If the switchover system seems to be using gas from the primary 

and 

reserve cylinders (pressure is 

de creas ing on both inlet gauges at the same time), do the following:

1.  Make sure the priority valve knob is turned fully to the right or left.
2.  Observe the inlet pressure.  It may be necessary to do this during the heaviest use of the system.  

If the inlet pressure is below the values listed below, replace the high-pressure cylinders.  If liquid 
cylinders are used and the inlet pressure increases signifi cantly when the system is not in use, 
then the system is over-withdrawing the liquid cyl in ders. Additional capacity may be added to the 
system to prevent this.
