fuel systems, be sure shutoff valve is closed, and run engine until fuel system is depleted and engine stops running.
(f) Before disconnecting any part of the engine fuel system of LP gas powered carriers, close the LP gas cylinder
valve and run the engine until fuel in the system is depleted and the engine stops running.
(g) Operation to check performance of the carrier shall be conducted in an authorized area where safe clearance
exists.
(h) Before commencing operation of the carrier, follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommended proce-
dures.
(i) Avoid fire hazards and have fire protection equipment present in the work area. Do not use an open flame to
check level or leakage of fuel, battery electrolyte, or coolant. Do not use open pans of fuel or flammable cleaning fluids
for cleaning parts.
(j) Properly ventilate the work area.
(k) Handle LP gas cylinders with care. Physical damage, such as dents, scrapes, or gouges, may dangerously

guards, and safety devices shall be inspected regularly and maintained in a safe operating condition.
(m) Special carriers or devices designed and approved for hazardous area operation shall be inspected to ensure
that maintenance preserves the original approved safe operating features.
(n) Fuel systems shall be checked for leaks and condition of parts. If a leak is found, action shall be taken to prevent
the use of the carrier until the leak has been eliminated.
(o) The carrier manufacturer's capacity, operation, and maintenance instruction plates, tags, or decals shall be
maintained in legible condition.
(p) Batteries, motors, speed and directional controllers, limit switches, protective devices, electrical conductors, and
connections shall be inspected and maintained in conformance with manufacturers recommended procedures.
(q) Carriers shall be kept in a clean condition to minimize fire hazards and facilitate detection of loose or defective
parts.
(r) Modifications and additions which affect capacity and safe machine operation shall not be performed by the cus-
tomer or user without manufacturer's prior written authorization; where authorized modifications have been made, the
user shall ensure that capacity, operation, warning, and maintenance instruction plates, tags, or decals are changed
accordingly.
(s) Care shall be taken to ensure that all replacement parts are interchangeable with the original parts and of a qual-
ity at least equal to that provided in the original equipment.
