 THE TRANSCUBE MOBILE IBC (INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINER)
FOR THE TRANSPORT OF DIESEL FUEL ON CANADIAN ROADS.

The UN (United Nations) approved Mobile IBC complies with the following regulations: the UK car-
riage of dangerous goods by road requirements and the European agreement concerning the inter-
national carriage of dangerous goods by road (ADR), US DOT and Transport USA. Transport of
Dangerous Goods Regulations apply when transporting the IBC empty or full with flammable liquid
of Transport Packing Group III (diesel fuel).

Instructions for Use

1. Ensure that the IBC placard is fitted to all sides with the correct U.N. Number, "Flammable Liquid Class
3 - Hazardous Diamond" and the proper shipping name, i.e. U.N. 1202 for diesel fuel.
2. Ensure that the driver has adequate instruction and training in IBC contents.
3. Ensure driver has appropriate training licence on him or her if required.
4. Ensure documents and Record Cards are carried.
5. Always follow the local or federal road regulations when transporting.
6. Do not allow riders on trailer.
7. Ensure that the TransCube is in good condition and that the certification period has not expired (refer
to TransCube Maintenance/Record Card on the date stamped on the specification plate).
8. Ensure that all valves are switched off when not in use and being transported.
9. Take care not to spill fuel on the ground or in the tank at all times when filling TransCube or dispensing
fuel.
10. Use on a level site.

To Fill Tank
1. Open filler cap slowly to relieve pressure (and vent cap if fitted), and fill with nozzle only. Do not hard
connect.
2. Watch for level on gauge.
3. When full or adequate amount required (maximum 95% of capacity of tank), replace cap and tighten.
Note: Hand tighten fill cap and then tighten another 1/4 turn to minimize the chance of leakage.

Dispensing Fuel
1. Open outlet ball valve. Ensure dispensing nozzle is held while your pump is operating.
2. When finished, ensure nozzle and hose are replaced in pump cabinet, and ball valve, pump and nozzle
are switched off.

If generator, feed and return lines are required, fit your choice of quick couplers to the designated points
and pass hoses through the access slot on the sides of the cabinet so that it remains lockable. It is
important to use the correct filter to match your diesel engine.

Note
These instructions apply to diesel fuel which is a hazardous material Packing Group III. If the IBC is
to be used for anything other than diesel fuel, please check with the local authorities and check that
the liquid falls within the Packing Group II or III and that the TransCube is labelled with the appropriate
number on the UN placards. If the IBC is used for a flammable liquid, local fire regulations should be
checked including the carrying of correct fire extinguishers.
