– Before connecting the filler nozzle, check
whether the LPG tank (1) or fittings (2) show
any defects and that the inspection interval
given on the container has not expired.
Inspection intervals required in the Pressure
Vessels Regulations must be complied with.
The most recent inspection date marked on
the container is the applicable date. Contain-
ers with an expired inspection date should not
be used. Follow the national regulations for
your country.
Filling may not be carried out if defects are
observed or if the inspection interval has been
exceeded.
Pipework and its accessories for gas in the
liquid phase and LPG containers must not be
exposed to an impermissible level of heat.
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 Ger-
many). Damaged parts must be kept until
conclusion of the investigation. Follow the na-
tional regulations for your country.
Removable LPG containers may only be
changed in storage rooms when there is no
possibility of a hazardous explosive atmos-
phere being produced.
NOTE
We recommend that you refuel before starting
work if the machine is still cold. If there is a
major difference in temperature between the
storage tank out in the open and the tank on
the truck, the delivery pressure of the pump
may no longer be sufficient for proper filling.
– Switch off the engine and heater.
