installed on your air or CO2 cylinder or is desired, it is critical that your cylinder be
checked by, or the device installed by, a qualified professional.
• All air or CO2 cylinders must be filled only by properly trained personnel.
• Cylinder valves must be installed only by properly trained personnel.
• Do not overfill a cylinder! Never exceed the air or CO2 cylinder's capacity.
• Do not expose pressurized air or CO2 cylinder to temperatures exceeding 130 °F (55 °C).
• Do not use caustic cleaners or strippers on the air or CO2 cylinder or cylinder valve
and do not expose to corrosive materials.
• Do not modify the air or CO2 cylinder in any way. Never try to disassemble the
cylinder valve from the air or CO2 cylinder.
• Any air or CO2 cylinder that has been exposed to fire or heated to a temperature
of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) or more must be destroyed by
properly trained personnel.
• Use appropriate gas for your cylinder. Only use CO2 in a CO2 cylinder and only use
compressed air in a compressed air cylinder.
• Keep all cylinders out of the reach of children.
• The Air or CO2 cylinder should be inspected and hydrostatically retested at least
every 5 years by a DOT licensed agency.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air/CO2
supply, or if the marker or air/CO2 supply is leaking. Compressed air and CO2
gasses are very cold, and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.
