5. ENGINE FUELS
CAUTION
If a gas engine has been cranked excessively without starting, shut off the gas fuel supply and continue
cranking the engine to purge the cylinders and exhaust system of accumulated, unburned gas. If you fail to do
this, a spark plug could ignite and cause an explosion.
Engine fuels may ignite or explode. These must be delivered to the engine with proper piping, free from leaks
and designed to resist breakage from vibration.
6. POSITIVE FUEL SHUT-OFF
CAUTION
Some means of positive fuel shut-off should be provided for emergency use.
Pressurised fuels such as natural gas, landfill or digester gas should have another positive shut off valve
(manual, automatic or valve train), other than those in the carburettor or gas pressure regulation equipment.
It is the final responsibility of the user to ensure that the installation is free from fuel or exhaust leakage and
such installation meets all applicable codes.
7. SAFETY GUARDS
CAUTION
IC engines must be provided with guards to protect persons or structures from rotating or heated parts. It is the
responsibility of the engine owner to fit such protection.
8. CRANKCASE GASES
WARNING
All the engines incorporate a crankcase gases vent to relieve pressure that builds up inside as a portion of the
combustion gases flow in through the piston rings (blow by). Make sure the vent pipe is correctly fitted, allowing
free passage of the gases.
