It's just as John A. is saying. If you follow the lines you'll see that the liquid and vapor lines both hook together at the filter. Starting on the vapor valve is helpful in cold weather and you can do light work with just the vapor valve open. When operating at a heavy load you need to be able to generate a lot of BTU so you want to draw liquid off the tank and let the vaporizer work on it.
It's possible for the LP tractor to keep running but be too lean if you have a high load situation with just the vapor valve open. I have seen a couple of burned up exhaust manifolds on LP tractors.
I usually start on the vapor valve and after a few minutes open the liquid valve. For shut down I like to shut the liquid off a minute or two before I'm parked and allow the liquid in the lines to vaporize and be used.
It wouldn't hurt to shut it down and then close the valves, but inevitable the liquid in the lines will vaporize and seep out and represents an economic loss. (translation: I'm being miserly!)
In the hot summer I can start right away on the liquid valve.
