PRECAUTIONS
•
Tampering with gas specific connections shall be prohibited. Do not alter, remove or modify gas specific connections.
•
Keep all manifold parts, tools and work surfaces free of oil, grease and dirt. These and other flammable materials
may ignite when exposed to high pressure oxygen or nitrous oxide.
•
Do not use chemicals, lubricants or sealants unless specified in these instructions.
•
Before connecting cylinder to manifold, momentarily open and close cylinder valve to blow out dirt and debris.
•
After connecting cylinder to manifold, open cylinder valve S-L-O-W-L-Y to allow heat of compression to dissipate.
•
Do not use flame or “sniff” tests for leaks.
•
Do not apply heat to any part of the manifold system.
•
Always secure high-pressure cylinders with racks, straps, or chains. Unrestrained cylinders may fall over and
damage or break off cylinder valve.
•
Do not repeatedly bend, sharply bend, or twist copper pigtails as damage to tubing may occur.
•
After the manifold wall bracket has been mounted, one person alone should not attempt to lift and hang
the manifold cabinet.
•
Do not put the manifold into operation until verified by a qualified person as per NFPA 99 or other local
standards.
