Operating Instructions
Attaching the regulator to the cylinder
1. Secure the cylinder to prevent from falling.
2. Open the cylinder valve slightly and close. This will clear the
valve of any dust, water or dirt which could be carried into the
regulator and cause damage or accident.
3. Fit the regulator into the valve and hand tighten. Do not use
a spanner or over tighten as this will damage the connector
o-ring.
SLOWLY open the cylinder valve to allow pressure to gradually
4.
build up in the regulator thus preventing damage and/or
injury. Never lean over the regulator.
5. Check the connections for leaks. A leaking connection can be
heard as a hiss. If a leak occurs refer to the 'Faulty operation
and maintenance' section of this leaflet.
Closing the cylinder and removing regulator
1. After use, turn the cylinder valve to the 'close' or 'off'
position.
2. Relieve the pressure in the regulator by turning the adjusting
knob clockwise fully in. This will release any residual gas in
the regulator.
3. Loosen the regulator by turning counter-clockwise and
continue turning until the regulator is disengaged from the
cylinder valve.
4. Store the regulator carefully with the inlet and outlet
connections covered to avoid contamination and prevent
damage.
5. Replace cylinder cap on cylinder if supplied with one.
