TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE:
PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR, AND WILL COLLECT IN
LOW AREAS, INCREASING THE ABOVE RISKS. THEREFORE:
•
ALWAYS
use the cylinder cap provided with your cylinder
whenever the cylinder is not connected to your barbeque.
(Figure 4)
•
DO NOT
store in a building, garage or any other enclosed
area. Store in a well-ventilated area.
•
DO NOT
store near any gas burning apparatus or in any high-
heat areas such as a closed car or trunk.
• Transport and store the cylinder in an upright position – do
not tip on its side.
• Store out of reach of children.
•
DO NOT
smoke while transporting a cylinder in your vehicle.
• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full : a fire causing death or
serious injury may occur
• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to
possible gas release from the safety relief valve. This could
cause an intense fire with risk of property damage, serious
injury or death.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away
from the LP cylinder/appliance and call your fire department.
• Never store a spare LP cylinder under or near the appliance or
in an enclosed area.
• Do not store a spare LP cylinder under or near a barbecue
grill, or other heat sources,
• Do not move the BBQ/grill when operating or while BBQ/grill
is hot.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures
can reach 125 F.
• Do not leave an LP cylinder in a car on a hot day.
• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. Dented or rusty LP
cylinders or LP cylinders with a damaged valve may be
hazardous and should be replaced with a new one immediately
