Used Daewoo Propane Forklifts Oxnard

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 have to be replaced from time to time as they have limited lifespans. Forklift drivers must use care when handling propane tanks. Compressed gases are hazardous, especially since the gas is flammable. Use caution when replacing and removing propane tank to prevent being injured.

1 To change a propane tank, first stop the lift truck and leave the engine running, and turn the valve on the tank off. Let the forklift run until the engine dies. This process burns off the gas inside 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 neoprene or leather. It is very important for you to protect your skin from touching the compressed gas, that is extremely cold.
2 The tank hose 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 could be checked just by applying soapy water to the valve and opening it slightly. If there is a leak, it will cause bubbles to froth from around the valve. If this happens, check the connection hose at the nut and the valve area. Re-tighten the connecting nut if you detect any leaks around the area of the valve, and then do the leak checking process again. Persistent leaks mean that both the connecting hose and nut will need to be replaced. Nonetheless, if replacing the nut and hose still does not stop the leak, the tank would have to be replaced.
4 Lastly, open the valve all the way to enable the gas to fill the connecting hose. After that you could start the forklift and resume operating.
