Symbols in the operating instructions
DANGER
Immediate danger that can cause severe injury or even death.
WARNING
Possible hazardous situation that could lead to severe injury or even death.
CAUTION
Possible hazardous situation that could lead to mild injury to persons or damage to property.
Safety Guidelines for liquified gas vehicles (only KM 120/150 R LPG)
Hauptverband der gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschaften e.V. (HVBG / Germany). Liquified gases (propellants) are butane and propane or a mixture of butane/ propane. They are available in special cylinders. The operating pressure of these gases depends on the outside temperature.
Danger
Risk of explosion! Do not handle liquified gas like petrol. Petrol evaporates slowly, liquified gas immediately turns into gas.
The risk of gas spreading in the room and getting ignited is thus higher in case of liquefied gas than in petrol.
Danger
Risk of injury! Use only liquefied gas cylinders with propellant filled according to DIN 51622 of A or B quality, depending on the surrounding temperature.
CAUTION
Use of cooking gas is strictly prohibited. For the gas engine, use only liquid gas mixtures of propane/ butane or their mixtures where the mixing ratio lies between 90/10 to 30/70. On account of better cold start behaviour even at low outside sub-zero temperatures (below 0° C / 32 °F) always prefer a mixture with a higher propane share because evaporation takes place even at low temperatures.
Liabilities of the factory management and the employee
–All persons handling liquid gases are liable to acquaint themselves with the special properties of the liquefied gases for hazard-free handling of operations. The current documentation is always to be kept with the sweeper.
Maintenance by expert
–Propellant-operated units are to be checked at regular intervals, at least once a year, by an expert against leaks (according to BGG 936) and ensure that the unit is functioning properly.
–The inspection must be certified and documented. The inspection guidelines are § 33 and § 37 UVV (occupation accident prevention regulations) "Use of liquid gas" (BGV D34).
–General applicable regulations are the guidelines for inspecting vehicles whose engines are driven by liquefied gases of the Federal Transportation Minister.
Commissioning/Operations
–Gas must always be drawn only from one cylinder. Drawing gas from multiple cylinders simultaneously can cause liquid gas from one cylinder flowing into the other. This causes the over-filled cylinder to be subjected to an unpermitted excess pressure when the cylinder valve is closed later (refer B.1 of these guidelines).
–Ensure the correct positioning of the cylinder with the "top" marking while connecting a full cylinder (the connection screw points vertically upward).
Perform the replacement of the gas cylinder carefully. During assembly and disassembly, the gas outlet nozzle of the cylinder valve must be sealed by means of a cap nut that is tightened using a wrench.
–Discontinue the use of leaky gas cylinders. Such cylinders are to be emptied by slowly letting out the gas in open spaces by conforming to all safety regulations and are to be indicated as leaky. Also inform the issuing company or its representative (the filling-station attendant) in writing about the damage to the cylinder while delivering or receiving the cylinders.
–Before connecting the gas cylinder, check that its connection neck is in a proper state.
–After connecting the cylinder, regularly check that it is not leaky by using a foaming agent.
–Open the valves slowly. Do not use hammers to open and close the cylinders.
–Use only dry fire extinguishers (with carbonic acid gas) in case of fire caused by liquefied gases.
–The entire LPG unit must be continuously checked to ensure that there are no leaks and the unit is functioning properly. Using the vehicle with a leaky gas unit is strictly prohibited.
–First close the cylinder valve before loosening the pipe or tube connection. Unscrew and loosen the connection nut of the gas cylinder slowly because otherwise the gas under pressure in the tube will flow out instantly.
–If the gas is refilled from a larger tank, then ask the sales agent of the LPG about the important regulations to be followed.
Danger
Risk of injury!
–LPG in a liquid state can cause frost bites on bare skin.
–After disconnecting the cylinder, tighten the closing nut firmly on the connecting threading of the cylinder.
–Use soap water or some such foaming agent to check whether the cylinder is leaking. The use of open flames to illuminate the LPG unit is strictly prohibited.
–Follow the manufacturer's installation specifications while changing individual parts of the LPG unit. Close all cylinder and locking valves while doing so.
–Regularly check the status of the electrical unit of the LPG vehicles . Sparks can cause explosions if the gas-carry- ing parts of the unit are leaky.
–If a LPG-driven vehicle has been idling for a long time, then first ventilate the
4 |
EN - 2 |
setting room before commissioning the vehicle or its electrical unit.
–Immediately inform the trade association and the concerned trade supervisory authority about accidents with gas cylinders or LPG units. Store the damaged parts carefully until all investigations have been completed.
In the installation and storage rooms as well as the workshops
–Propellants or LPG cylinders must always be stored according to the regulations of TRF 1996 (Technical Regulations for Liquid Gases, refer DA to BGV D34, Appendix 4).
–Always store the gas cylinders in a vertical position. Use of open flames and smoking at the installation site of the cylinders and during repairs is strictly prohibited. Protect the stored cylinders against unauthorised access. Close all empty cylinders properly.
–Close the cylinder and main locking valves immediately when you switch off the vehicle.
–Follow the regulations for garages and the construction guidelines of the respective State about the location and structure of the parking areas for LPGdriven vehicles.
–Gas cylinders are to be stored in separate rooms away from the parking areas (refer DA to BGV D34, Appendix 2).
–The electrical hand-held lamps used in the rooms are to be equipped with closed, sealed case and a strong protection cover.
–Close all cylinder and main valves before working in repair workshops and protect the gas cylinders against effect of external heat.
–A responsible person must check that all valves, especially the cylinder valves, are closed during operational breaks and before closing the factory. Do not carry out any jobs involving fire - such as cutting and welding jobs - in the vicinity of the gas cylinders. Do not store gas cylinders, not even empty ones, in the workshops.
–The parking and storage rooms and the repair workshops must be ventilated properly. Please note that liquefied gases are heavier than atmospheric air. They get collected on the floor, in recesses and other holes in the floors and form a gas-air mixture that can lead to explosions.
