Remove Cylinder from Bag:
Break anti-tamper tags, open the bag flap
carefully and release quick-fire strap from

Open the bag fully and check that firing
pin is fully home. If necessary push the
actuator into the reducer/cylinder valve
and fit the firing pin.
Ease the contents gauge through the
slot in the bag window and withdraw the
cylinder from the bag.
Flex the hose and check for wear and
damage. Return apparatus for service if

Fit 200 bar G5/8 pattern charging

CAUTION:
DO NOT immerse the cylinder valve.
Keep the reducer/cylinder valve clear
of the water and immerse the cylinder
vertically in water so that three quarters
of the cylinder is covered.
Slowly open the compressor supply valve.
Charge cylinders at 40 L/min, (10 min.
cylinders should take approximately 10
minutes to charge and 15 min. cylinders
approximately 15 minutes), then close the

When the cylinder has cooled check that
it is full. If necessary, open the compressor
supply valve briefly until the contents
gauge shows full.
Close the compressor supply valve,
bleed off pressure from the supply hose,
disconnect the charging adaptor from the
cylinder and fit the charging adaptor dust
cover.
