Before refueling a propane (LPG) forklift, what should the operator do first?
Answer: Turn off the engine and remove the key
The engine must be shut off and the ignition key removed before any fuel connection is handled.
Where should LPG forklift refueling ideally take place?
Answer: In a well-ventilated outdoor or open area
Propane refueling should occur outdoors or in a well-ventilated area to prevent gas accumulation.
What personal protective equipment is required when changing an LPG cylinder?
Answer: Insulated gloves and eye protection
Gloves protect against cold-burn from escaping liquid propane and eye protection guards against splash.
After connecting a new propane cylinder, what should you check before starting?
Answer: The connection for leaks using a soapy solution or sniff test
Checking the fitting for leaks prevents a fire or explosion hazard before operation.
Which position should the LPG cylinder relief valve point when mounted?
Answer: Upward into the vapor space
The pressure relief valve must sit in the vapor space (usually indicated by an alignment pin) to vent gas, not liquid.
If you smell propane while refueling, what is the correct action?
Answer: Close the service valve, stop, and ventilate the area
Shutting the valve and ventilating stops the leak and disperses the gas safely.
Why must the service valve on the LPG cylinder be fully closed before disconnecting?
Answer: To prevent liquid propane from spraying out
A closed service valve stops pressurized liquid propane from escaping when the coupling is removed.
