Open bottle valve(s).
When gas is taken out of several
gas bottles simultaneously, all
the valves have to be opened.
Press release button of the hose
security device (protection a-
gainst breakage) after having o-
pened the valve(s).
This has also to be done after
each replacement of bottles.
After the installation and
connection of the units all
the gas bearing connecti-
ons have to be checked
with soap solution, leakage
detecting spray etc. to
make sure that they are
tight.
Do not use open flames!
Hint!
Insufficiently dimensioned supply plants can cause i-
cing of the pressure gas or pressure reservoirs. When
the gas pressure falls a proper gas supply to the consu-
mer points can no longer be ensured in many cases.
This will result in imperfect combustion, harmful waste
gases or extinction of the flame. Therefore the supply
plant is to be dimensioned in such a way as to ensure
that problems of this kind cannot be caused.
The cristalline white frost may not be removed by open
fire, glowing objects or radiators. Sufficient gas supply
to the consumer points can be ensured by using an e-
vaporator.
Sufficient gas supply is to be ensured according to the
unit power rating (see identification plate), service life
and ambient temperature of the supply tanks.
In principle, we recommend that you use a set of at le-
ast 3 cylinders to avoid intensive icing of the reservoirs.
The number of cylinders can be increased by using a
set of several cylinders (accessories), depending on
the unit capacity and the service life.
1) Unscrew gas hose
Turn union nut clockwise
Important Installation Hint
When installing or removing the gas hose make sure to
exert a counterpressure on the gas connection
nipple of the unit using an open-end spanner SW 19
and observing the left-handed thread.
This procedure also refers to all further gas compo-
nents, such as pressure controller, hose security device
(protection against breakage), etc.
When any work is carried out on the gas supply
line and when the gas cylinder is replaced, all
stop valves must be closed and there may be
no ignition sources in the direct surroundings.
2) Fasten gas hose
Turn union nut anti-clockwise

Make sure to charge a person with the operation of the
unit and with the supervision of the reservoirs and of
the bottle stock who has been instructed sufficiently re-
garding the handlings concerned.
The persons charged with the operation of the units ha-
ve to check the units before starting work to detect ob-
vious defects on the operating and safety elements and
to make sure that the safety devices have not been re-
moved.
Make sure to draw the operators‘ attention to possible
dangers during the handling of liquid gas.
A constant unit connection pressure of
0.3 bar (300 mbar) must be ensured, also
during continuous operation.
Connect pressure controller to
the gas bottle(s).
Attention!
left-handed thread!
Install only in well ventilated rooms, not in rooms which people will be using for longer periods!
