Safety

We are happy to supply you any information. Safety is a priority!

For your safety please read and understand instructions thoroughly before operating this equipment. Exercise extreme caution when heandling pressurized cylinders. Cylinders should be secured in a cart or chained to a bench or wall to prevent them from falling or being knocked over. If a cylinder must be moved, the inflator should be removed and the cylinder cap replaced unless the tank has the black safety neck.

Do not drop or strike cylinder or inflator
Do not store cylinder in driect sunlight or apply heat above 120° F
Keep cylinder valve closed when not in use
Cylinders should only be filled by an authorized individual in accordance with CGA, DOT and other safety guidelines

NEVER BREATH IN HELIUM. Breathing helium deprives the lungs of needed oxygen and can cause asphyxiation. Attempting to breath helium from the inflator attached to the cylinder or the cylinder itself will cause damage to mouth and lungs.

Helium is an inert, non-toxic, non-flammable gas. However, it is pressurized and can be dangerous if misused or if proper safety practices are ignored. Please review the safety measures to ensure a safe and successful event..

DO NOT:

Do not inhale helium.(Helium displaces oxygen in the lungs when causes oxygen to not reach your brain.)
Do not release gas into the mouth or any other bodily orifices.(Helium tanks are highly pressurized. Misuse can damage tissue or cause death.)
Do not move with inflator on.
Do not move tank with the balloon inflator attached. Always remove the inflator before moving or transporting the helium tank. The valve becomes susceptible to damage if the tank were to fall over or be hit while the inflator is attached causing a very dangerous hazard.
Do not let children operate equipment.
Never let children operate a high pressure gas cylinder. Tank can be dangerous if improperly or carelessly used.
Do not use or store in a closed in area. Do not use or store in a closed in area.
Do not release balloons into the sky. Please remember to dispose of balloons properly. When balloons pophigh in the atmosphere, their pieces and ribbons fall back to earth and can be harmful to animals and marine life. Released balloons can also become tangled in power lines, which may cause power outages or even explosions.

Metallic balloons should be attached to an anchor so they won't float away accidentally. A released metallic balloon or balloon with  metallic ribbon can potentially  become entangled and cause power outages.

HOW TO USE YOUR TANK

SECURE

When you are ready to start inflating balloons, place the tank on a stable surface and secure it to prevent it from tipping over.

CAP

If you have the big tank, you must remove the safety cap first. Rotate the cap counterclockwise to remove the cap.

INFLATOR

Now is the time to put the balloon inflator on the tank. To tighten the valve, use to turn it clockwise until it stops.

OPEN THE TANK

Now, turn on the tank. There is a valve on the very top of the tank. You will see open and close markings with arrows.
Turn the handwheel counterclockwise to open the valve.

DO YOU NEED TO USE HI FLOAT?

Determine whether or not you need to use Hi Float in your latex balloons before you fill with helium. Look up the float time of your latex balloons. Look up the float time on the manufacturers website for the brand of balloons you are inflating. A standard 11" balloon typically will stay inflated for only 8-12 hours under normal indoor conditions without Hi Float treatment. If you need the balloons to last longer, you will want to consider using Hi Float to make your balloons last longer inflated with helium.

INFLATE BALLOONS

To inflate balloons, you put your balloon on the black rubber tip and gently bend it slightly in any direction. Be careful not to forecefully bend it too far, or you will break the tip.

TURN TANK OFF

When you are done inflating balloons, turn the tank off. You will turn the handwheel at the top of the tank clockwise to tun the valve to the closed position.

RELEASE TANK PRESSURE

After your close the valve, a small amount of helium still remains in the inflator that must be released. Gently tilt the rubber tip to the side and the pressure will release very quickly.

TAKE OFF INFLATOR

When you are done with the tank or even just relocating the equipment, you will need to take off the inflator. Once the pressure is released, you will be able to remove the inflator by hand. Grip the inflator and turncounter clockwise.

CAP

If you have the big tank, you will now need to replace the safety cap. The smaller tanks have the black handle that protect the valve and do not need a safety cap.
