Getting Started

Follow these steps to safely and effectively use your helium cylinder.

Step 1: Inspect Your Cylinder

• Check for any visible damage
• Ensure the valve is in good condition
• Verify you have the correct regulator attachment

Step 2: Attach the Regulator

• Remove the valve cap from the cylinder
• Thread the regulator onto the valve clockwise
• Hand-tighten firmly - do not use tools
• Check for any hissing sounds indicating leaks

Step 3: Inflating Balloons

• Stretch the balloon before inflating
• Place the balloon neck over the inflation nozzle
• Press the balloon against the nozzle to release helium
• Fill until the balloon is round but not over-inflated
• Tie off the balloon immediately after removing from nozzle

Step 4: Finishing Up

• Close the valve firmly when finished
• Remove the regulator and replace the valve cap
• Store the cylinder upright in a safe location

Tips for Best Results

• Use Hi-Float to extend balloon float time
• Don't over-inflate - balloons should give slightly when squeezed
• Fill balloons close to event time for best float duration
• Store inflated balloons away from heat and sharp objects
