• In order to be able to evaluate whether a liquefied petroleum gas system is in an operationally safe state, it is necessary to have had a proper course of training in these systems.

• In addition it is necessary to have a good knowledge of the relevant official Work Protection Regulation and Accident Prevention Regulations. For this reason, LPG units may only be repaired and maintained by trained personnel. Contact your CLARK dealer when maintenance or repairs need to be carry out.

• The complete liquified petroleum gas system must be checked regularly (weekly) to see that it is in an operationally safe state.

• Special attention must be paid to checking that the system is not leaking. Check hoses, connections and assembly groups with soapy water, nekal solution or a suitable leak indicator spray.

• Use of open flames, smoking and use of hot objects is strictly prohibited.

• Every 1000 operational hours, or once annually, the filter elememts in the liquid gas preliminary filter and in the shut-off valve must be renewed, as well as diaphragms, seals and valves.

• After each maintenance, the cap screws of the evaporator pressure regulator must be tightened with a torque of 4.1±0.3 Nm.

• Check the LPG system after every repair or service to make sure that it is free of leaks.

Engine air cleaner • Check the engine air cleaner for damage and contamination (excessive dirt buildup and clogging). Be sure that the air cleaner hose is securely connected (not loose or leaking). Fan or cone shaped dust deposits on tube or hose surfaces indicate a leak.

• Change or service the air cleaner element every 2000 operating hours for LPG/Gas engine, every 1000 operating hours for Diesel engine depending upon your application.

• Service intervals may also be determined by the air restriction indicator.

• Clean the air filter housing thoroughly before fitting the filter.

• Do not open the air filter housing to check the filter element.
