  4. Remove the demand regulator from the enclosure by rotating counterclockwise.
  5. Remove the small brass hose fitting from the idle circuit post of the regulator housing.
  6. Remove the small jet (0D5698A) located in the side of the regulator housing and install it into the small threaded hole in the idle circuit port on the regulator.
  7. Refit the brass hose fitting to the idle circuit port of the regulator.  Use pipe thread sealant to reseal the threads on the hose fitting.
  8. Identify both adjustment screws.

Note: One adjustment screw can be accessed from the front of the unit and the second can be accessed from the back of the unit, (Remove black cap in lower part of enclosure panel).

  1. Reverse procedure steps 1-4 to reinstall the demand regulator.
  2. To adjust the system to run on LP fuel, simply turn both the adjuster screws 1/4 turn clockwise.
  3. The fuel system will now allow the engine to run on LP fuel.  It may be necessary to make minor adjustments to the preset screw settings to achieve maximum power.  If there are problems with the unit producing maximum power, follow the procedure in Section 2.6 of the Owner's Manual "Adjusting the Regulator".
