TRANSPORT
When transporting a propane-powered floor machine with the fuel cylinder installed,
the cylinder should be securely fastened with the service valve closed and the machine
should be secured in the vehicle. Any propane fuel cylinders not installed should be
securely fastened to avoid movement and damage. Never store machine with cylinder
installed or store spare cylinders in an enclosed vehicle. It is a good practice to check
propane cylinders for overfilling before transporting them. If overfilled, correct before
loading them in the vehicle by venting the excess propane outside in a safe area using
the bleeder valve.
MACHINE STORAGE
Only authorized, trained personnel should have access to propane cylinders and ma-
chines.
1. Remove propane fuel cylinder when not in use and store it outside in a storage
cage in accordance with NFPA Handbook 58 CAN/CGAB149.2. Do not release or
bleed propane inside the building. Please consult your local Fire Marshal to ensure
that you are in compliance with local fire codes.
2. Store machine away from objects that may fall and damage it.
3.
Never store machine or fuel cylinders near an open flame or heat-producing device.
4. Make sure machine is cleaned properly before storing.
5. Never store machine with cylinders installed, or store spare cylinders in an en-
closed van or trailer.
6. Store machine in a dry location, temperature not to exceed 120°F (50°C).
