Precautions For Using Lpg; Recommended Lpg Fuel Type - UniCarriers 1F1 Operator's Manual

PRECAUTIONS FOR USING LPG

! WARNING
• LPG IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. It will settle on your clothes and
the surface around you, displacing oxygen necessary for
breathing.
• Open flames can cause flash fires.
• Check all connections for damage or leaks. If the lift truck
will not start after you change cylinders, have an authorized,
qualified mechanic check it.
When changing LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) Cylinders (tanks), follow
the basic rules below.
• Never allow open flames or other sources of ignition in the area.
• Wear protective equipment (i.e. safety glasses, gloves, etc.).
• Change only in well ventilated areas.
• Do not use or park near fire.
• Do not expose directly to the sun for extended periods of time.
• Inspect equipment pipe connections for gas leaks at mating
sections.
• Only a person who is familiar with replacing LPG Cylinders (tanks)
should replace them.
• LPG is heavier than air.
!
• Internal combustion lift trucks are not recommended for
use in enclosed or confined spaces because of the possible
build up of carbon monoxide gases, which are colorless and
odorless, and could cause unconsciousness and/or death.
