2
1. Always ensure the work area is free of combustible materials, flammable materials and
heat sources
2. Always work in a well-ventilated area
3. Never smoke or have an open flame during regulator operation
4. Never test a regulator for leaks using an open flame. Always use a suitable leak
testing solution
5. Never use damaged regulators (such as to the inlet, outlet or gauges)
6. Never tamper or change the inlet and outlet fittings
7. Always keep the regulators clean (especially the inlet and outlet fittings) ensuring they
are free from dust and foreign matter
8. Never use a leaking regulator or a regulator showing signs of creep. Note: Regulator
creep is where the low-pressure gauge indicator keeps increasing when the regulator is
connected to a cylinder and the outlet is shut off. Regulator creep of 35kPa is excessive.
9. Always ensure the regulator adjusting knob is fully unwound in an ANTI-clockwise
direction before attaching to and opening the cylinder valve. Failure to do so can
damage the internal components of the regulator
10. Always open the cylinder valves SLOWLY
11. Never stand in front of the regulator when opening the cylinder valve
12. Replace regulators after five (5) years in operation
13. Always attach flashback arrestors to the regulator outlets when using oxygen and fuel
regulators in welding, cutting, heating and allied processes
14. Never use adaptors, washers or foreign components to force a connection with
the cylinder
15. Always close the cylinder valve after each use
3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the regulators are appropriate for use
for the intended application
• Ensure cylinder valve and regulator inlet and outlet are clean and free from dust and
foreign material
• Connect regulator to cylinder valve
Note:
in general fuel gases such as Acetylene and LPG have a left-hand thread requiring
counter clockwise rotation to attach to cylinders
• Connect downstream equipment to the regulator outlet
• Close downstream equipment valve
