WARNING!
Care must be taken to protect the quick connect coupling and adapter from damage, dirt, and debris
during cylinder replacement. Dirt and debris can cause the cylinder connection seals to leak. Visually
inspect the coupling and adapter prior to connection. If dirt or debris is observed, the material must be
removed prior to connecting the cylinder. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death.
10.5 Charging Cylinders
(1) Appropriately connect the cylinder to the filling system and refill.
NOTE
: For quick connect cylinder, the adapter must be removed before filling unless the filling system
has been adapted for the quick connect.
(2) Terminate the filling when the pressure reaches the maximum service pressure and allow the
cylinder to cool to room temperature.
(3) If necessary, top-off the cylinder such that the service pressure is attained with the cylinder at a
temperature of 70°F (21°C).
(4) Close the valves on the cylinder and the filling system and remove the cylinder.
(5) Apply a leak solution to determine if there is any leakage between the cylinder and the valve.
a) If there is no leakage, the cylinder is ready for use.
