GAS SUPPLY
General
Your BOSSWELD gas welding and cutting equipment is designed to be used
by gases delivered to the point of use from portable compressed gas cylinders.
In all cases, gas supplies may be subject to statutory or regulatory provisions.
Many Australian Standards cover the subject.
a)
The Brazen 3000 is fueled with Oxygen and Mapp gas cylinders, Cylinders
are generally obtained from gas suppliers.
b)
Do not tamper with the markings or colour coding of cylinders. Do not use
non colour coded cylinders or those without safety and information labels.
c)
The Oxygen and Mapp gas cylinders are not refillable.
d)
Gas should only be used for the particular intended purpose, e.g. never
use oxygen for cleaning (dusting), or to provide ventilation or to support
breathing
e)
Gases should only be identified by their correct name so as to avoid
dangerous confusion or misunderstanding.
f)
Valve seats and outlets should be protected by keeping all kinds of dirt
and contamination away from cylinders, especially during connection
and disconnection. Grit, loose fibers and other dirt may lodge in
connectors or valve seats causing leaks or may be picked up by high
velocity gas streams, causing hot spots in regulators, potentially resulting
in ignition. Organic matter such as oil, grease and hydrocarbon liquids
which may ignite spontaneously in high pressure oxygen is another hazard
to regulators and other downstream equipment.
g)
Do not tamper with safety devices.
DO NOT CONNECT CYLINDERS BEFORE YOU HAVE READ THIS
MANUAL IN FULL AND UNDERSTAND IT.
THE BRAZEN 3000 OXYGEN BOTTLE CONNECTION ONLY
