 I. CARBON DIOXIDE AS AN EXTINGUISHING AGENT

Carbon Dioxide is a colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive gas with an approximate

density 50% greater than air. It suppresses fire by reducing the oxygen content of the
atmosphere to a point where combustion cannot be sustained.

Carbon Dioxide is acceptable for use in occupied spaces. Care must be taken, and appropriate
alarms shall be used, to ensure that all personnel are evacuated from the protected space prior to
discharging the system.

Toxicity: In low concentrations, CO2 is only mildly toxic. Concentrations of 9% or greater can
result in loss of consciousness almost immediately. This is due to the lack of oxygen rather than
any toxicity in the CO2.

Cleanliness: Carbon Dioxide is clean, leaves no residue, thereby eliminating costly after-fire
clean-up, and keeping expensive down-time to a minimum. Most materials such as steel,
stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other metals as well as plastics, rubber and electronic
components are unaffected by exposure to Carbon Dioxide.

Other Safety Considerations: The high pressure discharge of Carbon Dioxide from the system
nozzle(s) can create noise loud enough to be startling. The high velocity discharge can be
significant enough to dislodge objects located directly in the discharge path. Enough turbulence
may be created in the enclosure to move unsecured paper and other light objects. Direct contact
with the vaporizing agent being discharged from the nozzle(s) will have a chilling effect on
objects, and can cause frostbite burns to the skin. The liquid phase vaporizes rapidly when
mixed with air and limits the chilling hazard to the immediate vicinity of the nozzle(s).

Carbon Dioxide is colorless. Discharging into humid atmospheres may cause a reduction of
visibility for a short time, due to fogging and /or the production of dry ice snow.

If it becomes necessary for a person to enter a space before it is thoroughly ventilated, this may
be accomplished by using a fresh air mask or other type of self-contained breathing apparatus.
DO NOT USE a filter type of mask or a canister gas mask. No one should enter such a space
without a person as observer and standby located outside the space.

Should a person be overcome by carbon dioxide, it is essential that the person be immediately
rescued from the space containing the gas. To revive a person so overcome, give plenty of fresh
air and apply artificial respiration (as in the case of drowning) without the use of carbon dioxide as
a stimulant. Call a physician.

An ammonia inhalant may be used and the person should be kept warm by the application of
friction and heat to the extremities.

Storage: Carbon Dioxide is stored in high pressure cylinders as a combination of liquid and gas.
At 70F (21C), approximately 70 percent by weight of cylinder weight is liquid CO2. The
pressure within the cylinder depends on the temperature, being 504 pounds per square inch at 32
degrees F and 850 pounds per square inch at 70 degrees F. The carbon dioxide content is never
determined by using a pressure gauge. The amount of carbon dioxide in a cylinder can be
determined only by weighing the cylinder.

CO2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTIONS

1. Storage

Ansul carbon-dioxide fire suppression systems store the suppression agent in

high-pressure steel cylinders. Each cylinder is equipped with a valve assembly
and a flexible discharge hose to control the discharge. The cylinder valve
assemblies attach to the distribution piping by means of the flexible hoses.

Actuation of the suppression system is initiated by one or two control head(s),

which attach to the control ports of the cylinder valve(s) on the pilot cylinder(s).
The remaining cylinder(s) are actuated by pressure within the pipe manifold
created from the discharging pilot cylinder(s).

Single cylinder suppression systems utilize cylinder straps to affix the storage
cylinders to bulkheads or other rigid structural members. Marine cylinder
brackets and clamps are employed for multiple cylinder suppression systems to
secure the cylinders and absorb the discharge reactions and to facilitate system
servicing and maintenance.

WARNING: PRESSURIZED (CHARGED) CYLINDERS ARE EXTREMELY

HAZARDOUS AND IF NOT HANDLED PROPERLY, ARE CAPABLE OF
VIOLENT DISCHARGE. THIS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY,
DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. ALWAYS HANDLE CARBON DIOXIDE
CYLINDERS ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.

2. Cylinder and Valve Assemblies

Carbon dioxide is stored in steel cylinders as a liquid under its own vapor
pressure. The cylinders are manufactured in accordance with Department of
Transportation requirements. Each cylinder is equipped with a forged brass
valve assembly, which contains a safety pressure relief for protection against
over pressurization, a discharge outlet and a filling inlet.

