LP GAS WARNINGS

• Disconnected cylinders must have valve dust caps installed and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.

• Dented or rusted propane cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your
propane gas supplier.

required by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Canadian Standards
Steering Committee.
• Only tanks marked "propane" may be used.
• The LP gas supply tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications
for LP gas LP gas tanks of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, LP gas tanks, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation

increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.
