MAINTENANCE

Do not attempt to carry out maintenance or repairs yourself.

• Do not dismantle the regulator. Return it to your Clarke dealer for

servicing.

• Do not clean gauge lens with solvents/petrol etc.

MALFUNCTIONS

Do not use the pressure regulator if:

• The pressure regulator or any of its parts (gauge, inlet connection,

outlet connection) are damaged or dirty, oily etc.

• There are any leaky connections.

• The pressure relief valve has been tampered with, or is leaking.

• If the gauge malfunctions during use, (e.g. leaks) stop work

immediately and close the cylinder valve.

Return the regulator to your dealer to be checked and repaired.

CHECKING FOR LEAKS

Checking for leaks must be carried out only in the open air. Use soapy water

as a gas leak detector. Do not use a flame.

• Spray a suitable leak detector or apply soapy water onto the area

to be checked.

• The forming of any bubbles or foam is an indication of a leak.

STORAGE

The pressure regulator must be treated as a precision instrument. When it is

not to be used for long periods, store it in its packaging or in its box to prevent

contact with dust, oil and other sources of contamination.
