| Handling pressurized containers and vessels |
| l
| Secure the containers to prevent them from falling. |
| Bottles stored upright must be secured to prevent them from falling, and those lying flat must be secured to prevent them from rolling. |
| l
| Do not drop or knock the containers over. |
| If dropped, the containers may be damaged, causing them to break. The refrigerant will then evaporate rapidly, liberating considerable forces. Flying fragments of the bottle may cause serious injury. |
| If transported improperly, the valves of the bottles may break. In order to protect the valve, the bottles must always be transported with the protective cap in position. |
| l
| The bottles must never be placed close to heating radiators. |
| Very high temperatures may be found in the vicinity of heating radiators. High temperatures also mean high pressures, which may exceed the admissible pressure of the container. |
