MARINE COMPRESSED GAS OXYGEN REGULATOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY GUIDE

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR OXYGEN REGULATOR,
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The American Healthcare 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 American Healthcare 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 American Healthcare 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.

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.

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.

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.
