Gas must always be drawn only from 
one cylinder.  Drawing gas from multi-
ple cylinders simultaneously can cause 
liquid gas from one cylinder flowing into 
the other.  This causes the over-filled 
cylinder to be subjected to an unpermit-
ted excess pressure when the cylinder 
valve is closed later (refer B.1 of these 
guidlines). 

Ensure the correct positioning of the 
cylinder with the "top" marking while 
connecting a full cylinder (the connec-
tion screw points vertically upward). 

Replace cylinders carefully.  While con-
necting and disconnecting the gas cylin-
ders, the gas outlets of the cylinder valve 
must be closed properly by tightening the 
locking nuts with a spanner. 

Discontinue the use of leaky gas cylin-
ders.  Such cylinders are to be emptied 
by slowly letting out the gas in open 
spaces by conforming to all safety reg-
ulations and are to be indicated as 
leaky.  Also inform the issuing company 
or its representative (the filling-station 
attendant) in writing about the damage 
to the cylinder while delivering or re-
ceiving the cylinders. 

Before connecting the gas cylinder, 
check that its connection neck is in a 
proper state. 

After connecting the cylinder, regularly 
check that it is not leaky by using a 
foaming agent. 

Open the valves slowly.  Do not use 
hammers to open and close the cylin-
ders. 

Use only dry fire extinguishers (with 
carbonic acid gas) in case of fire 
caused by liquefied gases. 

The entire LPG unit must be continu-
ously checked to ensure that there are 
no leaks and the unit is functioning 
properly.  Using the vehicle with a leaky 
gas unit is strictly prohibited. 

First close the cylinder valve before 
loosening the pipe or tube connection.  
Unscrew and loosen the connection nut 
of the gas cylinder slowly because oth-
erwise the gas under pressure in the 
tube will flow out instantly. 

If the gas is refilled from a larger tank, 
then ask the sales agent of the LPG 
about the important regulations to be 
followed. 

Danger

Risk of injury!

LPG in a liquid state can cause frost 
bites on bare skin. 

After disconnecting the cylinder, tighten 
the closing nut firmly on the connecting 
threading of the cylinder.

Use soap water or some such foaming 
agent to check whether the cylinder is 
leaking. The use of open flames to illu-
minate the LPG unit is strictly prohibit-
ed.

Follow the manufacturer's installation 
specifications while changing individual 
parts of the LPG unit. Close all cylinder 
and locking valves while doing so.

Regularly check the status of the elec-
trical unit of the LPG vehicles . Sparks 
can cause explosions if the gas-carry-
ing parts of the unit are leaky.

If a LPG-driven vehicle has been idling 
for a long time, then first ventilate the 
setting room before commissioning the 
vehicle or its electrical unit. 

Immediately inform the trade associa-
tion and the concerned trade superviso-
ry authority about accidents with gas 
cylinders or LPG units.  Store the dam-
aged parts carefully until all investiga-
tions have been completed.

Propellants or LPG cylinders must al-
ways be stored according to the regula-
tions of TRF 1996 (Technical 
Regulations for Liquid Gases, refer DA 
to BGV D34, Appendix 4). 

Always store the gas cylinders in a ver-
tical position. Use of open flames and 
smoking at the installation site of the 
cylinders and during repairs is strictly 
prohibited.  Protect the stored cylinders 
against unauthorised access.  Close all 
empty cylinders properly. 

Close the cylinder and main locking 
valves immediately when you switch off 
the vehicle. 

Follow the regulations for garages and 
the construction guidelines of the re-
spective State about the location and 
structure of the parking areas for LPG-
driven vehicles.  

Gas cylinders are to be stored in sepa-
rate rooms away from the parking areas 
(refer DA to BGV D34, Appendix 2). 

The electrical hand-held lamps used in 
the rooms are to be equipped with 
closed, sealed case and a strong pro-
tection cover. 

Close all cylinder and main valves be-
fore working in repair workshops and 
protect the gas cylinders against effect 
of external heat. 

A responsible person must check that 
all valves, especially the cylinder 
valves, are closed during operational 
breaks and before closing the factory.  
Do not carry out any jobs involving fire - 
such as cutting and welding jobs - in the 
vicinity of the gas cylinders.  Do not 
store gas cylinders, not even empty 
ones, in the workshops.  

The parking and storage rooms and the 
repair workshops must be ventilated 
properly.  Please note that liquefied 
gases are heavier than atmospheric air.   
They get collected on the floor, in re-
cesses and other holes in the floors and 
form a gas-air mixture that can lead to 
explosions. 

The sweeper operates using the overthrow 
principle.

The side brushes (3) clean the corners 
and edges of the surface, moving dirt 
and debris into the path of the roller 
brush.

The rotating roller brush (4) moves the 
dirt and debris directly into the waste 
container (5).

The dust raised in the container is sep-
arated by the dust filter (2) and the fil-
tered clean air is drawn off by the 
suction fan (1).
