The system has to be used according to these instructions for use and especially
the safety instructions!
5. Operation and maintenance
5.1 Make shure that seals, sealing surfaces and pressure gauges are in good status.
5.2 Pressure regulators are always to be protect against damage (visual inspection in
regular intervals).
5.3 In case of malfunctions, e. g. an increase of the outlet pressure during the supply,
or in case of leakage versus atmosphere or a defective pressure gauge, shut down
the upstream gas supply and take the pressure regulator out of operation.
6. Shut-down
6. 1 For short-term interuption of work, it is sufficient to close the shut-off valve at
the consumer unit.
6. 2 For longer interuptions or to end the work, close shut-off valve (1) first. After the
pressure regulator has been depressurised, release the hand knob (4). Close shut-
off valve at the consumer unit.
6. 3 Before disassembling the pressure regulator, make sure that all pressure gauges
display zero.

1. Application
1.1 Designated use
Use the pressure regulator for tapping points TORNADO 2000 with an suitable
shut-off valve for gases dissolved under pressure, compressed or liquefied
gases. The pressure regulator TORNADO 2000 reduces an inlet pressure
1.2 Non-designated use
Do not use the pressure regulator for gases in the liquid phase.
to an
as constant as possible outlet pressure.
Do not use for unsuitable types of gas or corrosive gases.
Do not use at temperatures below -30°C or above +60°C.

7. Repair
7.1 Repairs may only be carried out by expert
persons.
7.2 Only original spare parts must be used. The materials have been adapted to the
gas type in each instance. So always specifiy the gas type.
7.3 In case of independent repairs, the use of non-original spare parts or changes on
the side of the user or a third party without the approval of the manufacturer, any
form of liability for resulting damages will expire as well as the manufacturers
warranty.
7.4 After being repaired, the pressure regulator must be checked with respect to
proper function, leak-tightness and cleanliness of the gas-wetted surfaces.When
the system is used again, a sufficient purging operation must be carried out first.

4. Start-up
4.1 Before starting read the specifications of this instruction for use and observe it while
working.
4.2 Check, that the cylinder valve thread, the pressure regulator connector and the
connection seals are without any damage (blow through if nessesary).
Do not use the pressure regulator if damaged.

4.3 Connect the pressure regulator to the closed gas cylinder valve (1). Tighten it gas-tight
with a suitable spanner.
4.4 Release the positioning spring with hand knob (4); first close shut-off valve at the
consumer unit; open shut-off valve (1) slowly (High pressure gauge 3 indicate cylinder
pressure); adjust required outlet pressure with hand knob (4). Open slightly shut-off
valve at the consumer unit. Correct pressure setting in case of a decrease of pressure.
