with. Observe applicable national statutory regulations for refilling. Do not refill
cylinders which are leaky or otherwise unsafe. Empty them in a safe manner.

adapter onto the compressed air cylinder until air can be heard flowing out.
Compressed air cylinders which are leaky, damaged or more than 10 years old

the manufacturing date, the compressed air cylinder must be tested at the owner’s
expense or replaced. The manufacturing date is recorded on the cylinder. See also
section on service life.
