- Page 12 Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the EBS at 310 bar (4500 PSI) for any reason. Use the fill station pressure gauge to monitor cylinder pressure as it is generally more precise than the EBS on board gauge. Cylinder pressure and filling rate must be constantly monitored to ensure the maximum working pressure is not exceeded.
