Danger

Risk of explosion! Do not handle liquified 
gas like petrol.  Petrol evaporates slowly, 
liquified gas immediately turns into gas.  
The risk of gas spreading in the room and 
getting ignited is thus higher in case of liq-
uefied gas than in petrol.

Danger

Risk of injury! Use only liquefied gas cylin-
ders with propellant filled according to DIN 
51622 of A or B quality, depending on the 
surrounding temperature.

Caution

Use of cooking gas is strictly prohibited. For 
the gas engine, use only liquid gas mix-
tures of propane/ butane or their mixtures 
where the mixing ratio lies between 90/10 
to 30/70. On account of better cold start be-
haviour even at low outside sub-zero tem-
peratures (below 0° C / 32 °F) always 
prefer a mixture with a higher propane 
share because evaporation takes place 
even at low temperatures.

All persons handling liquid gases are li-
able to acquaint themselves with the 
special properties of the liquefied gases 
for hazard-free handling of operations.  
The current documentation is always to 
be kept with the sweeper. 

Propellant-operated units are to be 
checked at regular intervals, at least 
once a year, by an expert against leaks 
(according to BGG 936) and ensure 
that the unit is functioning properly. 

The inspection must be certified and 
documented. The inspection guidelines 
are § 33 and § 37 UVV (occupation ac-
cident prevention regulations) "Use of 
liquid gas" (BGV D34). 

General applicable regulations are the 
guidelines for inspecting vehicles 
whose engines are driven by liquefied 
gases of the Federal Transportation 
Minister. 

Gas must always be drawn only from 
one cylinder. Drawing gas from multiple 
cylinders simultaneously can cause liq-
uid 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 
guidelines). 

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

Perform the replacement of the gas cylin-
der carefully. During assembly and disas-
sembly, the gas outlet nozzle of the 
cylinder valve must be sealed by means of 
a cap nut that is tightened using a wrench.

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. 

Fight liquid-gas fires only from a safe 
distance and with protection.
- use only dry powder carbon dioxide 
extinguishers or carbon dioxide gas ex-
tinguishers.
- use abundant water to cool the gas 
tank.

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 gas-
es 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.
