each cylinder valve to blow out any dust which may be present.
3. The cylinder must be equipped with an adjustable high - pressure regulator capable of outlet pressures up to
100 psi (6.9 bar) maximum and flows of at least 300 scfh (141.5 lpm).
4. Connect gas supply hose to the cylinder.
NOTE
Pressure should be set at 100 psi (6.9 bar) at the high pressure gas cylinder regulator.
Supply hose must be at least 1/4 inch (6 mm) I.D.
For a secure seal, apply thread sealant to the fitting threads, according to manufacturer's instructions. Do Not
