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.
