Cylinder Prefill Inspection
 DANGER
Improper filling or abuse of this cylinder, or failure to
follow these safety instructions may cause serious bodily
injury or death. High pressure oxidizing gas vigorously
accelerates combustion.
DO NOT alter or modify cylinder or related components.
DO NOT use oil or grease. Keep cylinder, cylinder valve,
all equipment and connections free of oil and grease to
avoid violent ignition resulting in serious bodily injury or
death.
 WARNING
For medical applications, use only as directed by a
licensed practitioner. Uninterrupted use of high
concentrations of oxygen over a long duration, without
monitoring its effect on oxygen content of arterial blood,
may be harmful.
Oxygen cylinders filled by the HomeFill II shall be used for
personal use only. “Not to be filled for resale or use by
professional users”.
This cylinder is to be used with the HomeFill II system.
This cylinder contains 93±3% oxygen produced by an
oxygen concentration using the pressure swing adsorption
process.
DO NOT handle cylinder or use contents until you are
professionally trained, including emergency procedures.

SECTION 4—INSPECTION AND COMPRESSOR INTERFACE
Part No 1141477 13 HomeFill® II
 WARNING
Use this cylinder in accordance with the HomeFill II
owner’s manual. Open valve slowly, Close valve after each
use and when empty. Secure cylinder during storage and
use. No smoking in cylinder area. Keep away from heat,
flame or spark. Keep out of the reach of children. DO
NOT drop.
Transfilling of this gas is performed by HomeFill II only.
Cylinders that have been refinished and/or exposed to
elevated temperatures MUST be hydrostatically tested
before filling. Cylinder temperature should not exceed
52° C (125° F). Aluminum cylinders subject to the action
of fire or heated temperatures in excess of 177° C (350° F)
MUST be withdrawn from service and condemned by
trained personnel. DO NOT use caustic paint strippers.
Valve and safety relief devices MUST be removed and
replaced by trained and authorized personnel. DO NOT
alter or change valve assembly.
All cylinders MUST be inspected before attempting to fill;
otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
NEVER smoke in an area where oxygen is being
administered.
NEVER use near any type of flame or flammable/explosive
substances, vapours or atmosphere.
NOTE:Forthisprocedure,refertoFIGURE4.1.
The Hydrostatic Testing Date
AluminumcylindersMUSTundergotestingeveryfiveyears.

SECTION 4—INSPECTION AND COMPRESSOR INTERFACE
HomeFill® II 14 Part No 1141477
 WARNING
DO NOT fill cylinders that have not been tested in the
past five years. Otherwise, serious personal injury may
result. Contact your dealer for replacement.
