TERMINATOR® OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
RECOMMENDED SAFETY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
FOR LP GAS FUELED FORKLIFT TRUCKS
WARNING:
LP GAS is combustible fuel that is heavier than air. Escaping gas may accumulate in
low areas. The fuel cylinder should be mounted so that it does not extend outside the truck and should
also be properly positioned by using the locating pin or dey way.
The fuel valve should be turned off when the machine is not in service.
Use only Underwriters Laboratories or Factory Mutual listed LP-GAS hose assemblies where pressure
fuel lines are required.
All pipe threaded fittings should be installed using an approved sealing compound.
Fuel lines should be supported by clamps to minimize chafing and wear.
The LP-GAS solenoid valve should be wired to an automatic shut off switch (oil pressure or vacuum)
to prevent leakage of gas in the event the ignition is on without the engine running.
Check the propane solenoid or vacuum shutoff valve for leakage as follows:
1. Turn fuel cylinder valve off, start and run engine until it stops.
2.
Install a 0 to 30 PSI pressure gauge per instruction A or B.
A. Primary test prot of single units consisting of primary and secondary regulators.
B. Between the primary and secondary stage regulators when the propane system consists of two
separate regulators.
3. Turn cylinder fuel valve on. The pressure gauge should maintain a zero reading. If it does not, the
solenoid valve or vacuum shut off valve must be repaired or replaced.
An odor is added to LP-GAS to help detect leaks. If the gas odor is detected the fuel cylinder supply
valve and engine should be turned off. Remove all sources of ignition, and ventilate the area. Make
all of the necessary repairs before you turn the fuel supply on.
The complete LP-GAS system should be inspected periodically. Check all hoses for wear, connections
for leaks and all parts for damage.
NOTE: Fuel hoses have a limited life expectancy. They should be checked for cracking and drying
due to age. Hoses with visible signs of age should be replaced. Use only Underwriters Laboratories or
Factory Mutual listed LP-GAS parts for replacements.
NOTE: The above information is provided as a guide. Consult the National Fire Protection
Association pamphlet 58 for the safe storage and handling of liquefied petroleum gases.
Governmental safety regulations in your locality could vary. Check with the authority having
jurisdiction to be sure that you meet all of their requirements. Contact the manufacturer for detailed
service information.
