VEHICLE DISPLAY GUIDELINES
Motorized vehicles within the exhibit halls are permissible, provided that each vehicle can be defined as a vehicle that is propelled by an internal combustion engine using a Class I or Class II fuel, such as, but not limited to automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, aircraft, watercraft, and lawnmowers.
When placing motorized vehicles inside an assembly hall or exhibit, occupancy consideration must be taken into account regarding exits and exit access, so that these areas remain free of any obstructions, thereby ensuring a clear path for emergency egress. Vehicles must be positioned prior to the opening of an event to the public.
Each vehicle will be subject to inspection for compliance with the following items:
- All fuel tank openings shall be locked and sealed to prevent escape of vapors.
- Fuel tanks must contain less than one (1) gallon of fuel.
- Both battery cables must be removed from the batteries used to start the vehicle engine. The disconnected battery cables must be taped.
- Batteries used to power auxiliary equipment are permitted to be kept in service.
- Fueling or de-fueling of vehicles is prohibited.
- Vehicles may not be moved during show hours.
- Vehicles, boats and similar exhibited products with over 100 sq. ft. of covered area must be protected with a listed smoke alarm.
