Components of the system that are subject to wear (e.g. regulator, hoses, etc) are to be
replaced where appliacable.
14. 6. Transport and storage
To avoid damaging the valve and to prevent gas leaks full and empty liquid gas
cylinders should only be transported and stored with a closed and protected valve
(water nut and cap).
When transporting in vehicles it must be ensured that there is adequate ventilation
in the storage area. The cylinders must be secured from shifting during transport.
The cylinders, even if they are empty, should only be stored upright in well
ventilated areas; they should not be stored below ground level (e.g. basements,
shafts, etc), in stairwells, corridors, passageway, near emergency exist, escape routes
and passages between buildings or in their immediate vicinity. No more than two
small cylinders should be stored in a home-and only when in separate rooms
(not bedrooms).
Any use of energy involves a risk of danger.
Therefore please observe there user/operating instruction!
