Do not fill the Max-Flo Micro system beyond the operational pressure ratingof the cylinder to which it is attached. Never fill the Max-Flo Micro system to pressure above 4,500 psi.– Fast filling of cylinders results in heating of the gas and cylinder. If filled too fast, this heat can be<strong>co</strong>meexcessive which may cause damage to the cylinder. Such damage can lead to failure of the cylinder,causing potential property damage and personal injury. Care must be taken so that the cylindertemperature does not exceed 130 degrees F (55 degrees C).– Prior to each filling, the cylinder must be examined for signs of damage, including heat/flame exposure.If any damage is observed, do not fill the cylinder. Take the suspect cylinder to a DOT or HSE authorizedhydrostatic tester for inspection and pressure testing.– The cylinder can fly off with enough force to injure or kill if the cylinder is unscrewed while pressurized.Improper use, filing, storage or disposal may result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Thecylinder must only be filled by properly trained personnel. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 130degrees F (55degrees C), when pressurized.

Please refer to the sticker on theunderside of the regulator. A 3000psi regulator should only be used with a 3000psirated tank, and a 4500psi regulator should only be used with a 4500psi rated tank.Always release all pressure from your air tank by dis<strong>co</strong>nnecting the macroline hosebetween the regulator and the gun, and turning the on/off valve to on to release thepressure before removing the cylinder.Always wear <strong>co</strong>rrect eye protection when working on any high pressure system.The cylinder can fly off with enough force to kill if the cylinder is unscrewedwhile pressurized. Improper use, filing, storage or disposal may result in propertydamage, serious injury, or death. The cylinder must only be filled by properly trainedpersonnel. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 130 degrees F (55 degrees C),when pressurized. Do not modify the cylinder in any way, or place any stickers onthe cylinder.©2005 SMART PARTS, INC.
