Safety 3
Safety regulations when handling consumables
The pressure of these gases in the container
depends on the external temperature and may
reachupto25barormore.
NOTE
In these operating instructions, liquid gases
are called LPG.
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
LPG immediately becomes gaseous
when it escapes; this means that a
hazardous explosive atmosphere
will occur at once.
DANGER
Risk of fire!
Not permitted: open flames (stoves,
storm lanterns, activities producing
sparks etc.), smoking in storage
rooms and when working on the LPG
system!
– With fires involving LPG only, car-
bon dioxide dry fire extinguishers
or carbon dioxide gas extinguis-
hers should be used.
DANGER
Risk of poisoning!
It must be ensured that trucks with
LPG systems are only operated in
rooms that are entirely or partially
enclosed if no hazardous concentra-
tions of exhaust constituents harmful
to health can be produced in the
room air.
CAUTION
Industrial trucks fuelled by LPG should only be par-
ked in rooms that are above ground level and have
adequate ventilation. They must not be parked
near openings to rooms below ground level.
Sufficient space must be left around trucks that
have been parked; such areas must not include
cellar openings or access points, pits or similar ca-
vities, drains without liquid traps, ventilation shafts
and light wells or combustible material.
