3.1 Getting ready

Make these checks before start-up:
• The battery of the Gas-Tec should be charged, indicated by the GREEN
LED (see Section X .4, page 40 for more details) .
• a probe must be connected with a filter inline
• gas pressure in the hydrogen cylinder must be greater than 150 psi (see
Section X .1, for more details) and at a maximum pressure of 1800 psi .
The Gas-Tec will not work if the battery is not sufficiently charged or the pressure in the hydrogen cylinder
is too low . Using the LCD display, these requirements can be checked once the machine has been
switched on . However, there are a few steps to complete prior to this .

Attach the gas cylinder:
Set the hydrogen cylinder in place by pushing the bottom into the 'toe' of
the Gas-Tec (below left) . Position it so that the cylinder and Gas-Tec con-
nections line up . Then attach the cylinder to the Gas-Tec by screwing the
nut until tight .
Attach the probe:
To attach the probe, push the coupling on the end of the probe assem-
bly into the probe connector at the base of the Gas-Tec . It will 'click' into
place .
