When the cylinder in use has been depleted to approximately 500 PSI (35 bar), the low pressure warning alarm
will sound indicating that the cylinder needs to be replaced.
Step 1)
Open the second cylinder and note the gauge pressure to assure that it is full.
Step 2)
Close the drained cylinder.
Step 3)
Open the bleeder valve (MP-2H, MP-2HCYL, MP-4H, MP-4HCYL) to relieve the pressure. Remove the CGA-346/347
hand tight or wrench tight nut.
Step 4)
Remove the drained cylinder and install a full cylinder in its place. Reinstall the CGA connections. Close bleeder
valves. The cylinder is now ready for use when the other cylinder's pressure descends to 500 PSI.
note: The system is equipped with check valves that will prevent back flow from the other cylinder in use.
Make sure all personnel have egressed the hazardous area and have disconnected from the breathing air system.
1. Close cylinder valves.
2. Depressurize manifold pressure by pulling the relief valve ring.
3. Close the regulator by turning the control knob counterclockwise.
4. Disconnect airline hose(s) and reinstall dust cap(s).
5. Remove connections from cylinders and reinstall cylinder valve covers (if applicable).

monthly:
1. Check regulators, gauges, and valves for external leakage.
2. Inspect cylinder valves for proper closure.
3. Check cylinder pigtails for cleanliness, flexibility, wear, leakage, blisters on the hose, thread damage, and
o-rings on CGA fittings. Replace damaged/missing items immediately.
Annually:
1. Check relief valve's pressure setting.
2. Check regulator function by opening and closing regulator valve knob fully.
every 4 years:
1. Replace all flexible pigtails--consult factory.
