1. Operation
1.2. Cylinder pressure regulators must not be used for gases in a liquid state.
Cylinder pressure regulators must not be operated under temperatures of
-30°C or above +60°C.
Cylinder pressure regulators must not be used for corrosive gases
2. Safety instructions
2.1. All indications showing this exclamation mark are important safety
instructions.
2.2. The cylinder pressure regulators comply with current relevant technical
regulations and standards.
2.4. Avoid the use of adaptors between the cylinder valve and the cylinder

5. Maximum inlet pressure for oxygen and other compressed gases
6. Maximum outlet pressure
4.1. Keep hands, tools and regulator clean; oil and grease can cause an
explosion on contact with oxygen.
4.2. The operator must be fully familiar with these operating instructions prior
to the use of this equipment, all instructions should be adhered to when in
use.
4.3. Check that the cylinder pressure regulator is suitable for the gas to be
used. (See markings paragraph 3.)
4.4. Check that the cylinder valve connection is clean and undamaged: if not,
do not connect the cylinder Pressure Regulator.
4.6. Check that the pressure adjusting knob (5) is fully screwed out (anti-
clockwise).
4.7. Connect the cylinder pressure regulator to the cylinder valve (1) by means
of the Inlet nut on the inlet stem (2).
4.8. Connect the hose to the cylinder pressure regulator outlet (6). Use hoses
of good quality, free from defects.
5.1. Check that the pressure adjusting knob (5) is fully screwed out (anti-
clockwise).
5.3. Slowly open the cylinder valve (1) and ensure that the cylinder pressure is
showing on the high pressure (contents) gauge (3)
5.5. Rotate the pressure adjusting knob (5) clockwise to set the required
working pressure on the outlet gauge (4).
6.3. Vent the pressure in the system by opening the downstream (shank)
valves.
6.4. Once the system has been depressurized, close the downstream (shank)
valves.
7.1. Protect the cylinder pressure regulator from damage. Check visually for
any signs of damage before use.
7.2. The preset adjustment of the safety valve (7) must not be changed.
7.3. Ensure that all washers and mating surfaces are in a satisfactory
condition. Store spare washers with the regulator
