HOW TO ADD FUEL TO THE LIFT TRUCK
WARNING
Stop the engine. Turn the key switch to OFF. The op-
erator must be off of the lift truck while fuel is added.
No smoking.
All fuels for internal combustion engines are very
flammable.
Fill the fuel tank only in a designated area with good
ventilation. Have a fire extinguisher available.
Never fill the fuel tank near an open flame or near
equipment that can create sparks. Never check fuel
level or check for leaks with an open flame.
Breathing fuel vapor may cause nausea, uncon-
sciousness or death. Long term exposure to gasoline
vapors may cause liver or kidney damage and cancer.
Avoid breathing vapor.
Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)
WARNING
Close the fuel valve on the tank when parking the lift
truck more than momentarily.
Do not store LPG tanks near heat or open flame. Do
not park the lift truck near heat or ignition sources.
For complete instructions on the storage of LPG
fuels, refer to ANSI/NFPA 58 & 505.
LPG is extremely flammable. When checking or filling
an LPG tank: No smoking. Stop engine.
Frost or LPG odor indicates a leak. Inspect and repair
a leak immediately. Do not start the engine.
Only trained and authorized personnel are permitted
to operate filling equipment.
Fill LPG tanks outdoors. Stay at least 15 metres (50
feet) from buildings, motor vehicles, electrical equip-
ment or other ignition sources. Stay at least 5 metres
(15 feet) from LPG storage tanks.
Use the following procedure to remove the LPG tank:
1. Removable LPG tanks can be removed and re-
placed indoors only if the lift truck is at least 8
metres (25 feet) from any open flame or ignition
source.
2. Move the lift truck to the area where tanks are
changed.
