4-7.2 General Safety - Cont'd.
CAUTION
DAMAGED, PIPE, FITTINGS, VALVES
Damaged pipe, fittings, and valves must be inspected by a qualified person immediately and
removed from service if damage is severe enough to justify it. Pipe, fittings, and valves that
show a visible crack or substantial leakage should be removed from service immediately.
CAUTION
CUT OR SCORED HOSE
Consider cut, scored or badly deformed hose to be unsuitable for service. Replace at first
possible opportunity. Broken or leaking hose must be depressured and replaced
immediately. Failure to do so can result in a failure of operations at an inappropriate time and
in the creation of a severe fire hazard. Refer to paragraphs 4-17 thru 4-17.5 for depressurizing
procedures.
WARNING
GROUNDING
All equipment, devices, machinery, hoses and piping must be grounded to avoid static
electricity discharge. When loading or filling vehicles, make sure the fuel dispensing system
is grounded. If a grounding strap is present and intact, connect it to the vehicle frame. Touch
the fill nozzle against the vehicle's metal prior to opening the filling valve to discharge any
static charge before fuel vapor is present, if grounding strap is not there for some reason..
WARNING
SYSTEM OVERPRESSURE
Make sure that the systems from which the TPT is receiving fuel or to which the TPT is
transferring fuel are incapable of overpressuring the TPT hose and valve system which is
rated at 150 psi. Overpressure can result in a serious failure, causing personnel injury and
fire.
WARNING
CLEAN OPERATING AREAS
Keep operating areas cleaned up and picked up. Remove any unnecessary equipment, trash,
large rocks etc. Such can be tripped over during the rush of operation and cause personal
injury.
