1. Connect the pipeline supplies one at a time and ensure that the
corresponding display indicates pipeline pressure.
2. Disconnect all pipeline supplies.
a. Open each cylinder valve.
b. Make sure that each cylinder has sufficient pressure. If not, close the
applicable cylinder valve and install a full cylinder.
3. Test the cylinder supplies for a high pressure leak. Make sure that each

a. If equipped, turn the auxiliary O
b. If equipped, turn off venturi derived suction.
c. Open each cylinder.
d. Record the cylinder pressure.
e. Close each cylinder valve.
f. Record the cylinder pressure after one minute. If the pressure
decreases more than indicated below, there is a leak.
690 kPa (100 psig) for all gases.
If a cylinder supply fails this test, install a new cylinder gasket and do
this step again.
4. Close all cylinder valves.
Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline supply is in use.
Cylinder supplies could be depleted, leaving an insufficient reserve
