PROPER CO2 HANDLING
ALWAYS...
• Connect a regulator (reducing valve) to CO2 cylinder.
• Secure cylinder in upright position whether in storage or in
use.
• Keep cylinder away from heat. Rupture disc vents at 122°F
maximum.
• Ventilate room after gas leakage.
• Check the last DOT test date on cylinder neck before lling.
If more than ve years old, the cylinder must be retested to
DOT specications.
• Be sure CO2 cylinder outlet tting is free of dust or dirt before
attaching regulator.
• Store CO2 cylinder and regulator assembly upright.
• Allow only properly trained and experienced personnel to
handle high pressure gas.
NEVER...
• Connect cylinder directly to a keg without a regulator (reduc-
ing valve)
• Drop or throw regulator or CO2 cylinder.
• Transport CO2 cylinder in a closed vehicle.
• Apply oil to a regulator.
• Shut o CO2 cylinder when not in use. You will not save gas
by doing so!
• Allow untrained, inexperienced personnel to handle high
pressure gas.
CAUTION
Be sure to close the gas shut-o valve when untapping the keg.