The cylinder valve mates with a control head and flexible discharge hose for
agent release and distribution purposes. This cylinder contains a CV98 type
valve. The valve is a pressure seat type and is sealed against leakage by the
pressure of the carbon dioxide within the cylinder.

120 pound cylinder/valve assemblies are used for this Fire Suppression System.
The 120-lb. cylinders have a CV98 valve and a 5/8 inch ID discharge hose.
 50 pound cylinder/valve assemblies are used for this Fire Suppression System.
The 50-lb. cylinders have a CV98 valve and a 5/8 inch ID discharge hose.

WARNING: CYLINDERS ARE FACTORY-EQUIPPED WITH A PROTECTION

CAP THREADED SECURELY OVER THE VALVE ASSEMBLY. THIS DEVICE
IS A SAFETY FEATURE AND PROVIDES PROTECTION DURING HANDLING.
THIS CAP MUST BE INSTALLED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN THE
CYLINDERS ARE CONNECTED INTO THE SYSTEM PIPING OR BEING
FILLED. DO NOT REMOVE OR HANDLE A CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDER
UNLESS THE PROTECTION CAP IS INSTALLED.

3. Flexible Hoses

Flexible discharge hoses are used to provide the interconnection between the
cylinder valve and the distribution manifold or piping. The 5/8 inch ID hose is
used with the 120-Ib. & 50-lb. cylinders. The hose contains a swivel female
connection for the CV98 valve and a NPT male thread for the pipe manifold.

WARNING: FLEXIBLE HOSES MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM

PIPING BEFORE ATTACHING TO THE CYLINDER VALVES TO PREVENT
INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN INADVERTENT CARBON DIOXIDE
DISCHARGE.

4. Cylinder Bracketing

Marine cylinder brackets and clamps are designed to rigidly support the installed
carbon dioxide cylinders. The bracketing components are constructed of heavy
structural steel. Bracket assemblies are available in modules for two to six
cylinders and can also be mated together for combination over six. Bracketing
can be assembled to support single row, double row or back-to-back rows of
cylinders. Bracketing uprights and weigh rail supports are also available for
weighing cylinders in place. Bracketing components are painted with a red
enamel coating. Uprights and back frame assemblies can be bolted or welded
together.

5. Actuation

Actuation of the suppression system is initiated by use of the control heads.

Control heads are components that attach to the control ports of the carbon
dioxide cylinder valve assemblies and stop valves. The control head(s) initiates
the suppression system discharge by means of local and/or remote actuation
which allows the carbon dioxide to pressurize the system piping envelope and
operate the system.

One control head is required for suppression systems with one or two cylinders.
Two control heads are required for suppression systems that have three or more
carbon dioxide cylinders.

WARNING: CONTROL HEADS MUST BE IN THE SET POSITION BEFORE

ATTACHING TO THE CYLINDER VALVES TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
CARBON DIOXIDE DISCHARGE.
 Lever Release Actuator (Control Head).

The manual lever release actuator provides a manual means of CO2 agent
actuation by direct manual actuation of its pull lever (i.e, LOCAL) or cable
actuation when used in conjunction with a remote manual pull station (i.e.,
REMOTE). The control head is equipped with an operating lever secured in the
SET position by a safety/locking pin. By removing the locking pin, the lever can
be rotated to the OPEN position, thereby operating the component utilizing the
control head. The control head is assembled on the cylinder valves and stop
valves. The locking pin can be used to prevent accidental discharge when
installing a cable operated system; however, this pin and wire MUST be removed
when used in conjunction with a remote pull station and cable installation is
complete. NOTE: Failure to complete this step will cause system to NOT
actuate when pull station(s) is used.

Pressure-Operated Stackable Actuator

The pressure-operated stackable actuator, PN 428566, is necessary when

pneumatic actuation is required on any selector valve. This actuator is installed
directly on top of the selector valve, a lever release must be installed on top of
the actuator, and a in. pressure line must be attached to the 1/8 in. pressure
port on the side of the actuator. The actuator must be manually reset after use
by pushing the stem back into the actuation body. The actuator is constructed of
brass. When installed in actuation line, Selector valve pneumatic actuation line
kit, PN 436127, must also be utilized.

Connecting Link.

