R2.8 CM2220 R101B General Safety Instructions Section i - Introduction Page i-11 Always test for fuel leaks as instructed. Do not dilute. Avoid sparks, arcing switches and equipment, cigarettes, pilot lights, flames, and other sources of ignition. Vapors accumulate near the floor. Check the work floor, sumps, and low lying areas for ignition sources before servicing equipment.. Provide extra ventilation to the work area. Do not troubleshoot or repair fuel leaks while the engine is running. If material is spilled, avoid contact and dispersal with runoff, soil, waterways, drains, and sewers. Absorb with sand, clay, or commercial absorbent. Transfer to containers and neutralize the material.
Flush spill area with soap and excess water. Report spills effecting water source contamination to local authorities immediately. Proper disposal is required. Dispose of in accordance with local and environmental regulations. Always torque fittings and connections to the required specifications. over or under tightening can damage threads and create leaks.

Compressed Natural Gas Protect eyes. Protect skin. Always be alert for the smell of gas. Compressed natural gas is typically treated with an odor producing chemical for leak detection. Non-refined sources of natural gas (landfill gas, biogas, coal bed gas, wellhead gas, etc.) can not always be detected by smell. Always test for fuel leaks as instructed. Odorant can fade. Upon entering a room or approaching a vehicle where the smell of gas is present, immediately shutoff all engines and ignition sources. Natural gas ignites when there is a 5% - 15% mixture in the air. Asphyxiation can occur when concentration reaches 21% or more.
Do not start equipment or nearby equipment until a suspected gas leak is corrected and the area is ventilated. Avoid sparks, arcing switches and equipment, cigarettes, pilot lights, flames, and other sources of ignition. Work in areas that do not share common ventilation with areas containing ignition sources. Store and service natural gas fueled equipment in large, well-ventilated areas, or outside. Provide extra ventilation to the work area. To buy Cummins Parts and Service Manuals, Training Guides, or Tools go to our website at https://store.cummins.com
