1.1. SAFETY MANAGEMENT
1-4
PRECAUTIONS WHEN REFUELING LPG TRUCKS
• Only trained and authorized personnel may fill or change LPG tanks.
• When checking or filling tank, do not smoke, stop the engine and fill only at designated safe areas, preferably
outdoors. Follow the filling and operating instructions in this manual.
• Before filling and reuse, check tanks for damage to valves, fittings and gauges or dirt in the openings.
• LPG is heavier than air and will sink to the lowest area possible. Avoid parking near areas near floor drains,
lubrication pits, or other areas where escaped fuel may collect.
• Ensure that the tank is securely mounted.
• Do not completely fill the tank to prevent overflow and fire hazard when the LPG expands.
• If there is LPG odor or frost on the fuel tank, do not start the engine. Park and tag the truck and have qualified
personnel inspect and repair the fuel system.
ENGINE EXHAUST GAS IS POISONOUS
Do not leave the engine running where there is poor ventilation.
The engine exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, which can
cause gas poisoning and result in serious injury or death.
FIRE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED DURING REFUELING
Fuel is extremely flammable and can cause fires and
explosions.
• Carry out refueling away from flames or sparks.
• Stop the engine when refueling.
• After refueling, tighten the gas cap securely and wipe up any
spilled fuel.
