the floor. Piping connections between the fuel tank and engine should not be
exposed to breakage or separation.
4. Starter Batteries (Internal Combustion Engines). Restrain the battery set and
anchor the battery racks to prevent sliding and/or overturning which could
damage the connection from the battery set to the engine. Battery racks should
be adequately braced to prevent buckling of the legs.