The connecting link is used to connect the lever release actuators located on the
pilot cylinders, employing the CV-98 valves. An opening in the end of the link
allows connection of the wire rope for cable pull actuated systems.

Stainless Steel Actuation Hose

The Stainless Steel Actuation Hose is used to connect the actuation line flared
tees between each agent tank. The hose has the same thread, 7/16-20, as the
flared tees. The actuation hose allows flexibility between the rigid actuation
piping and the tank valve. Maximum Bend Radius: 27/32 in. (21 mm).

6. Valves

Selector (Directional) Valve

The directional stop valve is used to direct the flow of carbon dioxide into a single
hazard or with various types of multiple hazard system compartments. Every
valve must have a lever release actuator installed to it. The directional valve can
be operated manually (LOCAL) or by means of a cable pull station (REMOTE).
The directional valve is installed in the distribution manifold.

Check Valve

The check valve is used in directional valve arrangements that utilize a common
set of carbon dioxide cylinders to protect multiple spaces of unequal sizes. The
check valves divide the cylinder assemblies into sub-sets, for discharge of the
required amount of carbon dioxide into each protected space. Refer to the
system drawings for requirements
 Isolation Valve

The isolation valve is used in conjunction with selector valve systems, and can
be used to isolate pressure operated alarms and shut down devices. It is
designed to withstand a minimum burst pressure of 6000 psi (413.7 bar) and is
tested to a working pressure, with carbon dioxide, of 900 psi (62.1 bar).

7. Discharge Nozzles (Refer to drawings for type and size)

Discharge nozzles control the distribution of carbon dioxide into the protected
area or onto the protected equipment (or process). Ansul discharge nozzles are
designed to provide the proper combination of flow rate and discharge pattern to
protect vital equipment in a total-flooding manner. The Ansul discharge nozzles
are permanently marked to identify the nozzles code number.

Baffle Nozzle, Type B and BL.

The Baffle type nozzle is used in total flooding applications only. Placed around
the outside edge and near the overhead allows for a 180 fan spray of carbon
dioxide. Discharge rates depend upon orifice size and nozzle pressure. The B
type nozzle consists of a single orifice ranging in sizes from 1 to 14 with an inlet
connection to the distribution piping at NPT. The BL type nozzle consists of
orifice sizes from 9 to 16 with an inlet connection to the distribution piping at
NPT. A strainer is included on nozzles having a code orifice number of 3 or less.

8. Auxiliary Equipment

Auxiliary equipment consists of supplementary items required for a functional

carbon dioxide system, such as time delays, pressure switches and trips, and
other related hardware including warning and instruction plates.

Time Delay

The time delay assembly consists of a cylinder assembly with a manual release
to allow instant override of the delay. The length of the delay is factory set and is
not adjustable. The delay time is listed at 70F. Actual delay times may with
ambient conditions and installation variations. This assembly is installed in the
piping manifold arrangement directly after the pilot (control) cylinders to allow
alarms to sound, as well as shutdown equipment and ventilation prior to carbon
dioxide discharge. The outlet port is connected to the downstream piping or
carbon dioxide manifold for pressure operated (slave cylinder actuation) control.
Time delays are available in 30 or 68 second increments.

Marine Actuation Station

The marine actuation station is used to release the system pilot cylinders by
means of compressed nitrogen gas. The station comes equipped with
stainless steel compression fittings or attaching O.D. stainless steel tubing.
The enclosure is rainproof, constructed of 16 ga. Galvanized steel and is
equipped with a draw pull catch. Actuation pressure is achieved by means of an
LT-20-L Nitrogen cartridge.
Pressure Operated Siren

Pressure-operated siren(s) are connected to the distribution piping and uses the
pressure of the discharged carbon dioxide for activation. The carbon dioxide
pressure creates a high pitch and high decibel wail. The siren is used as a
means of predischarge alarm warning personnel to evacuate the space prior to
discharge. The pressure within the piping system will also allow the siren to
alarm through most of the discharge time.

Pressure-Operated Switches

The pressure-operated switch is connected to the distribution piping and utilizes

the pressure of the discharging carbon dioxide for activation. The carbon dioxide
pressure displaces a piston, which toggles the electrical switch. The piston can
also be operated manually by pulling upward on the stem. These switches are
used to annunciate alarms and shut down ventilation and other equipment. The
standard switch is double pole, single-throw (DPST). Other switch types and
styles are also available. Refer to system drawings for the pressure switch used.

