To avoid injury from an explosion of natural gas, the
following precautions must be taken:
□ Do not smoke when installing or servicing the engine
or fuel system.
□ Installation or servicing of natural gas equipment
must only be conducted in well ventilated, natural
gas-compatible areas. Do not install or service
equipment in an enclosed area where ignition sources
are present without first ensuring that an undetected
gas leak may be safely vented without being ignited.
□ Bleed natural gas lines before installing or servicing any
component connected to the fuel lines.
□ Natural gas fuel systems are pressurized. Relieve
pressure from any fuel system component prior to
installation or service of that component.
□ Use a combustible-gas detector. Liquefied natural gas
(LNG) is odorless and cannot be detected by smell.
Compressed Natural gas (CNG) may be odorless and
may not be detected by smell.
□ Equipment fuel systems are the responsibility of the
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Equipment
fuel system guidelines must be closely adhered to
when installing or servicing equipment. Refer to OEM
guidelines specifying which maintenance procedures
require venting of fuel lines and fuel tanks.
□ LNG systems are pressurized and contain extremely
cold (-162
OEM for LNG safety requirements. Contact with LNG
may cause personal injury (freezing).
□ Vent systems on the equipment should be ducted to a
safe area whenever equipment is in an enclosed area.
