gas could find its way down to the floor and come in contact with a pilot light from a furnace, hot water heater, or
other source of ignition.

C). Exposing unprotected skin to propane gas or liquid could result in
frostbite injury.
All new cylinders should be vented and purged of air per manufacturer’s instructions before use. Never bleed
propane cylinders indoors.
5.15.2 STORAGE CYLINDERS
When not in use, propane cylinders always should be stored outside in an upright position in a secure,
tamperproof, 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), also away from
heat and direct sunlight.
Do not install the cabinet near a stairway or street elevator as vented propane gas will seek a lower level since it
is heavier than air and could find its way into the basement of the building. Do not store cylinders full or empty
inside a building or inside a vehicle. Although it is unlikely that propane will vent from a stored cylinder, if it
should, the vapor could come in contact with an ignition source such as a spark from a power tool or other
appliance and create a flash fire.
Do not smoke or use a device with an open flame when handling or transporting propane cylinders.
5.15.3 TRANSPORTING CYLINDERS
When transporting cylinders to a propane dealer or to a job, make sure the cylinders are securely fastened and
standing in an upright position with the service valve closed.
A cylinder rattling around in the back of a vehicle and banging into other objects constitutes a hazard. Avoid
dropping or banging cylinders against sharp objects.
The propane cylinders are sturdily constructed but a series of hard jolts could cause damage.
Please note that any cylinder that has been filled is always considered full, no matter how little propane gas
remains in it. This is because even when all liquid has evaporated into vapor there is still some propane gas vapor
left in the cylinder. Because this remaining fuel is flammable, an empty cylinder should be treated with the same
careful procedures as one that is filled to the 80% level with liquid propane. The only time that a cylinder is
considered empty is when it is new, before it has been filled with propane.
When transporting a propane powered floor machine, the propane cylinder may be strapped onto the
machine as long as the machine itself is firmly secured in the vehicle.
Of course, spare cylinders should always be secured in an upright position.
6. UNPACKING, HANDLING, TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
When unpacking the machine, please check that the following accessories are included:

- Hand wheel that is used for transportation (see fig.3);
If any of the above-mentioned parts are missing, please contact your local distributor or our sales representative.
Protect the environment: Please dispose of packaging materials and used machine components in an environmentally
safe way according to local disposal regulations.