Safety Header

The safety header is a device used to relieve high pressure build-up in a closed
section of piping. If actuation pressure should get inadvertently trapped and
should an increase in temperature cause the pressure to rise to a dangerous
level, the burst disc in the header safety will rupture, allowing the pressure to
escape.

Header Vent Plug

The header vent plug is used to release low pressure build up that may occur in
closed systems utilizing time delays or selector valves. The header vent plug
should also be installed on cylinder sides of the check valves on both main and
reserve systems to relieve any pressure that may leak past the check valve and
accidentally actuate the reserve system while the main system is discharging.

Instruction and Warning Nameplates

Instruction and warning nameplates are included throughout the system

installation. These plates provide operating personnel the proper operating
instructions and appropriate precautions in the event of system operation or an
emergency.

Warning:

Warning VACATE plates are required and shall be located at each pressure
operated alarm siren. This plate provides warning to personnel to vacate the
space once alarm sounds.

Warning ENTRANCE plates are required and shall be located at each spaces
entrance to the compartment. This plate provides the precaution nary measures
to personnel to warn that the space contains and is protected by a carbon dioxide
fire extinguishing system and not to enter the space.

Instruction:

Operating instruction plates are required and located throughout the system
installation. These plates are provided to allow personnel the information and
instruction to the proper actions required in case of system operation.
9. Optional Equipment

Optional equipment consists of supplementary or other accessory items required

for a functional carbon dioxide system, such as weigh scales, special tools, other
related hardware and miscellaneous alarms.

Discharge Indicator

The discharge indicator is installed in the discharge piping to visually indicate a

system discharge. When carbon dioxide is discharged, a piston pushes the outer
nameplate off, exposing the inner nameplate System Discharge. This
component is optional. Refer to the system drawings for the use of this device.

Weigh Scale

The weigh scale gives direct reading of the weight of the cylinders. This
arrangement provides simplified weighing for cylinders in place without
disconnecting them from the cylinder bank. The scale consists of a scale, beam,
yoke and weigh hook. The weigh scale hook shall be placed on the cylinder
foundation weigh bar for proper weighing of the cylinder.
 III. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This Ansul fire extinguishing system is manually operated. It is imperative that there be as little
delay as possible in carrying out the following instructions, as the effectiveness of the carbon
dioxide is materially increased by smothering the fire in its early stages.

APPLICABLE TO HANDLING PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT. RECHARGE OF CO2 CYLINDER
VALVE ASSEMBLIES MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED ONLY BY ANSUL DISTRIBUTORS.

1. General

Fire suppression systems require proper care to ensure normal operation at all times.
Periodic inspections must be made to determine the exact condition of the system
equipment. A regular program of systematic maintenance is essential for proper
operation of the carbon dioxide system. A periodic maintenance schedule must be
followed and an inspection log maintained for ready reference. As a minimum, the log
should record inspection interval, inspection procedure, maintenance performed, if any as
a result of inspection, and name of inspector performing task. If inspection indicated
areas of rust or corrosion, immediately clean and repaint the area.

2. Preventive Maintenance

Perform preventive maintenance as instructed below. The inspection procedures and

intervals are recommended and can be modified to fit into normal facility schedules
providing the intervals do not exceed the time periods indicated.

Monthly

Inspect hazard area system components.

Semi-Annually

Check CO2 cylinder weights.

Test pressure switch.
 Every 2 years

Blow out distribution piping.

Every 5 years

Inspect and/or hydrostatically test CO2 cylinders and flexible discharge hoses.

3. Inspection and Test Procedures

Inspection Procedures - Monthly

1. Make a general inspection survey of all cylinders and equipment for damaged
or missing parts. If any equipment requires replacement refer to the appropriate
instructions.

2. Ensure access to each hazard area manual release stations, discharge

nozzles, and cylinders are unobstructed and there are no obstructions to the
operation of the equipment or distribution of carbon dioxide.

3. Inspect CO2 lever release actuator control heads for physical damage,
deterioration, corrosion, distortion, cracks, dirt, and loose couplings. Tighten
loose couplings. Replace control head if damage is found. If necessary, clean
as indicated in appropriate instructions.

