The following information refers to United States regulations on propane. For outside the United States, owner, must assure that required
regulations are met.
The manufacturer would like to acknowledge NFPA 58, Standard for
Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, 1993 Edition. This
publication is available through the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in Quincy, Massachusetts (1-800-344-3555). The NFPA was
established to set guidelines for, among other things, the use of propane.
Propane is a flammable gas whose vapors are heavier than air. It can
explode under certain conditions. It is not different than other items
commonly used today which must be operated in a safe way such as
automobiles, gas stoves, airplanes, etc. Propane is odorized with an
agent with a distinct odor that is recognizable at very low concentrations. This helps in identifying leaks even when they are small.
Awareness and basic safely precautions are required. As long as these
precautions are followed, risk is negligible. Ignorance, however, could
pose needless risk. Therein lies the reason behind NFPA 58 and the
Safety Publication.
NFPA 58 categorizes propane-powered buffers with fork lift trucks, (see
section 3-6.4.4). In essence, the only difference between the two lies in
the ability of the buffer with its 20-pound tank to be stored in concealed
areas (like janitor closets, etc.).

If a machine and its tank of propane were stored in a closet and afire
occurred, the propane in the tank could be a threat to fire fighters due
to the potential for a B.L.E.V.E. (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion). Exposure of the tank to heat can also cause the relief valve to
open thereby releasing flammable vapors that can cause the fire to
intensify when ignited.
The NFPA Technical Committee prohibits the storage of such containers in buildings.

Avoid overfilling tanks. Only fill to 80% of capacity. The
manufacturer recommends that refueling be accomplished
by qualified personnel away from public buildings outside.
We further recommend that additional tanks be used so
that rather than refueling at the job site, a simple exchange
of tanks occurs.
DO NOT attempt to repair the propane tank yourself. Return tank to dealer
for repair.

meet the Department of Transportation guidelines contained in the
D.O.T. # 4ET240 and are additionally U.L. listed.
NFPA 58 discusses the major concerns for filling tanks properly in
Chapter 4. In summary, the tank should never be completely filled with
liquid. A tank that is completely full could create a hazard. The hazard is
known as a hydrostatic pressure situation.
To illustrate this situation, suppose the temperature outside is very cold
(perhaps well below freezing). You fill your tank outside and then bring
it inside where the temperature is maybe 60 degrees Fahrenheit or
warmer. An increase in air temperature will drive up the cylinder
pressure placing stress on the tank. Before reaching a critical pressure
point, the relief valve should open, relieving the pressure by venting
vapor at the top of the tank. However, if there is no vapor at the top of the
tank, this safety measure is compromised. Overfilled tanks do not allow
this built-in safety feature to function properly.

Overfilling a tank usually results in liquid flowing through the
hose and down into the regulator. This can result in damage
to the machine.
If you observe frost on the regulator, someone has overfilled the tank.
Take the tank to a safe outside location and vent the excess propane.
Venting is accomplished by:
1 Removing the tank from machine.
2 Taking tank outside of building to safe area.
3 Opening the small relief valve located on top of machine.
4 Keep tank upright.
5 Allow to vent until fuel vapor is not visible.
Whether the tank is filled by weight (most accurate) or by volume, using
a gage, make sure the person doing the filling is qualified.

Tanks (20Ib.) should not be stored in buildings used by the
public or frequented by anyone passing through or working
in the building. Inside storage in buildings designated as
shop or machinery facilities are acceptable.
Section 5-2.1.1 of the NFPA 58 says: “Containers in storage shall be so
located as to minimize exposure to excessive temperature rise, physical damage or tampering.”
Provision must be made for venting the actual storage area with both
floor level and high level openings. This venting assures that the heavier
than air propane gas will not settle in pockets, but disperse.
If storage is in a shop or machine storage area that is connected or a
part of an office complex, it should be separated by afire wall along with
proper venting to the outside.
Since these requirements can seldom be found, outside open air
storage is the most practical alternative.
When this option is used, the storage container may be located with
“zero” clearance from the building and with at least 5' of space between
the cage and the nearest building opening.
The tank must be in a secure, tamper-proof security storage enclosure
that provides safety from accident or vandalism.
CAUTION!CAUTION!
CAUTION!
CAUTION!CAUTION!
Tanks must always be stored in the upright position. The
upright position assures that the discharge is largely vapor
rather than liquid. This is important from the standpoint of
both the quantity of the potential flammable vapor/air mixture and the relieving capacity for the pressure relief device. (The escape of vapor presents much less hazard than
the escape of liquid).

The manufacturer recommends that tanks be removed from the machine after use and stored accordingly. The machine can then be
placed in a secure area inside, away from the tank.
