Used Daewoo Propane Forklifts Berkeley

Change a Propane Tank
Propane fueled forklifts are normally used inside warehouses. The forklift is designed with the propane tank mounted at the back of the operator. The tanks, that look much like beer kegs, need to be replaced periodically since they have a limited lifespan. Forklift drivers must utilize caution when handling propane tanks. Compressed gases are very dangerous, especially because the gas is flammable. Utilize care when replacing and removing propane tank to avoid injury.

1 To change a propane tank, first stop the lift truck and leave the engine running, and turn off the valve on the tank. Let the lift truck run until the engine dies. This procedure burns off the gas in the transfer hose which connects the tank and the engine. Prior to taking the next steps, wear the correct safety equipment, like for instance insulated gloves made of either leather or neoprene. It is very essential for you to protect your skin from touching the compressed gas, which is very cold.
2 Disconnect the hose from the tank and take off the holding straps to remove the tank. When you put in a new tank, tighten the nut to reconnect the holding straps and to reconnect the hose at the valve of the tank.
3 You can inspect for leaks by applying soapy water to the valve and opening it slightly. Leaking gas would cause bubbles to froth around the value. If this happens, check 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 afterward perform the leak checking process again. Persistent leaks mean that both the nut and connecting hose should be replaced. Then again, if replacing the hose and nut still does not stop the leak, the tank must be replaced.
4 Open the valve all the way to allow the gas to fill the connecting hose. Then you could start the forklift and resume working.
