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 articial
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
conned 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 difculties.
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).

10.3 BATTERY
Inspect the battery (if equipped) at least once
every six months and before using the fuel trailer
at the beginning of the season. Always follow the
safety instructions when servicing a battery.
10.3.1 Battery Safety
1. Keep all sparks and ames away from
batteries, as gas given off by electrolyte
is explosive.
2. Avoid contact with battery electrolyte:
wash off any spilled electrolyte
immediately because battery acid can
cause severe chemical burns.
3. Wear safety glasses when working
near batteries.
4. Do not tip batteries more than 45 degrees, to
avoid electrolyte loss.
5. To avoid injury from spark or short
circuit, disconnect the battery ground
cable before servicing any part of the
electrical system. Never short circuit
the battery; it may explode.
6. Protect battery terminals, battery-
charger terminals, and cables against
accidental contact which can cause
sparks, explosions, or component
damage.
7. Never attempt to jump-start a frozen battery.
10.3.2 Battery Replacement and
Maintenance Tips
• Check the battery at least every six months for
low voltage, leakage, etc.
• Always use the correct size and type of battery.
When replacement is necessary, use a SP-30
Lawn and Garden battery with at least 225 CCA
and 290 CA ratings.
• Do not install the battery cable to the wrong
terminal. Make sure the RED cable is connected
to the + (plus) terminal and the BLACK cable is
connected to the – (minus) terminal.
• Remove the battery from the fuel trailer if not
expected to be in use for several months.
• Use recommended practices when recharging a
dead battery.
• Remove any corrosion from the battery post
using a wire brush terminal cleaner. Corrosion
can also be removed using a baking soda paste
and water to neutralize and remove the acid
from the battery terminals.
• Dispose of old batteries properly.
10.3.3 Battery Maintenance
1. Make sure the top of the battery box is
installed and in good condition (not cracked,
cut, or damaged).
2. The battery is not charged when the engine is
operating. If the battery is not charging using
an external charger, check the fuse. Replace
the fuse if necessary.
47
10.4 GASOLINE ENGINE (OPTIONAL)
Gasoline engines are not typically shipped with oil.
Check and add oil to engine prior to operating, as
needed.
For any questions concerning the gasoline engine
not provided in this manual, refer to the OEM
manual that was provided with the fuel trailer.
For contact information on the manufacturer, refer
to the OEM Literature section in this manual.
10.4.1 Approved Fuel
Use a regular unleaded automotive gasoline for
all operating conditions. The fuel tank capacity is
approximately 1 gallon (3.8 liters).
The fuel trailer engines are designed for good
performance and efcient 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 certied 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
oil for normal operating conditions. Consult your
engine manual for the recommended oil in cold
temperatures. The crankcase capacity is 1.16 US
qt. (1.1 liters).
10.4.3 Change Engine Oil
1. Review the Operator’s Manual for the engine.
2. Allow the engine to cool before changing the
oil. Draining works best when the oil is warm.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
Hot engine oil can burn skin.
3. Be sure the engine key switch is in the OFF
position and the fuel valve is turned OFF.
4. Place a suitable container below the engine to
catch the used oil. Remove ller cap (1), drain
plug (2), and washer.
5. Allow the oil to drain completely, then reinstall
the drain plug and washer. Tighten the drain
plug securely.
6. Dispose of the oil in an approved manner.
Follow local disposal regulations.
7. Fill the engine crankcase with SAE 10W-30 oil
for general usage. If the engine is operated
in more extreme conditions, refer to the OEM
manual for oil recommendations.
8. Run the engine for one minute and recheck
the oil level. Add oil as needed.
48
10.4.4 Air Filter Inspection
A dirty air lter will restrict air ow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance. If you operate the
engine in very dusty areas, clean the air lter more
often than specied 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.
The green indicator inside the circuit protector
will pop out to show that the circuit protector has
switched off. If this occurs, determine the cause
of the problem and correct it before resetting the
circuit protector.
Push the circuit protector button to reset.
49
10.4.6 Engine to Pump Connection
Check the coupling between the pump and engine
annually.
10.5 TRAILER BREAKAWAY SYSTEM
10.5.1 Testing the Battery
1. Disconnect the trailer plug from the tow
vehicle; otherwise, you are testing the tow
vehicle’s battery.
2. Press the green TEST button on the control
box located inside the frame of the trailer. The
green indicator light should illuminate if the
battery is fully charged. If the yellow or red
indicator lights illuminate, the unit’s battery
should be charged before towing the trailer.
IMPORTANT
If the battery is weak or dead (red indicator, even
after charging), as indicated by the indicator light,
the battery must be replaced.
3. Plug the trailer into the tow vehicle. The
yellow “Charging” light should be ON.
4. Test the system by pulling the pin out of the
breakaway switch. The battery will activate
the brakes. (Note: Do not use this kit as a
parking brake). The battery should be charged
and tested prior to each trailer outing.
10.5.2 Changing Battery
The battery in the breakaway system is
rechargeable. If the battery will not hold a charge,
replace the battery.
10.5.3 Replacing Battery
The battery in the breakaway system is
replaceable. If the battery will not hold a charge,
replace the battery. Contact the OEM supplier for
a replacement battery.
50
10.6 WHEEL BOLT TORQUE
1. Initially check the wheel bolt torque at 10, 25,
and 50 miles and after each wheel removal.
Note: Torque wrenches are the best method to
ensure the proper amount of torque is being
applied to a wheel nut.
WARNING
WHEEL SEPARATION HAZARD
Separation of wheels from the axle can cause
serious injury or death. To prevent separation,
the wheel nuts must be maintained at the proper
torque levels. Properly maintained wheel nuts
prevent loose wheels and broken studs.
2. Tighten the wheel nuts in three stages.
— First stage: 20 to 25 foot pounds.
— Second stage: 50 to 60 foot pounds.
— Third stage: 90 foot pounds.
