Linde 1202 Series - Using LP Gas; Operating LP Gas-Powered Trucks

Using LP Gas
Operating LP Gas-Powered Trucks
WARNING
Compressed LP gas can cause injury or
death if mis-handled.
Only trained, authorized personnel
should fill or exchange LP gas tanks.
Protective clothing such as a face shield,
long sleeves, and long gloves (covering
the wrist) should be worn.
Do not refill removable LP gas tanks while
they are mounted on the truck.
Do not refuel or park LP gas-powered lift
trucks in confined areas or near underground
entrances, elevator shafts, or other places
where LP gas could collect and cause poten-
tial danger of an explosion. Ensure that the
area around any LP gas-powered truck is well
ventilated before switching on the electrical
system or starting the engine.
Do not leave the lift truck, for even a short
time, near equipment that generates high tem-
peratures. Ovens and furnaces are examples.
The heat may raise the pressure of the LP gas
in the tank to a dangerous level.
Close the hand wheel valve on the tank when
LP gas-powered lift trucks are parked over-
night or stored for long periods indoors with
the fuel tank in place. Close valves on empty
tanks.
WARNING
LP gas is extremely flammable.
Never use an open flame to check the
liquid level in the fuel tank or to check for
leaks in the LP gas lines or connection
fittings. Use a soap solution whenever
checking for leaks.
WARNING
Damaged or dirty LP gas tanks can leak or explode
under pressure.
Examine LP gas tanks before filling and before re-
use. Look for damage to the valve, liquid gauge,
fittings and hand wheels. Check for dents, scrapes or
other damage to the pressure vessel and for dirt or
debris in the openings.
WARNING
Leaking LP gas is a fire hazard.
Use a soap solution to inspect LP gas lines and con-
nection fittings for leakage after the tank is changed
or the lines have disconnected/reconnected for any
other reason. All defective or damaged components
must be repaired or replaced before using the truck.
