Safety Precautions
Operations on fuel system result in fuel liquid and vapour
being present in the working environment. This presents a
very serious risk and the following precautions must be
strictly observed:
WAR NI NG
OPERATIONS ON REFUELLING AND THE FUEL
SYSTEM MUST ONLY BE PERFORMED BY PERSONNEL WHO HAVE COMPLETED TRAINING ON FUEL HANDLING.
WAR NI NG
SMOKING MUST NOT BE ALLOWED NEAR THE
WORKING AREA. “NO SMOKING” SIGNS MUST BE POSTED AROUND THE WORKING AREA.
WAR NI NG
ANY OPERATION WHICH COULD INVOLVE SPARKS OR NAKED LIGHTS (E.G. BATTERY TESTING,
WELDING, METAL GRINDING, ETC.) MUST NOT BE ALLOWED NEAR THE WORKING AREA.
WAR NI NG
A CO2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER MUST BE AVAILABLE CLOSE AT HAND.
WAR NI NG
DRY SAND MUST BE AVAILABLE CLOSE AT HAND TO SOAK UP ANY ACCIDENTAL FUEL SPILLAGE.
WAR NI NG
IF NECESSARY, EMPTY THE FUEL INTO AN
EXPLOSION PROOF CONTAINER USING SUITABLE
FIREPROOF FUEL HANDLING EQUIPMENT.
WAR NI NG
THE WORKING AREA MUST BE WELL VENTILATED.
WAR NI NG
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE COMMENCING WORK ON THE FUEL SYSTEM.
WAR NI NG
DEPRESSURISE THE FUEL SYSTEM BEFORE DISCONNECTING ANY FUEL LINES.
