pin and tank.
NOTICE:
1. MOUNT THE TANK PROPERLY. Use
holes in the collar for horizontal mounting
and the slot in the foot ring for vertical
mounting to insure full usage of the fuel.
2. Open the valve slowly so the hose and tank
pressure can equalize or the valve may shut
off.
3. For proper operation of LP-Gas system,
use HD-5 LPB fuel.
Only trained, authorized personnel
should fill or exchange LP-Gas tanks.
Personnel engaged in filling LP-Gas
tanks should wear protective clothing
such as face shield, long sleeves and
gauntlet gloves.
Do not refuel or store LP-Gas powered
lift truck near underground entrances,
elevator shafts, or other places where
LP-Gas could collect in a pocket and

Examine all LP-Gas tanks before filling,
and again before reuse, for damage to
the valves, liquid gauge, fittings and
hand wheels.
All defective or damaged LP-Gas tanks
must be removed from service.
The careless handling of LP-Gas tank
can result in a serious accident.
