Proper CO2 Handling
ALWAYS...
■Connect a regulator (reducing valve) to CO2 cylinder.
■Secure cylinder in upright position whether in storage or in use.
■Keep cylinder away from heat. Rupture disc vents at 122° F. maximum.
■Ventilate room after high pressure gas leakage.
■Check the last DOT test date on cylinder neck before filling. If more than five years old, the cylinder must be retested to DOT specifications.
■Be sure CO2 cylinder outlet fitting is free of dust
or dirt before attaching regulator.
■Store CO2 cylinder and regulator assembly upright.
■Allow only properly trained and experienced
personnel to handle high pressure gas.
NEVER...
■Connect cylinder directly to a keg without a regulator (reducing valve).
■Drop or throw regulator or CO2 cylinder.
■Transport CO2 cylinder in a closed vehicle.
■Apply oil to a regulator.
■Shut off CO2 cylinder when not in use. You will not save gas by doing so!
■Allow untrained, inexperienced personnel to handle high pressure gas.
