Connecting the backup gas cylinders for O2 and N2O
Even if the workstation is connected to a central gas
supply, the cylinders must remain on the apparatus as
backup supply.
● On the back of the workstation:
place full cylinders in the cylinder holders and secure
in position.
1 Screw the pressure reducing adapters onto the
cylinder valves.
2 Screw the gas hoses into the ports on the front of the
gas supply block.
Switch over immediately to cylinder supply if the central
gas supply fails:
● Open the cylinder valves.
Caution when handling O2 cylinders
● Do not oil or grease the O2 cylinder valves or O2
pressure reducing adapters, and do not handle with
greasy fingers.
Danger of explosion!
● The cylinder valves must be opened / closed by hand.
Do not use tools.
● If a cylinder valve is leaky or difficult to operate, it
must be repaired by an expert.
