The gas cylinder band is an ideal way of eliminating wastage of gas. It is an electrical resistance fitted with a thermostat which under adverse weather conditions (low temperatures) keeps the gas pressure constant and also allows the cylinder to be used until completely empty.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1 - Make sure that the outer surface of the cylinder is free from rust, dust and other deposits.
2 - Position the band around the cylinder with the joint above the welded seam.
3 - Hold in position using the central fastener and regulate the fit around the cylinder then close the other 2 fasteners.
4 - The cable should preferably be placed towards the bottom (see drawing).
5 - To avoid damaging the electrical cable it is advisable to fasten the cable to the cylinder using electricians straps or similar.
6 - Switch on 4 to 5 minutes to pre-heat before using the gas.
7 - If the cylinder is not being used for several hours, unplug the unit.

DAMAGE RISKS TO THE BAND
a - The band must not be bent to less than R° 10.
b - The cable attached to the band must not be subjected to being pulled at more than 8 to 10 Kg.
c - The band must not have any weight or sharp objects placed on the heater area.
d - Store in a dry place.

PROPER STORAGE
After use, the band and all of its component parts should be rolled up to a diameter of 15÷20 cm. in its original box.