4. Inspect carbon dioxide cylinder and valve assembly for leakage, physical
damage such as cracks, dents, distortions, and worn parts. Check burst disc for
damage and replace if necessary. If necessary, clean cylinder and associated
parts as indicated in the appropriate instructions.

5. Inspect cylinder straps, cradles, and attaching hardware for loose, damaged,
or broken parts. Check straps and associated parts for corrosion, oil, grease,
grime, etc. Tighten loose hardware. Replace damaged parts. If necessary,
clean as indicated in the appropriate instructions.

6. Inspect flexible discharge hoses for loose fittings, damaged threads, cracks,
rust, kinks, distortion, dirt, and frayed wire braids. Tighten loose fittings and
replace hoses, which have stripped threads. If necessary, clean as indicated in
the appropriate instructions.

7. Inspect discharge manifold for physical damage, corrosion, and dirt. Inspect
manifold support brackets and clamps for looseness and damage. Inspect

CAUTION: Nozzles must never be painted. The part number of each nozzle
is stamped on the nozzle. Nozzles must be replaced by nozzles of the
same part number. Nozzles must never be interchanged, since random
interchanging of nozzles will adversely affect proper CO2 distribution within
a hazard area.
9. Inspect pressure switches for deformations, cracks, dirt or other damage.
Replace switch if damage is found.

Semi-Annual Weighing of CO2 Cylinders

WARNING: THE CO2 CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A HIGH RATE

DISCHARGE VALVE, WHICH WHEN ACTUATED, WILL OPEN, REMAIN
OPEN, AND CAN NOT BE CLOSED. ACCIDENTAL ACTUATION OF THE
DISCHARGE VALVE ON AN UNSECURED, DISCONNECTED CYLINDER
WILL RESULT IN A DISCHARGE THRUST CAPABLE OF PROPELLING THE
CYLINDER TO VELOCITIES THAT WILL CAUSE SEVERE PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND BODILY INJURY.

IT IS THEREFORE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE EXACT SEQUENCE

OF CYLINDER REMOVAL ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED. FURTHERMORE,
CYLINDER REMOVAL OR CYLINDER REPLACEMENT MUST ALWAYS BE
SUPERVISED TO ASSURE FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS
IN THIS MANUAL.

1. Remove control head at the coupling nut only (if control head is not present,
proceed to Step 3).

2. Attach protection cap to the actuation port.

3. Loosen cylinder clamps and bracket framing so cylinders can move freely.

4. Hook scale on weighing angle, and slip yoke under cylinder valve assembly.

5. Pull down until cylinder is just clear of floor and lever is horizontal.

6. Read weight directly off scale. The scale is calibrated to compensate for
leverage. Empty cylinder weight is stamped on the cylinder assembly; therefore,
deduct empty weight from scale reading. The result is the amount, known as the
charge weight of carbon dioxide in the cylinder.

7. If charge weight loss exceeds 10%, follow Cylinder Removal Instruction and
forward cylinder WITH DISCHARGE AND CONTROL HEADS REMOVED AND
SAFETY CAP AND PROTECTION CAP INSTALLED to a recognized ANSUL
distributor.

8. After all cylinders have been weighed, tighten cylinder clamps and framing.

9. Reinstall release actuator control heads on cylinders.

10. Tighten control head coupling nuts securely.

Pressure Switch Test

Perform pressure switch test as follows:

1. Contact appropriate personnel and obtain authorization for shutdown.

2. Check that hazard area operations controlled by pressure switch are

operative.
3. Manually operate switch.

4. Check that hazard area operations controlled by pressure switch shut down.

5. Return pressure switch to SET position.

6. Reactivate all systems shut down by pressure switch. This includes power
and ventilation systems, equipment, etc.

Two Year Inspection

Before blowing out system, remove the dust caps from the ends of the
distribution piping to allow any foreign matter to blow clear. Blow out all
distribution piping with dry air or CO2 to make sure it is not obstructed.

WARNING: DO NOT USE WATER OR OXYGEN TO BLOW OUT PIPE LINES.

THE USE OF OXYGEN IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AS THE POSSIBLE
PRESENCE OF EVEN A MINUTE QUANTITY OF OIL MAY CAUSE AN
EXPLOSION.

