It is allowed to exceed filling pressure by not more than 10% since when the cylinder cools down, the pressure will
become the nominal working pressure. For recharging be sure that:
 Air meets the requirements of EN 12021
 The date of last pressure test is engraved onto the cylinder
Cylinder valve has to be kept shut whilst being sent to refilling to avoid moisture from entering it. Cylinder shall be
protected from shocks during transport and storage. Do not carry cylinders by the hand wheel valve.
8.2 Cleaning and disinfecting
After each use is necessary to clean the dirty parts. This should be done with warm soapy water. The rinse should be

within one minute.
9.2 Positive pressure of the demand valve
- Open cylinder valve
- Connect demand valve to testing equipment
- Release button (17) by pushing on rubber button (4)
- The control pressure gauge shall read 3.2 to 3.9 mbar.
9.3 Pressure in the cylinder
