Hf there is a ‘malfunction or other type of operations problem withthe vessel, contact the closest BOC location immediately. \Vaive protection caps must remsin in place unless container is secured with valve outlet piped t use point, Do not drag, slide or rol cylinders. Use a suitable hand truck for eylinder movement. Use a pressure reducing regulator when connecting eyinder to lower pressure (<3000 psig) piping or systems. Do not heat cylinder by any meus to inerease the discharge rate of product from the eylinder. Use a check valve or trap in the discharge line to prevent hazardous back flow into the system. Protect cylinders from physical damage, Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heavily trafficked. areas and emergency exis. Do nat allow the temperature where cylinders are stored to exoeed 130°F (54°C). ‘Cylinders should be stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Full and empty ‘plinders should be segregated, Use a "first in-first out” inventory system to prevent full cylinders being stored for excessive periods of time, Post "NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAMES" signs inthe storage arca or use area. There should be no sources of ignition in the storage or use ares For additonal storage recommendations, consult Compressed Gas Association's Pamphlets P-1,P-14 and Sefety Bulletin $B-2.
