Changing LP Tanks
WARNING
Only trained, authorized personnel should fill or
exchange LP tanks.
Personnel engaged in filling of LP containers
should wear protective clothing such as face shield,
long sleeves and gauntlet gloves.
Do not refuel or store LP powered lift trucks near
any underground entrance, elevator shafts or any
other place where LP could collect in a pocket
causing a potentially dangerous condition.
Examine all LP containers before filling and again
before reuse, for damage to various valves, liquid
gauge, fittings and hand valve wheels.
All defective or damaged LP containers must be
removed from service.
Explosive fumes may be present during refueling.
Do not smoke in refueling areas.
Lift truck should be refueled only at designated safe
locations. Safe outdoor locations are preferable to
indoor locations.
Stop the engine and get off the lift truck during
refueling.
The careless handling of LP containers can result in
a serious accident.
Use extreme care when transporting containers to
prevent damage to them.
1. Park the lift truck on level ground, with the parking
brake applied, the transmission in NEUTRAL, the
forks lowered and the engine running at low idle.
2. Close the fuel inlet valve at the LP tank. Run the
engine until it stops, then turn off the ignition switch
and the electrical disconnect switch (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the fuel supply line.
4. Loosen the retaining clamps and remove the tank.
5. Check the mounting to be sure the locating pin
(dowel) is not missing or broken.
NOTICE

sure the pin is replaced.
