If the system is not going to be used for a prolonged period, the valves are to be
closed; when doing this, start from the device shut-off valve towards the cylinder
valve. When starting up the system again, the valves are to be opened; when doing
this, start from the cylinder valve towards the device shut-off valve.
•
Naked flames and smoking are prohibited in areas where large cylinders are stored
and near large cylinder systems. The ventilation openings of the installation area
and/or the cylinder cabinet must be kept free. Warning signs must be applied.

Do not siphon liquid gas!

Changing the cylinder:
When changing the cylinder, only loosen the regulator connection after the cylinder
valve has been fully closed. The pressure regulator must be connected and well-
sealed. Every time the cylinder is changed the seal of the regulator connection
must be tested using foaming agents (e.g., soapy water).

Transport and storage
•
To avoid damaging the valve and to prevent gas leaks, full and empty liquid gas
cylinders should only be transported and stored with a closed and protected valve
(wear nut and cap).
•
When transporting in vehicles, ensure that there is adequate ventilation in the
storage area. The cylinders must be secured from shifting during transport.
•
The cylinders, even if they are empty, should only be stored upright in well-
ventilated areas; they should not be stored below ground level (e.g. basements,
shafts, etc.), in stairwells, corridors, passageways, near emergency exits, escape
routes and passages between buildings or in their immediate vicinity. No more than
two small cylinders should be stored in a home - and only then in separate rooms
(not bedrooms). Any use of energy involves a risk of danger.
•
Therefore, please observe these user/operating instructions!
