Regulator
Co2 cylinders contain high pressure gas which can be hazardous if not handled properly. Make sure you
READ and UNDERSTAND the following procedures for CO
2
cylinders BEFORE installaon.
1. ALWAYS connect the CO
2
cylinder to a regulator. Failure to do so could result in an explosion with possible death or injury

chain in an upright posion when storing. NEVER place cylinders in direct sunlight or where temperature could rise above
130°F.
7. ALWAYS venlate and leave the area immediately if CO
2
gas leakage has occurred. NEVER enter a closed area where leakage
may have occurred without making certain it has been venlated.
8. ALWAYS check the D.O.T. test date on the cylinder neck before installaon. If over ve (5) years. do no use, return cylinder to
gas supplier.
9. NEVER connect a product container unless there are two (2) safees in the pressure system :
(a) one at or on the CO
2
regulator
(b) one at or on the product coupler or in the pressure gas line.
10. CO
2
Regulators are delicate instruments and should be checked constantly for creeping, sluggishness, damaged gauges, or any
unusual behavior. If any of these symptoms occur disconnue use immediately and return regulator to supplier or manufacturer.
