GAS CAN BE DANGEROUS!
CO

cylinders contain high-pressure compressed gas which can be hazardous if not handled properly.
Make sure you READ and UNDERSTAND the following procedures for CO
2
cylinders BEFORE
INSTALLATION.
1. ALWAYS connect the CO
2
cylinder to a regulator. Failure to do so could result in explosion with
possible death or injury when the cylinder valve is opened.
2. NEVER connect the CO
2
cylinder directly to the product container.
3. ALWAYS follow correct procedures when cylinders are changed.
4. ALWAYS secure the cylinder in an upright position.
5. NEVER drop or throw a CO
2

70°F). Securely fasten with a chain in an upright position when storing.
7. ALWAYS ventilate and leave the area immediately if CO
2
leakage has occurred.
8. ALWAYS check the D.O.T. test date on the cylinder neck before installation. If over five (5) years,
do not use. Return cylinder to gas supplier.
9. NEVER connect a product container unless there are two (2) safety valves 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.
