If bubbles appear, tighten the connection until the bubbles stop. If bubbles persist, close the tank valves and re-examine the connection for damage or improper seating.

5. Иштөө нускамалары

The auto-changeover feature of the F273846 regulator simplifies propane management by automatically switching between tanks.

Баштапкы орнотуу:

1. Ensure both propane tank valves are fully open.
2. Turn the lever on the regulator towards the tank you wish to designate as the primary supply. The indicator window will show green, confirming gas flow from that tank.
3. The other tank will serve as the reserve.

Автоматтык алмаштыруу:

• When the primary tank runs out of propane, the regulator will automatically draw gas from the reserve tank.
• The indicator window on the regulator will change from green to red, signaling that the primary tank is empty and the system is now operating on the reserve tank.
• At this point, you can close the valve on the empty primary tank, disconnect it, and have it refilled. The system will continue to operate on the reserve tank.
• Once the primary tank is refilled and reconnected, open its valve. Then, rotate the lever on the regulator to point towards the newly filled tank. The indicator will turn green again.
