EmissionsShutDownSystems:Propaneengine
fuel systems can be fitted with safety devices
and shut-off valves that function automatically
if the emissions become too high or a fuel line
is ruptured. If your machine is equipped with a
shut down device, do not attempt to circumvent

Other Areas for Safety with Propane
Propane Fuel Cylinders: The National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) has established
standardsforthestorageandhandlingofliquefied
petroleum gases. This standard is NFPA58 and
is recognized in the United States and Canada as
wellassomeothercountries.Forothercountries

allow a fuel cylinder to be overfilled. Have the
cylinder filled at a reputable propane dealer and
checkitforoverfillbeforeacceptingit.
OPD: The supplied cylinder is also fitted with
an overfill protection device (OPD) that prevents
overfillingofapropanecylinder.
Cylinder Filling: Before having a cylinder
refilledexaminethecylinderfordamage,including
dents, bulges or cracks on the container surface,
rusting,particularlyonthebottomofthecylinder,
missing cylinder foot ring, collar or valve cover,
manufacture or recertification date, and OPD
valve.Thesearethingsthatcanrenderthecylinder
unusableanddangerous.Cylindersareonlyusable
for12yearsfromthedateofmanufactureandmust
berecertifiedevery5years.
Checking a Cylinder for Overfill: Always
wear frost proof gloves and a face shield before
attemptingtocheckfuelcylinderforoverfill.
1. Take to a safe area outside, away from open
flamesandcigarettes.
2. Open the fixed liquid level gauge (bleeder
valve).
3. Observethegasexitingfromthevalve:white
cloud = OVERFILLED; no cloud visible =
SAFE!
4. Ifoverfilled,allowtoventuntilvaporisclear.
Do not attempt to repair a damaged propane
cylinder yourself. Return the cylinder to your
propanevendorforauthorizedservice.
Cylinder Storage & Transportation: Propane
fuel cylinders, whether full or empty, should
be stored OUTSIDE the building in a secure,
approved cylinder storage cabinet in accordance
with NFPA58. Do not store cylinders near other
flammableorcombustiblematerials.Thepropane
fuelcylindersthatEaglemachinesusearevertical
cylindersandshouldalwaysremaininthevertical
position, even when being transported or stored.
This position assures the pressure relief valve
and other fittings are in direct contact with the
