Attach the tank frame to a sufficiently strong structure at the predetermined location with a sufficient number of bolts of the correct quality. (review the installation requirements of your national authority.
The gas tank must not make metallic contact with the tank frame. Therefore, use the supplied insulation strip and apply it to the tank frame.
Position the gas tank on the prepared tank frame. Pay attention to the mark (cross with arrow) on the gas tank for correct positioning for proper functioning of the gas tank. The mark indicates the top and the horizontal center plane.
The tank straps (lashing straps) go over the tank and the ends of a tank straps go through the fixation bracket and then back around the tank, under the previously mentioned part of the tank strap that you have just installed. The ends of the tank straps go through the fixation brackets and back under the same tension strap with a minimum overlap of 15 cm (preferably more).
On the rear side of the tank frame the fixation brackets are bolted to the frame. While on the front side, the fixation brackets with the bolt is attached to the upright angular brackets on the tank frame, so you can bring up to tension the fixation straps by further tightening the bolt / nut. Make sure that the fixation straps are properly tensioned and that the tank is pressed well and firmly onto the tank frame without any play. (See images for reference.)
No weakening points may be made in the fixation straps, for example by making a hole in it. Attaching the fixation straps may only be done with the intended and supplied fixation brackets.
Number of straps: The LPG tank must be secured to the tank frame with at least two tank straps (lashing straps). If the tank straps also need to support the weight of the LPG tank, at least three tank straps must be fitted. However, we recommend using at least 4 tank straps in that case. The tank straps are sold per set (2 pieces). The precise number of tank straps to be used depends, among other things, on the tank contents and the positioning of the LPG tank. Use and respect the national installation requirements (see the appendices tab on this page) for correct installation.
