Lpg Tank, Remove - Yale Veracitor GCC040VX Operating Manual

LPG is extremely flammable. When checking or filling an
LPG tank: No smoking. Stop engine.
Frost on the surface of the tank, the valves or fittings and
the odor of LPG fuel indicates a leak. Inspect the LPG
system and repair a leak immediately. An LPG fuel leak
creates an explosion and fire hazard. Do not attempt to
start the engine if there is a leak in the LPG fuel system.
Only trained and authorized personnel are permitted to
operate filling equipment.
Use only the LPG tank indicated on the label on the tank
bracket. Do not use an LPG tank that is damaged. A
damaged LPG tank must be removed from service.
WARNING
LPG tanks are heavy. The weight of an LPG tank can
exceed the maximum recommended weight for safe lift-
ing by an individual. Get assistance when lifting or low-
ering an LPG tank. Use correct lifting procedures.
LPG can cause an explosion. Do not cause sparks or
permit flammable material near the LPG system. LPG
fuel systems can be disconnected indoors only if the lift
truck is at least 8 m (26 ft) from any open flame, motor
vehicles, electrical equipments, or ignition source.
Removable LPG tanks must be removed from the fork lift
before filling. If the lift truck is equipped with a non-
removable LPG tank, make sure all components (engine,
transmission, muffler, catalytic muffler) have surface
temperatures that have cooled to below 427 °C (800 °F).

straps. See Figure 37.
