HOW TO ADD FUEL TO THE LIFT TRUCK
WARNING
Stop the engine. Turn the key switch to OFF. The op-
erator must be off of the lift truck while fuel is added.
No smoking.
All fuels for internal combustion engines are very
flammable.
Fill the fuel tank only in a designated area with good
ventilation. Have a fire extinguisher available.
Never fill the fuel tank near an open flame or near
equipment that can create sparks. Never check fuel
level or check for leaks with an open flame.
Breathing fuel vapor may cause nausea, unconscious-
ness or death. Long term exposure to gasoline va-
pors may cause liver or kidney damage and cancer.
Avoid breathing vapor.
Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)
WARNING
Close the fuel valve on the tank when parking the lift
truck more than momentarily. Do not park the lift truck
near heat or ignition sources.
Do not store LPG tanks near heat or an open flame.
For complete instructions on the storage of LPG fuels,
refer to ANSI/NFPA 58 & 505.
LPG is extremely flammable. When checking or filling
an LPG tank: No smoking. Stop engine.
Frost on the surface of the tank, the valves or fittings
and the odor of LPG fuel indicates a leak. Inspect the
LPG system and repair a leak immediately. An LPG
fuel leak creates an explosion and fire hazard. Do not
attempt to start the engine if there is a leak in the LPG
fuel system.
Only trained and authorized personnel are permitted
to operate filling equipment.
Fill LPG tanks outdoors. Stay at least 15 metres (50
feet) from buildings, motor vehicles, electrical equip-
ment or other ignition sources. Stay at least 5 metres
(15 feet) from LPG storage tanks.
