• If you smell propane while operating a propane floor machine, do the following:
1. Stop the engine: Push the throttle to the stop position turn the key switch to the off position.
2. Shut off the service valve on the propane cylinder.
3. Move the floor machine to a well-ventilated area.
4. Remove the cylinder from the machine and take it outside the building.
5. If the cylinder is leaking, contact a DOT approved repair shop to determine the cause of the
leak and have the shop, not you, repair it.
• If a fire occurs while the machine is being operated do the following:
1. Stop the engine: pull the throttle to the stop position (if present) or turn the key switch to the
off position.
2. Shut off the service valve on the propane cylinder if possible. Be careful not to be burned.
3. Move the machine outside if possible. If not possible, move it to a well-ventilated area away
from flammable materials.
4. Do not attempt to extinguish the flame from a gas leak. If you do, the gas will build up in the
area and could re-ignite. Starve the fire by shutting off the supply of gas.
5. Have the machine and cylinder inspected before using them again.
2.7 Local agencies and regulations
2.7.1 • NFPA
Operating a propane powered floor machine requires compliance with certain safety regula -
tions.
The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) Standard for Storage and Handling of LP Gas is
the appropriate authority for safe propane use. A copy of this publication is available through
the NPFA in Quincy, MA (1-800-334-3555). Among its regulations, NFPA #58 requires that all
personnel employed in the handling of propane gas be trained in its proper handling and
operating procedures. It also requires them to carry a written certification from their employer
or training supervisor to attest to such training. Although this is directed mainly to those who
fill and transport liquid propane gas, Onyx Environmental Solutions recommends that opera -
tors of propane powered floor care machines in public places be trained and certified as well.
With regard to operation of propane powered floor care equipment, even though NFPA 58
8-4.5 says ”these machines shall be permitted to be used in buildings frequented by the
public, including the times when such buildings are occupied by the public,” Onyx Environme-
ntal Solutions suggests usage when occupancy of a given work area is minimal.
• CARB/EPA
The California Air Resource Board (CARB) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also set
limits for propane-powered engines used outdoors, but CARB/EPA approval does not signify
that the engine is safe to use indoors.
• CGA
The Canadian Gas Association (CGA) has set a limit of 1500 ppm CO in exhaust flow.
