SET UP AND OPERATION GUIDE
1. Secure cylinder. (As noted in safety precautions.)
2. While standing to one side, “crack” each cylinder valve. (Fig.1) “Cracking” is to
quickly open and close the valve, allowing gas to escape and clearing the valve
of any foreign material.
CAUTION:
If oil or grease is found, discontinue use of cylinder immediately
and contact your supplier.

3. Attach regulators to proper cylinders. A wrench should be used to ensure tight
connections. (Fig. 2) Make sure they are tightened in correct directions.
(Normally it is clockwise for Oxygen and counterclockwise for Acetylene.)
