Compressed Gases
WARNING
Cylinders of compressed gas, such as the carrier gas and calibration
gas, must be handled with care.
Please observe the following handling procedures:
Ensure each tank is clearly labeled.
Do not store cylinders in hazardous locations. Store cylinders in an upright
position away from possible sources of heat or sparks.
Do not heat the cylinders or expose them to direct sunlight. The cylinders may
rupture at high temperatures.
Do not mutilate cylinders.
Do not drag or roll cylinders. Large cylinders should only be moved on carts
designed for compressed gas cylinders. Do not move cylinders without the
valve protection cap in place.
Always secure cylinders before removing the cylinder valve protection cap.
Always secure the calibration gas cylinder before connecting the regulator and
adapter tubing.
Use only the specified regulator for the carrier and calibration gas cylinders.
Never transport Explorer while it is connected to a cylinder.
