Refueling and Storage of Fuel
Cylinders
Amano Pioneer Eclipse uses the 20 lb. capacity aluminum
or steel Safe-Fill
® cylinder which meets the DOT 4E240
standards. These cylinders are also listed by UL. Filling
should be done
ONLY by a qualified propane dealer. FILL
THROUGH THE SERVICE VALVE ONLY . A properly filled
cylinder should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity.
DO NOT attempt Safe-Fill cylinder repair. Return the
cylinder to your propane dealer if repair is necessary.
Please note that DOT regulations prohibit shipping of
cylinders after the cylinder has been filled with propane.
When not in use, cylinders always should be stored
outside in an upright position in a secure, tamper-proof,
steel mesh storage cabinet. This cabinet may be located
next to the building but with at least five feet (1.5 m) of
space between the cabinet and the nearest building
opening (door or window).
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard
for Storage and Handling of LP Gas is the appropriate
authority for safe propane use. A copy of this publication is
