How to Read a Forklift LP or propane Bottle Gauge
There are essential safety reasons for forklift drivers to know how to read a propane bottle gauge on a forklift. The driver has to know when the forklift is almost out of gas. Some kinds of forklifts which are older are designed so that the forks lower to the ground slowly and the equipment shuts off automatically when the vehicle is out of fuel. This is very unsafe and can lead to product damage and personal injury. Newer types of forklifts are designed differently to prevent this from occurring. The operator could utilize a handle that stops the forks from falling when the propane runs out.

1 Make sure you know where the propane gauge is situated. Forklift propane gauge are a lot like an automobile's gas gauge. It is a small round object located either on the propane tank's valve or on the forklift dash where the rest of the gauges and controls are located.
2 Always keep the gauge cover clean so that the letters and lines behind the glass are legible.
3 Locate the indicator needle at the bottom of the gauge. This needle shows you how much fuel is still in the propane tank.
4 There are two letters on the gauge: F for full and E for empty. When the needle arm arrives at the letter E, it means that the propane tank is completely empty. When the needle arm arrives at the letter F, it means that the propane tank is completely full.
5 There is a line in the middle of the gauge. When the needle points at the middle line it means the tank is half full of propane.
6 Normally, there are smaller lines midway between the middle lines. These lines indicate quarters. When the needle arrives at the quarter mark closest to the F, it means there is three-fourths of a tank remaining. When the needle touches the quarter mark nearest E, the tank is one-fourth full.
