If you are not certain you fully understand the safety precautions for handling gases, we urge you to obtain and read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each gas being used.  \nDo not permit untrained persons to install, operate, or maintain these manifolds. Do not attempt to install or operate these manifolds until you have read and fully understand these instructions. If you do not fully understand these instructions, contact BeaconMedæs.  \nBe sure this information reaches the operator. Your supplier has extra copies.  \nPart No.  1   \nInstruction Manual  \nAFAM3000 Series  \n1- Safety Precautions  \nProtect yourself and others. Read and understand the following instructions before attempting to use this equipment. Failure to understand and follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Because of the many potential hazards associated with gases, read the Material Safety Data Sheet for each gas you will be using.  \n• Know and understand the physical and chemical properties of the gas being used.  \n• Observe general precautions for the use of gases.  \n• Observe safety precautions for the gas being used.  \n• Read and follow precautions on cylinder labels.  \n• Never use these manifolds with gases not compatible with the materials of construction. The use of gases not compatible with the materials of construction may cause damage to equipment or injury to personnel.  \n• If flammable gases are used with this equipment do not locate it near open flames or any other source of ignition.  \n• If toxic or flammable gases are used with this equipment, emergency equipment applicable to the gases in use should be available in the operating area.  \n• Many gases can cause asphyxiation by displacing oxygen in the atmosphere. Make certain the area where these manifolds are operated is well ventilated. Provide a device to warn personnel of oxygen depletion in the work area.  \n• Do not release toxic or flammable gases in the vicinity of personnel. Use this equipment only in well ventilated areas. Vent gases to the outside atmosphere, and in an area away from personnel. Be sure that venting and disposal methods are in accordance with Federal, State, Provincial and local requirements. Locate and construct vent lines to prevent condensation or gas accumulation. Be sure the vent outlet is NOT obstructed by rain, snow, ice, insects, birds, etc. Do not inter-connect vent lines; if more than one vent is needed, use separate lines.  \n• Relief devices should be installed and properly vented in all gas handling systems to protect against equipment failure and over-pressurization.  \n• Never connect this equipment to a supply source having a pressure greater than the maximum rated pressure. Refer to the Product specifications for maximum inlet pressures.  \n• Never permit oil, grease, or other combustible materials to come in contact with cylinders, manifolds, and connections. Oil and grease may react and ignite when in contact with some gases – particularly oxygen and nitrous oxide.  \n• Cylinder, header, and master valves should always be opened very s-l-o-w-l-y. Heat of recompression may ignite combustible materials.  \n• Flexible hoses should never be kinked, twisted, or bent into a radius smaller than 3 inches. Mistreatment may cause the flexible hoses to burst.  \n• Do not apply heat. Some materials may react and ignite while in contact with some gases – particularly oxygen and nitrous oxide.  \n• Cylinders should always be secured with racks, chains, or straps.
