tight standards, the customer should also inspect for any loosening of
parts that may occur in shipping or installation. Loose parts may be
dangerously propelled from an assembly. If there are adverse signs
(leakage or other malfunction), return the assembly to the supplier.
While it is advised that soiled regulators be returned for cleaning, simple
external dust or grease may be removed by a clean cloth and if required
with aqueous detergent suitable for the application. If there are signs
of internal contamination, return to the supplier.
4. Before system start-up, it is recommended that all systems be
pressure tested, leak tested, and purged with an inert gas such as
nitrogen. To accomplish this with connections other than a CGA
580, it will be necessary to use an adapter. The recommended
use of an adapter is for temporary use, for start-up and system
checks only. Adapters should never be used on a permanent basis.
If the regulator includes gas specific inlet connections, their purpose is
to prevent usage on the wrong gases. Adaptation or alteration for use
on other gases can be dangerous, and is not recommended.

GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES

Comply with precautions listed in C.G.A. Pamphlet P-1, Safe Handling of
Compressed Gases in Containers.
Consult the cylinder distributor for the proper use of cylinders and for any
restrictions on their use (such as flow rate and temperature requirements).
Never use an open flame when leak testing.
Always open valves slowly when high-pressure gases are being used.
Always be sure that a cylinder contains the correct gas before connecting it to
any regulator.
Always leak-test any manifold or distribution pipeline before using.
Always be sure that the gas in the system is the correct gas for the intended use.
