Safe Usage Guidelines

Installing the Fuel Valve

Install the fuel valve according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is properly connected to the fuel system.Check that all connections are secure and tight before starting to use the valve.The valve should be mounted in an easily accessible location, allowing for convenient operation and control when needed.

During Use of the Fuel Valve

Always ensure the valve is fully closed during transport or when the engine is not running to prevent unwanted fuel leaks.Never open the fuel valve while the engine is running to avoid the risk of ignition or fire.Avoid sudden changes in fuel flow. If adjustment is needed, do it gradually.Use the fuel valve only for the fuels it was designed for. Ensure the valve is compatible with the type of fuel (e.g., gasoline, diesel) used on the vessel.

After Use

After use, always close the fuel valve to prevent fuel leakage and enhance safety.If the valve is used in an area exposed to moisture or water, regularly check the condition of seals and connections to prevent corrosion and damage.

Regular Inspection and Maintenance

Checking the Technical Condition

Regularly inspect the fuel valve for mechanical damage, such as cracks or leaks.Check seals and connections to ensure they have not worn out or been damaged, which could lead to fuel leakage.If any irregularities are detected, replace the valve or its components immediately.

Cleaning

If necessary, rinse the fuel valve with clean water to remove contaminants, but avoid contact with chemicals that could damage the valve material.Use only cleaning agents recommended by the manufacturer to avoid damaging the materials the valve is made from.

Storage

Store the valve in a dry place, away from heat sources, fire, and direct sunlight.The valve should be stored in a location that protects it from mechanical damage and excessive pressure.

Emergency Situations

Fuel Leak:

If a fuel leak occurs, immediately close the valve, if possible. Check the cause of the leak and replace any damaged components.Fuel leakage can be dangerous, so take immediate corrective action.

Clogged Valve:

If the valve stops working properly or becomes difficult to open or close, check if it is clogged or damaged. If necessary, clean it or replace it with a new one.

Fire:

In case of a fire involving fuel, immediately use a fire extinguisher intended for fuel fires (e.g., dry powder extinguisher). Do not use water to extinguish such fires.

Potential Hazards

Risk of Ignition:

Fuel is highly flammable. Always avoid open flames, sparks, and high temperatures near the fuel valve.Ensure the valve is always closed when not in use, especially during transport or when the engine is off.

Material Damage:

The Lalizas fuel valve is made from corrosion-resistant materials; however, it should be protected from extreme weather conditions and mechanical stresses, which could cause damage or reduce its effectiveness.
