Pressurized (charged) cylinders are extremely hazardous and if not handled properly can cause
property damage, bodily injury, or death. Always wear safety glasses and make sure the discharge
port safety plug(s), cap(s), or anti-recoil device(s) are properly in place before system installation,
servicing, or other general handling.
The following safety precautions should always be followed:
1. Read and understand this manual and the other documents referenced herein.
2. The valve discharge outlet safety plug(s) MUST be installed on the cylinder valve at all times and only removed when
connected to the discharge network or when performing charging, testing, or salvaging operations in accordance with
the procedures contained in this manual.
3. Wear safety glasses when working with pressurized cylinders and charging equipment. It is recommended to wear
leather gloves to avoid any cryogenic burns if FK-5-1-12 is accidentally discharged on or near the skin.
4. Make sure that the ball valve (attached to the top of the cylinder valve) is closed (lever is in “OFF” position), the
detection tubing has been removed from the cylinder valve and the safety caps installed before removing the cylinder
from the installation and before performing any charging, leak tests or salvage operations.
5. Follow all the safety procedures included on the cylinder nameplate and in this manual.
6. Never assume that a cylinder is empty. Treat all cylinders as if they are fully charged.
