Safety Instructions for Flammable Liquids
1. ADEQUATE VENTILATION. A build-up of
alcohol fumes can present an explosion
hazard. Always make sure there is enough
ventilation around the
Stirling engine when
it is in use.
2. ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL. Use only any
commercially available isopropyl alcohol
that is 99% pure. DO NOT mix this alcohol
with other chemicals or substitute any other
flammable substance or source to heat the
Stirling engine.
3. RESPONSIBLE USE. Using a Stirling
engine can present a fire hazard if not prop
-
erly operated. Make sure that the operator
of the engine is capable of handling the
alcohol fuel and the hot engine. DO NOT
let children operate this
Stirling engine.
4. KEEP AWAY FROM ELECTRICAL
SOURCES. Any electrical device or source
can produce a spark that may ignite the
alcohol fuel as it is being handled—such as
cell phones, electrical outlets, computers,
etc. Make sure the alcohol fuel is stored
in proper containers away from electrical
sources. Keep the Stirling engine safely
away from electrical sources when in oper
-
ation.
5. REMOVE ALCOHOL AFTER USE.
Properly dispose or store any alcohol left
in the reservoir of the
Stirling engine after
use. The flammable liquid in the reservoir
can spill during movement and become a
fire hazard.
6. AVOID HOT ENGINE PARTS. During the
use of the Stirling engine, many parts
become hot enough to burn the skin. DO
NOT touch these parts until they are com
-
pletely cooled.
7. ALCOHOL DISPOSAL. Always check your
local codes and standards for proper dis
-
posal of flammable substances.
8. CLEAN UP ANY SPILLS. Although isopro
-
pyl alcohol will evaporate with time, a spill
of this flammable liquid can present a fire
hazard. If left for a period of time, isopropyl
alcohol can damage other materials.
9. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL FUEL.
Ingesting any type of alcohol fuel can lead
to blindness or death. Keep containers of
alcohol fuel tightly sealed and away from
children.
10. AVOID EYE OR SKIN CONTACT WITH
ALCOHOL FUEL
. Alcohol fuel can dam-
age eyes. Prolonged exposure of the skin
to alcohol fuels can result in skin irritations.
Avoid any personal contact with
alcohol
fuels, including ingestion.
11. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED.
Always
directly supervise the Stirling engine when
the alcohol fuel is lit or the engine parts are
hot.
12. FIRE SAFETY. Always keep a fire extin
-
guisher near when operating the Stirling
engine or servicing the fuel reservoir. DO
NOT have any other open flames or sourc
-
es of sparks near the alcohol fuel at any
time. DO NOT smoke near the alcohol
fuel.
13. SAFE ATTIRE. Tie back long hair and
loose clothing when operating the Stirling
engine or working with the alcohol fuel.
14. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties per
-
forming the intended operation, stop using
the engine! Contact our Technical Support
