GAS AND FLUID REQUIREMENTS
6.1
Gas
WARNING
Gas cylinder must be manufactured, inspected and tested in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) 3AL
WARNING
To avoid fire hazard as well as explosion risk, use only industrial grade Carbon Dioxide (CO
2
) gas or industrial grade
Nitrogen (N
2
) gas.
CAUTION
To prevent leaks, always use a neoprene washer when connecting the regulator to a CO
2
cylinder.
NOTE:
When operating the CLOUD 9 SMOKER using CO
2
as a propellant, the CO
2
bottle must be in an upright
position to prevent freezing of the regulator.
WARNING
CO
2
and N
2
gases have different CGA (Compressed Gas Association) specifications
(CO
2
= CGA 320 and N
2
= CGA 580). Use the proper regulator. CO
2
or N
2
gas is used as a propellant when generating
smoke; it is also used to clean
the heating block when the ACC is initiated. Output pressure can be adjusted by mean of the
CO
2
or N
2
regulator. The operating pressure range for the CLOUD 9 SMOKER is 10 to 40 psi.
