WARNING
Damage to the gas bottle, to the valve. Gas escapes at high pres-
sure.
If the gas bottle has been weakened due to serious damage, this can
lead to cracks in the wall of the gas bottle. Considerable stresses and
strains occur at the cracks, causing the gas bottle to break open. Gas
emerges at high pressure. The gas bottle is propelled like a rocket.
Risk of injury or death for patients and medical staff! Risk of damage
to property.
 Do not apply force to gas bottles, bottle connectors and valves.
 When transporting, storing, and using the gas bottle, prevent it
from falling over and dropping by securing it with chains, hoops,
or retaining straps.
 Only transport gas bottles with the valve guard fitted: bottle cap
or bottle collar.
 Operate and store the CO

bottle close to a heat source. Heaters or air
conditioners are examples of heat sources. Do not actively heat
the CO

tle to direct sunlight.
 Observe the safety instructions provided by the gas supplier.
Gas bottle adapter
To connect the gas bottle and the gas tube you need a gas bottle adapter. The gas
bottle adapter is specific to each country.

ing straps, chains, etc. to prevent it from falling over.
3. If you have stored the gas bottle at below 15 °C or over 25 °C, allow the gas bottle
to acclimatize at room temperature for 8 hours. Do not actively heat the gas bot-
tle, e.g. using a fan heater.
