b. Examine the cylinder valves to be sure they
are clean and free of oil, grease or any foreign
material. Momentarily open each cylinder
valve to blow out any dust which may be
present.
c. The cylinder must be equipped with an ad-
justable high-pressure regulator capable of
outlet pressures up to 100 psi (6.9 bar) maxi-
mum and flows of up to 300 scfh (141.5 lpm).
6. Slide the gas supply hose over the barb fitting in-
stalled in Step 2. Supply hose must be at least #4
