(1) Arrange for the modification or alteration to be designed, tested, and implemented by an engineer(s) expert in
carrier(s) and their safety;
(2) Maintain a permanent record of the design, test(s), and implementation of the modification or alteration;
(3) Make appropriate changes to the capacity plate(s), decals, tags, and operation and maintenance manuals;
(4) Affix a permanent and readily visible label on the carrier stating the manner in which the carrier has been mod-
ified or altered together with the date of the modification or alteration, and the name of the organization that
accomplished the tasks.
6.4 Fuel Handling and Storage
6.4.1 The user shall supervise the storage and handling of liquid fuels (when used) to be certain that it is in accor-
dance with ANSI/NFPA 505 and ANSI/NFPA 30 or as required by local ordinance.
6.4.2 Storage and handing of liquefied petroleum gas fuels shall be in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 505 and ANSI/
NFPA 58 or as required by local ordinance. If such storage or handling is not in compliance with these standards, the
user shall prevent the carrier from being used until such storage and handling is in compliance with these standards.
6.43 Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use only non-metal, portable fuel containers
approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). If using a fun-
nel, make sure it is plastic and has no screen or filter.
Static electric discharge can ignite gasoline vapors in an ungrounded fuel container. Remove the fuel container from
the bed of a carrier or the trunk of a car ban place on the ground away from the carrier before filling. Keep nozzle in
contact with container opening while filling. When practical, remove equipment from trailers or truck beds and re -fuel
them on the ground. If this is not possible, use a portable, plastic fuel container to refuel equipment on a truck bed or
trailer.
6.5 Changing and Charging Storage Batteries for Electric Personnel and Burden Carriers
6.5.1 The user shall require battery changing and charging facilities and procedures to be in accordance with ANSI/
NFPA 505 or as required by local ordinance.
6.5.2 The user shall periodically inspect facilities and review procedures to be certain that ANSI/NFPA 505 or as
required by local ordinance, are strictly complied with, and shall familiarize carrier operators with it.
6.5.3 Maintenance and storage areas for carriers shall be properly ventilated to avoid fire hazards in accordance
with applicable fire codes and ordinances.
Ventilation for internal combustion engine powered carriers shall be provided to remove flammable vapors (gases),
fumes and other flammable materials. Consult applicable fire codes for specific levels of ventilation.
Ventilation for electric powered carriers shall be provided to remove the accumulation of flammable hydrogen gas
emitted during the battery charging process. The amount of hydrogen gas emitted depends upon a number of factors
such as the condition of the batteries, the output rate of the battery charger and the amount of time the batteries are on
charge. Because of the highly volatile nature of hydrogen gas and its propensity to accumulate in pockets, a minimum
number of air changes per hour is required during charging.
Consult applicable fire and safety codes for the specific ventilation levels required as well as the use of explosion
proof electrical apparatus. SAE J1718 can be followed to check for hydrogen gas levels.
6.6 Hazardous Locations
6.6.1 The user shall determine the hazard classification of the particular atmosphere or location in which the carrier
is to be use in the accordance with ANSI/NFPA 505.
6.6.2 The user shall permit in hazardous areas only those carriers approved and of the type required by ANSI/NFPA
505.
