Important information about the installation
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 17 and observ-
ing 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.
4. Check after the installation and
connection of the units all the
gas bearing connections to
make sure that they are tight.
Soap solution, leakage detect-
ing spray etc.
Do not use open flames!
3. Press release button of the
hose-break protection (protection
against breakage) after having
opened
the valve(s).
This has also to be done after
each replacement of cylinders.
2. Open cylinder(s) valve(s).
When gas is taken out of sev-
eral gas cylinders simultane-
ously, all the valves have to be
opened.
Connection of gas supply
Make the connection as follows:
1. Connect pressure controller to
the gas cylinder(s).
Attention!
left-handed thread!

Assembly of Multi-cylinder Set
All cylinders valves must be open to ensure regular gas
supply!
Before Starting
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 regard-
ing the handlings concerned.
Make sure to draw the operators‘ attention to possible
dangers during the handling of liquid gas.
The persons charged with the operation of the units
have to check the units before starting work to detect
obvious defects on the operating and safety elements
and to make sure that the safety devices have not been
removed.
A constant unit connection pressure of 0.3 bar
(300 mbar) must be ensured, also during continu-
ous operation.
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.
Install only in well ventilated rooms, not in rooms
which people will be using for longer periods!

Important information about icing gas bottles
Insufficiently dimensioned supply plants can cause icing
of the pressure gas or pressure reservoirs. When the
gas pressure falls a proper gas supply to the consumer
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 crystalline white frost may not be removed by open
fire, glowing objects or radiators.
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
least 3 cylinders to avoid intensive icing of the reser-
voirs. The number of cylinders can be increased by us-
ing a set of several cylinders (accessories), depending
on the unit capacity and the service life.
