2. Cylinders may be stored in the open, but in such cases, should be
protected against extremes of weather and, to prevent rusting, from
the dampness of the ground. Cylinders should be stored in the
shade when located in areas where extreme temperatures are
prevalent.
3. The valve protection cap should be left on each cylinder until it has
been secured against a wall or bench, or placed in a cylinder stand,
and is ready to be used.
4. Avoid dragging, rolling, or sliding cylinders, even for short distance;
they should be moved by using a suitable handtruck.
5. Never tamper with safety devices in valves or cylinders.
6. Do not store full and empty cylinders together. Serious suckback can
occur when an empty cylinder is attached to a pressurized system.
7. No part of cylinder should be subjected to a temperature higher than
52°C (125°F). A flame should never be permitted to come in contact
with any part of a compressed gas cylinder.
8. Do not place cylinders where they may become part of an electric
circuit. When electric arc welding, precautions must be taken to
prevent striking an arc against the cylinder.
