Handling
Always...
• Connect a regulator (reducing valve) to a CO
2
cylinder.
• Secure cylinder in upright position whether in storage or in use.
• Keep cylinder away from heat. Rupture disc vents at 122 o F. maximum.
• Ventilate room after high pressure gas leakage.
• Check the last DOT test date on cylinder neck before filling. If more than five years old,
the cylinder must be retested to DOT specifications.
• Be sure CO
2
cylinder outlet fitting is free of dust or dirt before attaching regulator.
• Store CO
2
cylinder and regulator assembly upright.
• Allow only properly trained and experienced personnel to handle high pressure gas.
Never...
• Connect cylinder directly to a keg without a regulator (reducing valve).
• Drop or throw regulator or CO2 cylinder.
• Transport CO
2
cylinder in a closed vehicle.
• Apply oil to a regulator.
• Shut off CO
2
cylinder when not in use. You will not save gas by doing so!
• Allow untrained, inexperienced personnel to handle high pressure gas.
Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury or death.
