Caution
LP Gas bottles are heavy and must be handled with care to avoid injury.
Full bottles can weigh up to 40kg (90lbs)
The LPG container is located on the left hand side of the truck under the operators
seat.
Trained and authorised personnel should carry out refilling and changing LPG
containers at designated points only.
LPG should not be refuelled or stored near underground entrances, lift shafts or any
other place where leakage could collect in a potentially dangerous gas pocket.
When changing gas bottles ALWAYS ensure that the service valve on the bottle is
closed and all gas in the connecting hoses has been used BEFORE disconnecting the
quick release coupling.
Damage such as dents, scrapes or gouges in the container may materially weaken the
structure of the container and render it unsafe for use.
All containers should be checked regularly for dents, scrapes and gouges in the
pressure vessel section.
Check LPG bottles for:
Damage to the valves and the liquid level gauge.
Debris in the relief valve.
Deterioration, damage or loss of flexible seals in the filling or servicing
connections.
Indications of leakage at valves or threaded connections i.e. Signs of frost on
fittings and hoses usually signify a leak.
Any defective or damaged container should be removed from service
immediately.
Caution
Park the truck on level ground before releasing the antiluce fastener on the
sliding gas bottle carrier.
LP gas can cause frostbite when released, due to its very low temperature.
When working with LP Gas the following Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) must be worn:
Goggles and neoprene gloves or gauntlets
Long sleeve cotton overalls or jacket
Safety shoes/boots
