SAFETY INFORMATION
FUEL SAFETY (LPG/PROPANE)
DANGER
„ NEVER fi ll the propane tank within 25 ft. (7.6 m) of
buildings and line of adjoining structures that may be a
source of ignition.
„ Remove all combustible materials including dry grass
and leaves within 25 ft. (7.6 m) of the LPG dispenser.
„ Before fi lling, visually inspect the propane tank for dents,
cracks or excessive corrosion.
„ DO NOT fi ll the propane tank if it is damaged, corroded,
displays leaks at fi ttings/valves, or contains foreign
material.
„ DO NOT fi ll the propane tank if pressure relief or fi ll
valves are damaged.
„ ALWAYS fi ll the propane tank in a well-ventilated area,

is odorless and invisible.
„ DO NOT fi ll the propane tank while the engine is running
or hot.
„ NEVER smoke around or near the
equipment. Fire or explosion could result
from gas vapors.
„ Accumulation of liquid propane gas vapors may result
in the development of an oxygen-defi cient atmosphere
which carries a risk of asphyxiation.
„ NEVER enter a gas cloud area. This condition produces
an oxygen-defi cient atmosphere that could be fatal.
CAUTION
„ ALWAYS use protective gloves when handling the
propane tank. Liquid propane gas will cause cold burns
if it comes into contact with skin.
„ The eyes and body must be protected when handling all
liquid propane gas products. ALWAYS wear protective
