WARNING: Do not attempt to pressurize, operate, maintain or
transport the Nitropak until you have read and fully understand the
instructions and hazards to the product.
• Any modifications to the Nitropak including replacement of parts with custom parts can
result in hazardous operation of the Nitropak. Possible consequences include:
• Pressure can cause parts to be ejected at high speed.
• Unit could become combustible/explosive.
• Contact with gasses may be hot, cold, toxic or otherwise hazardous.
• Hoses may fly around dangerously.
• Damage or destruction to internal or external components.
• If the Nitropak is leaking or malfunctioning, remove from service.
• Never allow problems or lack of maintenance to go unreported.
• Do not modify equipment or add attachments not approved by manufacturer.
• Always wear safety glasses when operating.
• Do not use Nitropak past the hydrostatic certification date on certification label on the
front panel.
• Be careful not to get liquid into the Nitropak. Use Ralston Liquid Trap (Nitropak-TRS0)
to prevent liquid contamination.
Storage and Transport Warnings:
• Do not fly with any compressed gas in the Nitropak. Make sure all valves are open fully
(counter clockwise) and both pressure gauges read zero.
• Ship ahead via common carrier using ground shipment with no compressed gas in the
cylinder. Transporting via commercial airline is not recommended as airline personnel
usually need to see inside a gas cylinder to confirm it is indeed empty prior to allowing it
onto a flight.
• When transporting by vehicle other than airplane with compressed gas in the Nitropak,
be sure to have the system fill valve closed; all other valves open, and all ports capped
before transporting.
• Do not drop.
• Do not leave in excessive temperatures such as trunk of a car or truck cab. Heat causes
gas to expand and may cause the Burst Disc to burst.
Pressurizing Warnings:
• Inspect valves and accessories before pressurizing your Nitropak.
• Do not connect Nitropak to supply sources having greater pressure than 3,000 psi (210 bar).
• Do not pressurize the system beyond 3,000 psi (210 bar).
• Gradually apply pressure to system to avoid a sudden pressure surge to the equipment.
• Use equipment that can handle the pressure exerted by your Nitropak. Over pressure of
attached equipment may cause damage to your accessories.
• Only use clean,dry gases such as nitrogen. Other gases may become combustible at
high pressures.
