
of individual ramps for each side of the unit. The
lower rear section of the tractor frame extends back
between the rear wheels and serves as a stop for
tipping backward. Having a full width ramp provides
a surface for the frame members to contact if the
unit starts to tip backward. If it is not possible to use
one full width ramp, use enough individual ramps to
simulate a full width continuous ramp.
WARNING
Loading the mower onto a trailer without
strong enough or properly supported ramps
could be dangerous. The ramps could
collapse causing the unit to fall, which could
cause injury.
• Use proper ramps that are secured to the
truck or trailer.
• Keep feet and legs out from under the
unit when loading and unloading.
Ramp should be long enough so that the angles
between the ramp and the ground and the ramp and
the trailer or truck do not exceed 15°. A steeper angle
may cause mower deck components to get caught as
the unit moves from ramp to trailer or truck. Steeper
angles may also cause the unit to tip backward. If
loading on or near a slope, position the trailer or
truck so it is on the down side of the slope and the
ramp extends up the slope. This will minimize the
ramp angle. The trailer or truck should be as level
as possible.
• If necessary, use assistance when loading.
Consult the NFPA 58: Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Code for additional information regarding LPG
transportation.
• Be sure the fuel valve is closed on the tank(s).
• Place spare LPG tank(s) in a DOT approved
storage cage.
Important: Do Not attempt to turn the unit
while on the ramp, you may lose control and

Note: The following instructions are adapted
from the SAE J1494 Rev. Dec. 2001 – Battery
Booster Cables – Surface Vehicle Recommended
Practice (SAE – Society of Automotive
Engineers).
1. Check the weak battery for terminal corrosion
(white, green, or blue “snow”), it must be cleaned
off prior to jump starting. Clean and tighten
connections as necessary.
WARNING
Batteries contain acid and produce explosive
gases.
CAUTION
Corrosion or loose connections can cause
unwanted electrical voltage spikes at anytime
during the jump starting procedure.
• Shield the eyes and face from the batteries
at all times.
• Do Not lean over the batteries.
Do Not attempt to jump start with loose or
corroded battery terminals or damage to the
engine may occur.
Note: Be sure the vent caps are tight and level.
Place a damp cloth, if available, over any vent
caps on both batteries. Be sure the vehicles do
not touch and that both electrical systems are
off and at the same rated system voltage. These
instructions are for negative ground systems only.
