The capacity of the 4E240 cylinder is 20 lbs., 80% of the total capacity. Never allow a fuel cylinder to be
overfilled.
Have the cylinder
filled
at a reputable propane dealer and check it for
overfill
before accepting it.
Checking a cylinder for overfill
Always wear frost proof gloves and a face shield before attempting to check fuel cylinder for overfill.
1. T
ake to a safe area outside, away from open flames and cigarettes.
2.
Open the fixed liquid level gauge (bleeder valve).
3.
Observe the gas exiting from the valve: white cloud = overfilled, no cloud visible = SAFE!
4.
If overfilled, allow to vent until vapor is clea
r.
Do not attempt to repair a damaged propane cylinder yourself. Return the cylinder to your propane vendor
for authorized service.
ATTENTION:
Propane fuel cylinders, whether full or empty, should be stored outside the building in a
secure approved cylinder storage cabinet in accordance with
NF
PA58. Remove cylinder from machine when
not in use. Local authorities may have additional requirements for fuel cylinder storage. Always consult with
the local fire marshal for local codes.
CAUTION:
Propane fuel cylinders used on STONEKOR machines are VERTICAL cylinders and should
equipment. Never use a cylinder from a gas barbecue, for example, on this machine.
always remain in the vertical position, even when being transported or stored. This position assures the
pressure relief valve and other fittings are in direct contact with the vapor in the cylinder and not the liquid.
Liquid escaping from the cylinder as the result of a leak or overfilling will expand to 270 times the volume
of flammable vapor.
