How to use oxygen cylinders
1 Be sure the flow regulator knob is set at zero

2 Make sure the T-handle is tight.
3 Place the cylinder wrench on the cylinder’s
on/off valve, located at the top of the cylinder.
4 Open the valve by turning it counterclockwise one full turn. As the valve opens,
the gauge on the regulator will show the
amount of pressure in the cylinder. A full
cylinder will read about 2000 psi (pounds per
square inch).
5 Adjust the flow regulator knob to the flow
rate your doctor prescribed.
6 Attach tubing to the nipple adaptor on the
regulator.
