Kärcher KM 90/60 R LPG Adv Mode D'emploi page 22

– First close the cylinder valve before
loosening the pipe or tube connection.
Unscrew and loosen the connection nut
of the gas cylinder slowly because oth-
erwise 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 illu-
minate the LPG unit is strictly prohibit-
ed.
– 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 elec-
trical 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
setting room before commissioning the
vehicle or its electrical unit.
– Immediately inform the trade associa-
tion and the concerned trade superviso-
ry authority about accidents with gas
cylinders or LPG units. Store the dam-
aged parts carefully until all investiga-
tions have been completed.
In the installation and storage rooms as
well as the workshops
– Propellants or LPG cylinders must al-
ways be stored according to the regula-
tions of TRF 1996 (Technical Regula-
tions for Liquid Gases, refer DA to BGV
D34, Appendix 4).
– Always store the gas cylinders in a ver-
tical 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 re-
spective State about the location and
structure of the parking areas for LPG-
driven vehicles.
– Gas cylinders are to be stored in sepa-
rate 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 pro-
tection cover.
– Close all cylinder and main valves be-
fore 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 gas-
es are heavier than atmospheric air.
They get collected on the floor, in re-
cesses and other holes in the floors and
form a gas-air mixture that can lead to
explosions.
