1-2 SAFE CYLINDER HANDLING PROCEDURES
Before handling Natura IGS products, all personnel must be trained in the safe handling of the
containers as well as in the proper procedures for installation, removal, filling, and connection
of other critical devices, such as flex hoses; actuation devices; pressure monitoring devices;
transportation safety caps, guards, or shrouds; and anti-recoil devices.
READ, UNDERSTAND and ALWAYS FOLLOW the design, installation, operation and
maintenance manuals, owners manuals, service manuals, etc., that are provided with the
individual systems.
1-2.1 Transporting Container
Containers must be shipped securely either upright in steel stillages or horizontally on pallets
using a minimum of 3 bands to secure the container/s to the pallet.
On site, containers must not be rolled, dragged, or slid, nor allowed to be slid from tailgates of
vehicles. A suitable hand truck, fork truck, single cylinder trolley, roll platform, or similar device
must be used.
1-2.2 Rough Handling
Containers must not be dropped or permitted to strike violently against each other or other
surfaces.
1-2.3 Storage
Containers must be stored standing upright where they are not likely to be knocked over or
the containers must be secured.
1-2.4 Anti-recoil safety cap
• Each Agent cylinder is factory equipped with an anti-recoil safety cap installed on the valve
discharge outlet, and securely fixed to the valve via a stainless steel, PVC coated cable to
prevent loss. This device is a safety feature, and will prevent discharge when installed if the
cylinder is actuated accidentally.
• The anti-recoil safety cap must be installed on the valve outlet AT ALL TIMES except when
the cylinders are connected into the system piping.
1-2.5 Safety Transportation Cap, Guard, or Shroud
The Safety Transportation cap, guard, or shroud is factory installed on the cylinder. The safety
transportation cap, guard, or shroud covers the cylinder valve to protect it during
transportation and handling. No attachments (release unit or slave gauge assemblies) are to
be connected to the cylinder valve during shipment, storage, or handling.
For additional information on safe handling of compressed gas cylinders, see CGA Pamphlet P1
titled “Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers.” CGA pamphlets may be purchased
from the Compressed Gas Association: http://www.cganet.com .
WARNING
Pressurized (charged) cylinders are capable of violent discharge and, as such,
are extremely hazardous. Pressurized cylinders must be handled safely to avoid
accidents that could cause bodily injury, death, or property damage.
WARNING
The instructions contained in this foreword and throughout the manual must be
followed in the exact sequence as written to prevent serious injury, death, or
property damage.
