• Do not use a cylinder or its contents for
anything other than its intended use. Do
not use as a support or roller.
• Do not locate cylinders in passageways or
work area where they may be struck.
• Do not use a wrench or hammer to open
a cylinder valve that cannot be opened by
hand. Notify your supplier.
• Do not modify or exchange gas cylinder
fittings.
• Do not deface or alter name, number or
other markings on a cylinder. Do not rely
on cylinder color to identify the contents.
• Do not connect a regulator to a cylinder
containing gas other than that for which
the regulator was designed.
• Do not attempt to make regulator repairs.
Send faulty regulators to manufacturer’s
designated repair center for repair.
• Do not attempt to lubricate a regulator.
• Always change cylinders carefully to pre-
vent leaks and damage to their walls,
valves, or safety devices.
• Always secure cylinders with a steel chain
so that they cannot be knocked over.
• Always protect a cylinder, especially the
valve, from bumps, falls, falling objects
and weather. Remember that gasses in
the cylinders are under pressure and
damage to a regulator can cause the reg-
ulator or portion of the regulator to be
explosively ejected from the cylinder.
• Always make certain the cylinder cap is
securely in place on the cylinder, whenev-
er the cylinder is moved.
• Always close the cylinder valve and
immediately remove a faulty regulator
from service, for repair, if any of the fol-
lowing conditions exist.
• Gas leaks externally.
• Delivery pressure continues to rise with
down stream valve closed.
• The gauge pointer does not move off the
stop pin when pressurized or fails to return
to the stop pin after pressure is released.
