CO2
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Warning
WARNING: To avoid personnel injury and/or
property damage, always secure the CO2 cylinder
per local codes.
WARNING — CO2 Displaces Oxygen. Strict Attention must be
observed in the prevention of CO
2 gas leaks in the entire CO2 and
FCB system. If a CO
2 gas leak is suspected, particularly in a small
area, immediately ventilate the contaminated area before
attempting to repair the leak. Personnel exposed to high concen-
tration of CO
2 gas experience tremors which are followed rapidly
by loss of consciousness and possible death.
Replenishing CO
2
Supply
The Viper unit is designed to operate on a CO2 input pressure of 70 to 75 psig. If
the installation location has either an independant tank and regulator or a bulk
CO2 supply that feeds more than one machine, a shutoff valve and secondary
regulator must be placed in the line from the bulk supply to the Viper unit to
reduce the CO2 pressure at the unit to 70-75 psig. Perform the procedure in
Table 12 to pressurize the CO2 system.
The CO
2 supply MUST be changed in accordance with local safety procedures.
Maximum CO
2 pressure to the Viper unit MUST NEVER EXCEED 75 psi. If
pressure exceeds 75 psi, damage to the unit may result. Minimum CO
2
pressure to the Viper unit is 70 psig.
WATER
Viper requires a minimum water flow rate of 100 gal. per hr. for a 2 barrel unit.
Minimum water pressure is 25 psig. Maximum water pressure to the unit is 100
psig.
Water Filters
Water filters are recommended to insure proper operation of the unit. Refer to
local procedures for replacement intervals and service.
