Procedures for fill station with booster
pump
Wear hearing protection
Booster pump is very loud, hearing protection is required!
Make sure valve on booster pump is turned on. Valve is blue at sta. 35 and yellow at sta. 31
You can leave this valve in the on position at all times. There is no need to turn it off.
We are no longer using the “cascading” principle. Because of the new booster pump you now leave all the banks in the open
position. They will self equalize and be automatically refilled by the compressor.
Open door and insert bottle
Connect bottle, close bleeder valve, and open bottle
Close door and lock it
Set regulator pressure to 4500
Open fill valve. Bottle will fill to the set regulated pressure. Allow cylinder to fill slowly to avoid overheating.
Shut down procedures
Close fill valve
Bleed off regulator to 0 psi
Unlock door and open
Turn bottle off, open bleeder valve, and disconnect bottle
Take bottle out and close door
Relieve regulator pressure to 0
All done
