2 - As with the evacuation procedure, ensure that all stop valves,<br />
solenoid valves and other such devices have been fully opened so<br />
not to restrict the flow around any parts <strong>of</strong> the system.<br />
3 - Open the low-pressure side and high-pressure side valves in the<br />
manifold gauges.<br />
4 - Open the nitrogen cylinder main valve using the pressure regulator<br />
on the cylinder to keep pressure <strong>of</strong> OFDN at less than the maximum<br />
working pressure indicated on the equipment nameplate.<br />
5 - Keep the OFDN flowing <strong>for</strong> several<br />
minutes or until dry clean gas is<br />
