To replace the APU, reverse the steps above, except for special instructions as

follows:

To reconnect gas hose, do not use any sealing compounds or gas pipe dope

because flare fittings are designed with compression seals that eliminate the

need for these sealants.

CAUTION:

Before performing full test, perform a gas leak test

on the flexible hose flare fitting when cranking or

running APU using a leak detection solution (30%

dish soap in a non-hard water solution). This test

MUST be performed to comply with NFPA 54 section

4 regarding proper gas leak and pressure tests.
