26 OPERATION
COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS SYSTEM
CNG Fueling
Refer to
Fuel System Installer
for fueling/defueling requirements.
WARNING
COVER EYES AND EXPOSED SKIN.
Accidental contact with the eyes or skin
may cause a freezing injury similar to
a burn. Protect the eyes and cover the
skin whenever possible contact with
supercooled metals or gases exists.
DANGER
KEEP THE EQUIPMENT AREA
WELL VENTILATED. Although CNG
is non-toxic, it can cause asphyxiation
in a confined area without ventilation.
Any atmosphere that does not contain
enough oxygen for breathing can
cause dizziness, unconsciousness, or
even death. Even though CNG is
odorized, under certain circumstances,
in a refuse vehicle for example, it
may not be detected by human senses.
Without adequate ventilation, natural
gas will displace the oxygen and give
no warning that a non-life supporting
atmosphere is present. Store CNG in a
well ventilated area.
DANGER
KEEP AWAY FROM FLAME OR
SPARK. Natural gas is flammable.
Before fueling, connect the fuel tank to
the ground cable at the fueling station.
Smoking, open flames, and general
purpose electrical equipment shall be
prohibited where compressed natural
gas is stored or handled.
DANGER
Fueling stations and fueling situations
differ. Do not fill a CNG tank without
first going through the procedures with
the assistance of experienced personnel.
DANGER
Failure or improper selection or
improper use of this product can cause
death, personal injury and property
damage, including, but not limited
to electrocution, fluid injection or
loss of limb caused by high pressure
leak, dangerously whipping hose, fire
explosion or contact with suddenly
moving or falling objects.
