Daewoo Propane Forklifts Salem

Daewoo Propane Forklifts Salem

Change a Propane Tank

Forklifts powered by propane are common inside warehouse environments. These forklifts have a propane mount situated at the back of the operator. These tanks need to be replaced periodically since they have limited lifespans. Forklift operators must use caution when handling propane tanks. Compressed gases are dangerous, particularly because the gas is flammable. Utilize caution when removing and replacing propane tank to avoid being injured.



1 To change a propane tank, first stop the lift truck while leaving the engine running, and turn the valve on the tank off. Let the lift truck run until the engine dies. This process burns the gas off in the transfer hose that connects the tank and the engine. Before taking the second steps, wear the correct safety equipment, like for example insulated gloves made of either leather or neoprene. It is essential for you to protect your skin from contact with the compressed gas, which is very cold.

2 The hose of the tank has to be disconnected, followed by removing the tank from its holding straps. When you put in a new tank, reconnect the holding straps and reconnect the hose at the valve of the tank by tightening the nut.

3 Leaks can be checked simply by applying soapy water to the valve and opening it slightly. If there is a leak, it will cause bubbles to foam from around the valve. If this happens, inspect the valve area and the connection hose at the nut. Re-tighten the connecting nut if you detect any leaks in the valve area, and after that perform the leak checking procedure once more. Persistent leaks mean that both the connecting hose and nut must be replaced. However, if replacing the hose and nut still does not stop the leak, the tank should be replaced.

4 Open the valve all the way to allow the gas to fill the connecting hose. Afterward you could start the lift truck and continue operating.
