SECTION f7 - IIANDLING AND STORAGB
PRECALIIIONS TO BE TAICEN IN STORAGE: Stae and use with adequatcventilation. Cylindcrs should be scpor"atcdfrom flammabl,esby a minim'm distarre of 20 fu r
by a barrier of non-combusriblesuterisl ar least 5 fL high having a ltre r€sistanc€rating
of at least l/2 hour. Cylinders sbould b€ sored upright with valve pmtection cap in place
