The LPG bottle/tank is located at the left hand side of the truck below the operator’s
cabin.
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
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 the LPG bottle/tank 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 signifies a leak.
Any defective or damaged LPG container should be removed from service
immediately.
Any leaking container must be moved (at least 3 metres/10 feet) away from the
truck immediately to a safe area free from all sources of ignition.
To Refuel:
Park the truck according to the proper parking procedure in a well ventilated
area.
Switch off the engine.
Refer to the gas bottle/tank suppliers instructions for filling the bottle/tank.
