EXPERT TIP #1 PROPANE: FEULING AND RECHARGING 1. No smoking or use of open flames. 2. Shut off the valve with the machine running so fuel in the line will be used up and wait until the machine shuts off, then turn off the engine. 3. Propane is heavier than air and will hug the floor if there is a leak. 4. Make sure valves are seated properly and in excellent condition. 5. Smell is your best sense for detecting a leak. 6. Propane can cause a freeze burn if it comes in contact with skin. 7. Handle tanks carefully. 8. Do not refuel your forklift or store fuel tanks near heat sources. 9. Do not store fuel tanks in places where leaking gas can accumulate. 10. Check all couplings and fittings for deterioration or wear. 11. Wear proper protective gear such as gloves and eye protection.
