• If the information in the two points above is not
followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious
injury may occur.
• An overfilled or improperly stored cylinder is a
hazard due to possible gas release from the safety
relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with
risk of property damage, serious injury or death.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately
get away from the LP cylinder and appliance and
call your fire department.
