11. 12 Clarke Propane Burnishers Operator s Manual Propane Safety Information Facts About LP Gas Propane As a fuel Propane gas is unmatched for both safety and dependability It has been used as a domestic household fuel for over half a century and for over thirty years as an internal combustion engine fuel Propane is a highly flammable fuel that is contained under pressure as a liquid Vaporized gas has a similar explosive force to gasoline and mixtures as low as 296 LP Gas to air may be ignited in a closed environment Care should be exercised to avoid escaping vapor as it can freeze skin and cause frost bite Vaporized fuel is heavier than air and will collect in the lowest confined space available Facts About Propane Tanks Propane tanks are constructed according to ASME or Federal DOT 4 20 pressure safety codes Including the tank all valves and fittings are UL Listed Propane gas is noncorrosive and will not rust the inside of a tank Should the tank exterior become damaged or rusted discontinue use DO NOT tamper with tank gauges or safety relief valves NEVER use a tank not intended for use with a propane buffer DO NOT substitute tanks that are used with a barbecue grill etc A L Cook recommends having propane tanks tested once a year by an authorized National LP Gas Association sanctioned propane dealer The fuel tank is supplied directly from the manufacturer and is void of fuel This tank must be purged at t

VANCED It is possible that the propane tank s service valve is faulty To check for this close the valve completely and then reopen very slowly while you listen for a click when the gas begins to travel through the valve If you hear this very slight noise then what is happening is the valve is only partially opening This allows enough gas through to start and idle the engine but not enough for full throttle operation As the throttle is increased allowing more air to enter the intake the engine will quit from fuel starvation Call your dealer or the factory for instructions on where to have the service valve replaced Meanwhile to get by you can continue to open the service valve until you don t hear a click and then the engine will run normally IF IT DOES NOT call our customer service department for further assistance 4 THE BUFFER SEEMS TO RUN WELL BUT DIES DOWN WHEN THE PAD IS PLACED ON THE FLOOR OR SOON THEREAFTER Check for the same problem as in 3 5 EXCESSIVE NOISE FROM UNDER BUFFER lf this problem has developed after use of the machine from new then the first place to check is the Lovejoy Tensioner As a new belt wears in it naturally stretches a bit and the tensioner will begin to rattle Place the buffer on its side with the muffler down and reset by taking up the slack in the belt and tighten the Lovejoy Tensioner Clarke Propane Burnishers Operator s Manual Page 15 Trouble Shooting Shooting
