- OXYGEN causes many metals and other materials to burn violently.
- INERT GAS OR CARBON DIOXIDE can cause suffocation in confined spaces.
- FUEL GAS can explode in air or oxygen.
- Keep regulator clean and in good repair. Do NOT oil or grease regulator. Grease and
oil on regulator or valve parts can cause regulator fires.
- Always work in a well-ventilated area.
- Prevent leaks and keep away from heat, flame, and sparks.
- Do not change CGA inlet connection from number stamped on regulator body.
- Follow Operating Instructions on this sheet.
- This regulator must be installed, operated, and maintained only by trained servicemen.
- For complete safety information on welding equipment, read form 2035 (oxy-fuel gas)
and 52-529 ((arc welding). For safety information on gases, see your supplier.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
TO CONNECT:
1. Open the cylinder or station valve slightly, for an instant. (This is termed 'cracking the
valve'). This will blow out dust or dirt that may have collected in the valve outlet. Be sure
to keep your face away from the valve outlet to protect your eyes from dust or dirt.
Never crack a fuel gas valve near spark, flames or any other possible source of ignition.
2. Make sure the regulator pressure-adjusting screw is released by turning it counterclock-
wise until it turns freely.
3. Attach the regulator to the valve and tighten the connection nut with a wrench.
4. Open the cylinder valve slowly. (Open acetylene cylinder valves no more than 1- 1/2 turns).
Never stand in front of or behind the regulator when opening the valve. Always stand
to one side.
5. Attach the hose to the regulator outlet and to the equipment with which it is to be used.
Tighten the connecting nuts with a wrench .
TO ADJUST PRESSURE:
1. To increase delivery pressure, turn the pressure adjusting screw clockwise. To decrease
delivery pressure, turn the pressure-adjusting screw counterclockwise.
2. When making the initial delivery pressure adjustment, all valves downstream of the
regulator must be open or you will not get a true working-pressure reading on the
delivery-pressure gauge.
IMPORTANT: Before starting operations, test all connections with a Leak Test Solution that is
suitable for oxygen service, such as P/N 998771 (8 oz. container). Correct any leaks before
starting work. Testing should be performed after torch or other gas-using device has been
properly connected and with maximum delivery pressure in the delivery line.
