cylinders to excessive heat, sparks, slag
and flame, etc. Cylinders exposed to
temperatures above 130°F will require
water spray cooling.
• Do not expose cylinders to electricity of
any kind.
• 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
prevent 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
regulator 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,
whenever the cylinder is moved.
• Always close the cylinder valve and
immediately remove a faulty regulator
from service, for repair, if any of the
following 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.
