2.11 DIESEL FUEL SAFETY

2.11.1 Inhalation Hazard

DANGER

Always avoid breathing fuel vapors or

mists which may cause dizziness,

drowsiness, moderate eye irritation,

and/or skin irritation (rash). Excessive exposure

may cause irritations to the nose, throat, lungs,

and respiratory tract. Central nervous system

(brain) effects may include headache, dizziness,

loss of balance and coordination,

unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure,

and death.

In case of inhalation, remove person to fresh

air. If person is not breathing, provide articial

respiration. If necessary, provide additional

oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to

do so. Seek medical attention immediately.

2.11.2 Fire and Explosion Hazards

WARNING

Diesel fuel presents a moderate re

hazard. Vapors may be ignited rapidly

when exposed to heat, spark, open ame,

or other source of ignition. When mixed with air

and exposed to an ignition source, ammable

vapors can burn in the open or explode in

conned spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors

may travel long distances to an ignition source

and ash back. Runoff to sewer may cause re

or explosion hazard.

2.11.3 Ingestion

WARNING

The major health threat of ingestion

occurs from the danger of aspiration

(breathing) of liquid drops into the lungs,

particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may

result in chemical pneumonia (uid in the

lungs), severe lung damage, respiratory failure,

and even death. Ingestion will cause

gastrointestinal disturbances, including

irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and

central nervous system (brain) effects similar to

alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors,

convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma,

respiratory arrest, and death may occur.

In case of ingestion DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.

Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical

attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean

victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration.

Monitor for breathing difculties.

Small amounts of material which enter the

mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is

dissipated.

2.11.4 Eye Protection

WARNING

Safety glasses or goggles are

recommended where there is a possibility

of splashing or spraying. Contact with

liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation.

In case of contact with eyes, immediately

ush with clean, low-pressure water for

at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open to

ensure adequate ushing. Seek medical

attention.

18

2.11.5 Skin Protection

CAUTION

Contact with diesel fuel may cause skin

irritation with prolonged or repeated

contact. Wearing gloves constructed of

nitrile, neoprene, or PVC are recommended

when in close contact with diesel fuel. Chemical

protective clothing should also be worn. Long-

term, repeated exposure to diesel fuel may

cause skin cancer.

In case of contact with skin, remove

contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated

areas thoroughly with soap and water or

waterless hand cleanser. Obtain medical

attention if irritation or redness develops.

2.11.6 Storage Precautions

CAUTION

Keep away from ame, sparks, excessive

temperatures, and open ame. Keep

trailer ll port closed because an empty

tank may contain explosive vapors. Do not

pressurize, cut, heat, weld, or expose tanks to

sources of ignition.

Store the trailer in a well-ventilated area.

Avoid storage near incompatible

materials.

2.11.7 U.S. Federal, State, and Local

Regulatory Information

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Diesel fuel is on the EPA TSCA Inventory.

Any spill or uncontrolled release of this

product, including any substantial threat

of release, may be subject to federal, state

and/or local reporting requirements. This

product may also be subject to other regulations

at the state and/or local level. Always consult

the regulations applicable to your area prior to

operation.

2.12 BATTERY SAFETY

2.12.1 General Hazards

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Wear protective eye wear and gloves.

DO NOT attempt to recharge a frozen battery.

Remove the battery from the vehicle/equipment,

bring it into a warm room, and let it thaw before

charging or testing.

Inspect the battery cables to make sure they

are free of rust and corrosion and have no

exposed wires. Never use electrical tape to

cover exposed wires.

Automotive lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric

acid in the electrolyte. The acid inside the

battery is highly corrosive and can burn your

skin if it leaks out of the battery and gets on

your skin. Acid may leak out of the battery if the

case is cracked or damaged.

Maintenance-free batteries should always

remain in an upright position (do not turn it

sideways or upside down).

On equipment with a battery designed into

the fuel trailer, it is usually a good idea to

disconnect the battery before doing electrical

repairs. Disconnect the negative battery cable

from the battery to prevent accidental damage

to onboard electronics or wiring to prevent a

short circuit.

NEVER disconnect a battery when the ignition

is ON in the tow vehicle, or while the engine is

idling or running, as this can damage electrical

and/or electronic components in the tow

vehicle.

2.12.2 Ventilation Hazard

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Whenever servicing a battery, work in a well

ventilated area to prevent gas buildup.

19

2.12.3 Shock Hazards

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Batteries only produce 12 Volts so there is NO

danger of being shocked. However, 12 Volt

batteries can generate several hundred amps of

current, which is roughly the amount of current

used by a welding arc. Do not short the battery

by touching the positive or negative terminals

with a metal tool. This current is capable of

damaging tools, equipment, and causing

personal injury. It can also cause the battery to

explode.

Before working around a battery, remove

all jewelry, particularly rings and necklaces.

The electrical charge from a battery can be

transmitted through a metal tool and into a

metal ring or watch.

2.12.4 Explosion Hazards

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Always remove the battery’s ground cable

(black) before removing the positive (red). If the

negative cable is removed rst, it will not be

possible to inadvertently complete a circuit,

thus causing electrical shock.

A short circuit can occur if the positive terminal

is connected to the battery and the person

working with the battery comes into contact

with a grounded object. Always remove the

ground cable rst.

Do not smoke around a battery, or use anything

that produces an open ame or spark.

Batteries can explode. Batteries give off

hydrogen gas, which is ammable and can

explode if a spark occurs near the battery (as

when connecting a jumper cable).

all operating conditions. The fuel tank capacity is

approximately 1 gallon (3.8 liters).

The fuel trailer engines are designed for good

performance and efcient operation using gasoline 

containing from 0 to 10% ethanol.

NOTICE

E85 is an alternative fuel and Meridian’s equipment

is not designed for this type of fuel. E85 is not

gasoline. It is made by combining 85% ethanol

with 15% gasoline. The fuel trailer engine is not

currently certied or designed to run on E85 or any

other alternative fuel.

Always refer to the OEM Owner’s manual for a list

of recommended fuel and the current approved

additives.

10.4.2 Engine Oil

Use a typical SAE 10W-30 multi-viscosity motor

reducing engine performance. If you operate the

engine in very dusty areas, clean the air lter more 

often than specied in the maintenance schedule.

1. Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the

lter and foam cover weekly.

2. Remove any debris from the foam cover.

Thoroughly clean or replace the foam cover

every three months or 50 hours of operation

(clean it more frequently when used in dusty

conditions).

3. Clean or replace dirty lter elements.  Always 

replace damaged lter elements.

NOTICE

Operating the engine without an air lter, or with a

damaged air lter, will allow dirt to enter the engine,

causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is

not covered by any warranty.

4. Replace the cover.

10.4.5 Engine Circuit Protection

The circuit protector protects the battery charging

circuit. A short circuit, or a battery connected with

reverse polarity, will trip the circuit breaker.
