Warnings:
•
Never connect your CO
2
tank directly to your keg. (always use regulator)
•
Always store your CO
2
tank in an upright position, and secure it so that it cannot
fall over.
•
Always make sure that the valve on your CO
2
tanks is closed before removing the
regulator.
•
Do not expose your CO
2
tank to extreme heat such as fire or leaving it inside of a
car on a hot day.
•
Do not throw or drop your CO
2
tank.
•
Close the valve on your CO
2
tank when not in use.
•
Be sure to completely tighten your regulator to the tank using a wrench.
•
Every CO
2
tank will be stamped on the neck with a date of a
DOT static pressure test. This date is in MM-YY format and is
good for 5 years for aluminum CO
2
tanks. Be sure to check
this date when exchanging or filling your tank.
•
When exchanging or filling your tank, always use a new fiber or nylon washer
between the tank and your regulator when changing your tank. Most gas
suppliers will include a new fiber washer, and homebrew shops should carry these
washers.
•
Make sure that you have the gray pressure relief valve in place on your keg lid
when carbonating and serving, not the red FastFermentation valve.
•
CO
2
is a dangerous gas. If you are experiencing headaches, having trouble
breathing, or are unable to focus; close the valve on your tank immediately and
move to a well-ventilated area.
