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.
– Propellants or LPG cylinders must al-
ways be stored according to the regula-
tions of TRF 1996 (Technical
Regulations 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.
