MARINE COMPRESSED
GAS OXYGEN REGULATOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY GUIDE |
|
BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR OXYGEN REGULATOR,
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS |
|
The
FISH-FLO2
Oxygen Regulator has been designed to
provide a constant flow of oxygen from the cylinder, directly to
the aerator or oxygen stone. To increase the oxygen flow, turn the
selector knob from "0" to a setting of "1" through "11". Each
oxygen regulator is equipped with an internal pressure relief
valve that will prevent over-pressurization of the regulator. The
FISH-FLO2
Oxygen Regulator is specifically
designed for oxygen service only. Use of this regulator for gases
other than compressed oxygen up to 2500 PSIG, is prohibited by
and any user must assume all liabilities and consequences. |

MAINTENANCE AND
CARE
Wipe down with a
clean, soft cloth. If contaminated, the regulator should be taken
out of service immediately.
If your
FISH-FLO2
Oxygen Regulator is accidentally immersed in salt
water, remove the red dust cover from the safety relief valve,
flush well with fresh water, and let dry before using again. |
|
CONNECTION
GUIDELINES
Never stand in
front of a cylinder outlet or regulator when operating the
cylinder valve. Remove the two protective covers from the 540
Valve Nipple and the Hose Barb before attempting to connect to a
cylinder. DO NOT REMOVE THE 5/8" DIAMETER
RED DUST COVER FROM THE SIDE OF THE REGULATOR NEXT TO THE HOSE
BARB. IT IS THERE TO HELP PREVENT CONTAMINATION. REFER TO THE
SAFETY TIPS AND WARNINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER. Be sure
to properly inspect both the cylinder and regulator for any signs
of grease and oil. If grease or oil is suspected or found, do not
use this device. |

TRANS-FLO2 FLEXIBLE TRANSFILLING ASSEMBLY |
|
Directions For
Use |
- Read all warnings before
proceeding.
- Remove the red protective
caps from the ends of the Transfill Adapter and fully close the
Relief Valve.
- Connect the Transfill Adapter
supply fitting to the high pressure "Supply Tank" using the
Handwheel. This is the housing that contains the gauge and
relief valve.
- Connect the other end of the
Transfill adapter to the tank to be filled, "Receiving Tank",
using the other Handwheel. Do not support
any weight with the hose.
- Fully open the cylinder valve
on the "Receiving Tank" SLOWLY!
|
- Slightly open the cylinder
valve on the "Supply Tank" SLOWLY!
- Wait until the sound of
contents being transferred has stopped.
- Fully close the the cylinder
valve on the "Supply Tank" SLOWLY!
- Fully close the cylinder
valve on the "Receiving Tank" SLOWLY!
- Open the Relief Valve on the
Tranfill Adapter SLOWLY!
- After the pressure has been
relieved, remove the Transfill Adapter and replace the red
protective caps.

Do not exceed the working pressure of this assembly.
Hose and connections should be regularly checked for
wear, abrasion, cutting, contamination and movement.
Cleanliness must be maintained through out the complete system.
Use no oil.
Never use thread sealants that are not approved for oxygen
service.
Failure to follow
these instructions may result in serious personal injury and
property damage. |

SAFETY TIPS AND WARNINGS |
| 1.
Never use oil or grease with this oxygen regulator.
2. Never use oxygen around or near
an open flame.
3. Never smoke in an area where
oxygen is in use.
4. Never use oxygen near boat
bilges or where gasoline fumes may be present.
5. Never use industrial oxygen
from a cylinder without reducing the pressure through a regulator
intended for that specific gas.
6. Never force connections that
do not fit properly. |
7.
Never permit gases to suddenly enter a regulator.
8. Refill cylinders slowly to prevent
excessive heat build-up and possible damage to cylinders.
9. Keep out of reach of
children.
10. Always be sure that all
fittings and threads are matched and properly for the gas
intended.
11. Never use oxygen as a
pressure source to clear an obstructed line or to operate
pneumatic tools.
12. Always keep the oxygen
cylinder secured. |

|
Do not use organic-based thread
sealant on any part of this regulator. This oxygen regulator is
equipped with an internal relief valve designed to relieve excess
pressure should the regulator malfunction. This relief valve is
designed to operate only as a means of a warning signal. Should a
malfunction occur, turn off the cylinder valve immediately and
disconnect the regulator. Do not attempt to operate the oxygen
regulator, unless you are properly trained. |
|
CAUTION: Oxygen is a
non-flammable gas, however, the presence of oxygen will
drastically increase the rate of heat and combustion. Inspect for
traces of oil, grease or any other type of contamination, or
connection damage before operating. Failure to comply with these
safety precautions can result in personal injury or property
damage. Do not proceed to use until all equipment and components
are correct for safe oxygen use. |
|
CONNECTING A CGA
540 NUT AND NIPPLE INLET
1. Check to be sure
that the valve on the cylinder is off.
2. In a clockwise direction, thread the regulator inlet nut onto
the cylinder valve.
3. Tighten the inlet nut with the hand-wheel attached to the
regulator. |
|
OPENING/CLOSING
THE CYLINDER VALVE
1. Before turning
on the oxygen cylinder valve, check to be sure that the regulator
is in the "0" position.
2. Stand behind the cylinder so that the cylinder is between you
and the regulator. Remember: Never stand in front of a cylinder
outlet or regulator when opening the cylinder valve.
3. Begin turning the cylinder valve counter-clockwise
VERY SLOWLY to open the valve.
4. If you suspect a leak, turn the cylinder valve off and relieve
the pressure by turning the flow selector knob clockwise and wait
for the oxygen flow to stop. Then, turn the regulator off by
turning the selector knob to the "0" position. Remove the
regulator from the cylinder. Call your authorized
FISH-FLO2
Dealer. |
