• An anti-siphon device was installed.
• The valve unit was removed from the cylinder for any reason.
• Any modification was done to the refillable air or CO2 cylinder.

Air/CO2 Cylinder Safety Tips
• Improper use, filling, storage, or disposal of air or CO2 cylinder may result in
property damage, serious personal injury or death.
• Make sure that any maintenance or modification to any air or CO2 cylinder is done
by a qualified professional, such as a “C5” certified airsmith.
• Installing an anti-siphon device is dangerous. However, if one is already installed on
your air or CO2 cylinder or is desired, it is critical that your cylinder be checked by,
or the device installed by, a qualified professional.
• All air or CO2 cylinders must be filled only by properly trained personnel.
• Cylinder valves must be installed only by properly trained personnel.
• Do not overfill a cylinder! Never exceed the air or CO2 cylinder’s capacity.
• Do not expose pressurized air or CO2 cylinder to temperatures exceeding 130
degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius).
• Do not use caustic cleaners or strippers on the air or CO2 cylinder or cylinder valve
and do not expose to corrosive materials.
• Do not modify the air or CO2 cylinder in any way. Never try to disassemble the
cylinder valve from the air or CO2 cylinder.
• Any air or CO2 cylinder that has been exposed to fire or heated to a temperature
of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) or more must be destroyed by
properly trained personnel.
• Use appropriate gas for your cylinder. Only use CO2 in a CO2 cylinder and only use
compressed air in a compressed air cylinder.
• Keep all cylinders out of the reach of children.
• The air or CO2 cylinder should be inspected and hydrostatically retested at least
every 5 years by a DOT licensed agency.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing the air/CO2
cylinder, or if the marker or air/CO2 cylinder is leaking. Compressed air and CO2
gasses are very cold, and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.
