IF YOU SMELL GAS

1. NO FLAMES OR SPARKS!

Immediately put out all smoking

materials and other open flames.

Do not operate lights, appliances,

telephones, or cell phones.

Flames or sparks from these sources

can trigger an explosion or a fire.

2. LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY!

Get everyone out of the building or area

where you suspect gas is leaking.

3. SHUT OFF THE GAS. Turn off the main

gas supply valve on your propane tank

if it is safe to do so. To close the valve,

turn it to the right (clockwise).

4. REPORT THE LEAK. From a

neighbor’s home or other nearby

building away from the gas leak,

call your propane retailer right away.

If you can’t reach your propane retailer,

call 911 or your local fire department.

5. DO NOT RETURN TO THE BUILDING

OR AREA until your propane

retailer, emergency responder,

or qualified service technician

determines that it is safe to do so.

6. GET YOUR SYSTEM CHECKED.

Before you attempt to use any of

your propane appliances, your

propane retailer or a qualified service

technician must check your entire

system to ensure that it is leak-free.

CAN YOU SMELL IT?

Propane smells like rotten eggs, a skunk’s

spray, or a dead animal. Some people

may have difficulty smelling propane

due to their age (older people may

have a less sensitive sense of smell);

a medical condition; or the effects of

medication, alcohol, tobacco, or drugs.

ODOR LOSS. On rare occasions,

propane can lose its odor. Several

things can cause this including:

•

The presence of air, water, or rust

in a propane tank or cylinder

•

The passage of leaking

propane through the soil

Since there is a possibility of

odor loss or problems with

your sense of smell, you

should respond immediately

to even a faint odor of gas.

PROPANE GAS DETECTORS

Under some circumstances, you may

not smell a propane leak. Propane gas

detectors sound an alarm if they sense

propane in the air. They can provide

an additional measure of security.

You should consider the purchase of

one or more detectors for your home.

GUIDELINES regarding

propane gas detectors:

•

Buy only units that are listed

under the latest Underwriters

Laboratories (UL) standard.

•

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions

regarding installation and maintenance.

•

Never ignore the smell of

propane, even if no detector

is sounding an alarm.

APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE

LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS.

Only a qualified service technician has

the training to install, inspect, service,

maintain, and repair your appliances.

Have your appliances and propane

system inspected just before the

start of each heating season.

DO NOT TRY TO MODIFY OR REPAIR

valves, regulators, connectors, controls, or

other appliance and cylinder/tank parts.

Doing so creates the risk of a gas leak

that can result in property damage,

serious injury, or death.

CO AND YOUR SAFETY

WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)?

You can’t taste or smell CO, but it is a

very dangerous gas. High levels of CO

can come from appliances that are not

operating correctly, or from a venting

system or chimney that becomes blocked.

CO CAN BE DEADLY! High levels of CO

can make you dizzy or sick. In extreme

cases, CO can cause brain damage

or death. Symptoms of CO poisoning

include: headache, dizziness, fatigue,

shortness of breath, and nausea.

IF YOU SUSPECT CO IS

PRESENT, ACT IMMEDIATELY!

1. If you or a family member shows

physical symptoms of CO poisoning,

get everyone out of the building and

call 911 or your local fire department.

2. If it is safe to do so, open windows

to allow entry of fresh air, and

turn off any appliances you

suspect may be releasing CO.

3. If no one has symptoms, but you

suspect that CO is present, call

your propane retailer or a qualified

service technician to check CO levels

and your propane equipment.

CO DETECTORS CAN IMPROVE

SAFETY. For an extra measure of safety,

consider installing a CO detector listed

by UL on each level of your home.

TO HELP REDUCE THE RISK

OF CO POISONING:

•

Have a qualified service technician

check your propane appliances and

venting systems annually, preferably

before the heating season.

•

Install UL-listed CO detectors

on every level of your home.

•

Never use a gas oven or range-top

burners to provide space heating.

•

Never use portable generators

indoors unless they are designed

and approved for indoor use.

•

Never use a barbecue grill

(propane or charcoal) indoors

for cooking or heating.

•

Regularly check your appliance

exhaust vents for blockage.

RUNNING OUT OF GAS

DON’T RUN OUT OF GAS.

SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS,

INCLUDING FIRE OR

EXPLOSION, CAN RESULT.

•

If an appliance valve or a gas line is

left open, a leak could occur when the

system is recharged with propane.

•

If your propane tank runs

out of gas, any pilot lights on

your appliances will go out.

This can be extremely dangerous.

•

A LEAK CHECK IS REQUIRED.

In many states, a propane retailer or

a qualified service technician must

perform a leak check of your propane

system before turning on the gas.

LIGHTING PILOT LIGHTS

Note: This generator does

not have a pilot light.

IF A PILOT LIGHT REPEATEDLY

GOES OUT or is very difficult to light,

there may be a safety problem.

DO NOT try to fix the problem yourself.

It is strongly recommended that only a

QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN

light any pilot light that has gone out.

YOU ARE TAKING THE RISK of

starting a fire or an explosion if you light

a pilot light yourself. Carefully follow

all of the manufacturer’s instructions

and warnings concerning the appliance

before attempting to light the pilot.
