Propane Fuel
WARNING
Propane presents the hazard of fire or explosion that can cause severe
personal injury or death. Do not permit any flame, spark, arc-producing
equipment, switch, pilot light, cigarette, or other ignition source near
the fuel system. Keep an ABC type fire extinguisher nearby.
WARNING
Fuel leaks can lead to explosive accumulations of gas. Propane sinks
in air and can accumulate inside housings, basements and other
below-grade spaces. Prevent gas leaks and the accumulation of
gaseous fuel in the event of a leak.
Use clean, fresh HD-5 grade propane or equivalent product consisting of at
least 90% propane.
NOTICE
NFPA Standard No. 58 requires all persons handling and operating
propane to be trained in proper handling and operating procedures.
