Propane Safety
Liquid petroleum gas (propane) is flammable and potentially explosive. ALWAYS obey proper handling,
lighting, and ventilating procedures provided by the manufacturer. In addition, obey the safety warnings
and procedures below, which are provided to supplement, not replace, or substitute for the
manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE:
All new propane tanks must be purged before use.
Precautions and Warnings
Wear insulated gloves when you handle propane tanks.
Do not attempt to adjust the pressure regulator because the manufacturer sets it. Only a qualified liquid
petroleum gas service technician should make any required adjustments.
Inspect the fuel lines and connectors before each job or at the beginning of the day, to detect any leaks or
potential problems. NEVER check for propane leaks with an open flame.
NEVER use ammoniated household-type detergents to detect leaks or to clean any portion of the fuel
system or the tank. These substances can cause cracks on brass fittings and on the fuel line. If the leak
cannot be located, take the tank to a certified liquid petroleum gas service representative.
NEVER store or carry propane containers in a closed space or inside your passenger vehicle. Propane
containers are equipped with safety devices that relieve excessive pressure by discharging gas to the
atmosphere and leaks can occur at the fittings or connectors.
NEVER fill a tank more than 80% of capacity. Overfilling can cause uncontrolled gas flow, which in turn,
can cause fire and/or explosion.
What to Do If You Smell Gas
1.) Immediately extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all smoking materials.
2.) Turn the engine OFF; do not touch any electrical switches or other device that may produce
sparks.
3.) Shut OFF the fuel flow switch.
4.) Open all doors and windows to allow maximum ventilation.
5.) Leave the area until the odor clears.
6.) Inspect the fuel lines and connectors to determine the source of the leak. Correct the problem
before you use the Terminator 2100XM again.