1. Remove any caps on dirt traps from piping to allow any foreign matter to blow
clear.

2. Remove all carbon dioxide cylinders from manifold. Isolate flexible hoses
and/or secure to the pipe manifolds.

3. Remove release actuator control heads from pilot cylinder(s).

4. Open distributing valve(s) and keep open long enough to ensure cleanliness.

5. Secure space and evacuate all personnel. Discharge test cylinder(s) into
system manifold.

6. Ensure the release actuator control heads are in the set position. Reconnect
all control heads to pilot cylinders.

7. Reconnect all carbon dioxide cylinders to manifold.

 5 Year Inspection and Test Guidelines

Carbon Dioxide Cylinders

CAUTION: These guidelines do not apply to cylinders containing

commodities other than C02.

All ANSUL CO2 cylinders are designed, fabricated, and factory tested to comply
with DOT CFR 49 Regulations 3A- or 3AA- as stamped on each cylinder.

CO2 cylinders must be hydrostatically tested and marked in accordance with

DOT CFR 174.04-1 as follows:

1. Any cylinder which has been discharged or removed from the system
subsequent to five (5) years from the date of the last hydrostatic test, as
indicated by the marking on the cylinder shoulder, must be emptied, retested,
and remarked.

2. A cylinder continuously in service for a period of time exceeding five (5) years
must, after twelve (12) years have elapsed from the date of the previous test
and marking, be removed from service, its contents discharged, and the
cylinder retested and remarked.

3. A cylinder must also be hydrostatic tested and remarked immediately if the

cylinder shows evidence of distortion, damage, cracks, corrosion, or
mechanical damage. Any cylinder failing the hydrostatic pressure test must
be destroyed.

Flexible Hoses

Flexible connections between cylinders and distribution piping must be renewed

or tested at a pressure 1,000 psig (6.9 MPa). At test pressure, the pressure must
not drop at a rate greater than 150 psi (1.03 MPa) per minute for a two minute
period. The test must be performed when the cylinders are retested.

4. Cleaning

Remove dirt from metallic parts using a lint-free cloth moistened with dry cleaning
solvent. Dry parts with clean, dry, lint-free cloth or air blow dry. Wipe non-metallic parts
with clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Remove corrosion with crocus cloth.

5. Nozzle Service

Service nozzles after use as follows:

1. Clean outside of nozzles with rag or soft brush.

THE CYLINDER.

8. Installation of Cylinders

CO2 Cylinders

WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING CHARGED CYLINDERS, ALWAYS

REPLACE THE DISCHARGE HOSES LAST. THIS WILL ELIMINATE THE
POSSIBILITY OF DISCHARGING THE CO2, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE
EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY DAMAGE OR INJURY TO PERSONNEL.

These instructions must be carefully performed in the exact order given below
when any cylinder or group of cylinder is to be installed at any time.

1. Place fully charged cylinder in cylinder rack before removing cylinder cap.
 2. Install the cylinder clamps and bracket framing and tighten bolts only enough
to allow for turning of cylinder as may be required later.

3. Remove the cylinder cap and top protection cap from the cylinder valve.
Remove the side protection cap from the cylinder valve to be equipped with
control head(s). Return cap to the storeroom.

4. Turn cylinder so that the cylinder valve outlet points in the proper direction
with flexible hose, tighten bolts of the cylinder bracket and clamps farming
securely.

5. Make certain release actuator control head(s) has been reset as follows:

NOTE: When two heads are connected in tandem with system connecting link,
make certain BOTH are completely reset BEFORE assembling to
cylinder valves.

Lever Release Actuator (Control Head)

a. Return lever to SET position. The plunger should fully recede into the
control head body.
b. Replace locking pin and secure.

6. Install control heads on pilot cylinder valves and tighten mounting nuts.
d. Remove safety/locking pin.

7. Assemble discharge hose(s) to cylinder valve(s) and tighten mounting nut.

WARNING: TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE, DO NOT INSTALL THE

DISCHARGE HOSE UNTIL CONTROL HEAD HAS BEEN INSTALLED ON
THE CYLINDER VALVE.

9. Cylinder Recharge

CAUTION: CO2 cylinders must not be recharged without a retest if more than five
(5) years have elapsed from the date of last test. Retest shall be in accordance
with the requirements of CER 49, Paragraph 173.34.
