General Procedures
1. The fill valve connection is of the manual type permitting connection to the air tank without tools.
An O-ring is provided for sealing purposes.
2. Compressed air tank fill valves for pressure in excess of 2900 psi (200 bar) are standardized and
connectors for 2900 psi (200 bar) and 4400 psi (300 bar) are different and can not be mixed up.
3. To ensure safe air tank removal after filling, the fill valve has an integral venting bore. Therefore
always close the tank valve before closing the fill valve.
4. During the fill procedure the bottles will warm up due to recompression.
5. After filling, remove and allow the bottle to cool down. When it is cool the bottle may be recon-
nected and topped up to its maximum filling pressure.
2.3.2
Bottle Filling Procedures
^ WARNING ^
Never open the fill valve unless the bottle is connected to the fill hose. Whipping of an unrestrained hose
caused by high pressure air discharge can cause serious injury!
^ CAUTION ^
The filling procedure should not be interrupted for more than 10 minutes to avoid increased CO2 levels in
the air filling the bottle.
