DELUXE MINI CO2 FILL STATION

UNITED STATES PATENT NUMBER 6,263,927,B1

SAFETY FIRST!

NOTE: THIS FILL STATION IS NOT INTENDED FOR HIGH VOLUME COMMERCIAL USE!!

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN WORKING WITH COMPRESSED GAS! VENTING GAS

DOES ACCELERATE PARTICLES OF DIRT AND DEBRIS TO HIGH VELOCITY. KEEP ALL

PERSONS WITHOUT EYE PROTECTION OUT OF THE IMMEDIATE AREA!

ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES TO PROTECT YOUR HANDS FROM EXTREME COLD. THE ACTION OF

VENTING DOWN A CO2 BOTTLE CAN PRODUCE TEMPERATURES AS LOW AS –130 F.

IMMEDIATE AND DESTRUCTIVE FREEZING OF EXPOSED FLESH IS POSSIBLE.

THE FILL STATION MUST BE USED IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE VENTALATION!!

SETTING UP THE FILL STATION

Before you even remove the safety

cap on the bulk cylinder, the bulk

cylinder MUST

be solidly secured

to a post or wall bracket. If the

cylinder were to be knocked over,

the valve could be broken off, and

the cylinder “Launched”.

Your Deluxe Mini-Fill is equipped

with a standard “CGA 320” fitting on

the input side. This fitting will

connect to any standard CO2 bulk

tank in the United States. Please note that the threads are right –handed, and that a sealing washer

(included) is required.

The bulk supply tank you connect to must always be equipped with an internal “dip tube” because it is

necessary to dispense the liquid CO2 from the bottom of the bulk supply tank.

YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DISPENSE A COMPLETE FILL FROM A NON DIP TUBE TANK!

On the backside of the fill station is a vent port. For safety reasons, this port must be directed away from

the operator and bystanders. This port is equipped with 1/8 NPT threads so that if desired, a vent hose or

muffler may be attached. Do not use a bronze sintered muffler!!

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance consists of simply applying a drop of oil periodically on the threads of the vent knob,

also on the ON-OFF knob threads. The “O” ring in the UFA will also benefit from occasional oiling.

If gas leakage is noted around the ON-OFF knob on the Deluxe Mini Fill Station, it indicates that the “O”

ring on the valve shaft has worn or been damaged. To change this “O” ring, simply tap out the retaining

roll pin with a 1/8” pin punch, and screw out the knob. You can then replace the “O” ring with the spare

provided with your fill station. Be sure to replace the retaining roll pin.
