Fluid Containment
NOTICE
Where spillage containment is not part of a Cummins supply, it is the
responsibility of the installer to provide the necessary containment to
prevent contamination of the environment, especially water courses and
sources.
If fluid containment is incorporated into the bedframe, it must be inspected at
regular intervals. Any liquid present should be drained out and disposed of in line
with local health and safety regulations. Failure to perform this action may result in
spillage of liquids which could contaminate the surrounding area.
Any other fluid containment area must also be checked and emptied, as described
above.
1.8 Exhaust Gases Are Deadly
Provide an adequate exhaust system to properly expel discharged gases away
from enclosed or sheltered areas, and areas where individuals are likely to
congregate. Visually and audibly inspect the exhaust system daily for leaks per
the maintenance schedule. Make sure that exhaust manifolds are secured and
not warped. Do not use exhaust gases to heat a compartment.
Make sure the unit is well ventilated.
