5 Operation
Refuelling
CAUTION
Observe the following instructions:
Observe safety guidelines for LPG motor vehicles!
Cylinders should only be changed by persons who
have undergone training.
Before releasing pipe or hose connections, the
cylinder and main shut-off valves should be closed.
The connecting nuts on cylinders should only be
released slowly and only very little at first, as the
gas still in the line will squirt out.
Pipework and its accessories for gas in the liquid
phase and LPG containers must not be exposed to
an impermissible level of heat.
Removable LPG containers (LPG cylinders) must
be positioned on the vehicle so that they are hori-
zontal and the collar opening faces downwards.
Upon installation and removal, the gas outlet con-
nection of the cylinder valve must be sealed off by a
lock nut securely tightened with a wrench.
Before LPG cylinders are connected, their pipe
connections must be checked for perfect condition.
After removal, the cap of the cylinder must be im-
mediately screwed onto cylinders provided with a
lock nut.
Valves should be opened slowly!
Leaking gas cylinders should no longer be used.
They must be emptied immediately by being re-
leased outside, taking all precautions into account,
and marked as leaking.
If damaged gas cylinders are supplied, the provider
or his representative (service-station attendant
etc.) must be immediately notified of the damage
present, where possible in writing.
Explosions involving gas cylinders or LPG systems
must be immediately reported to the employers’
liability insurance association and the industrial
inspectorate responsible, even where no accident
occurs (applies to Germany). Damaged parts must
be kept until conclusion of the investigation. Follow
the national regulations for your country.
Removable LPG containers may only be changed
in storage rooms when there is no possibility of a
hazardous explosive atmosphere being produced.
WARNING
LPG can cause frostbite on the skin.
– Therefore, protective gloves
should always be worn.
