Q & A for cylinders affected by this recall:
Q:  Can I use my cylinder?

A:  No.
Q:  Can I leave my cylinder full of nitrous?

A:  No.
Q:  Can I leave my cylinder mounted?

A:  Yes, but the cylinder must be empty.  Using proper safety procedures, c

rack the hose fitting and open the valve to empty the nitrous in a well ven

tilated area, such as outdoors.  Remember that the gas and cylinder will ge

t cold enough to cause injury, and that breathing the gas is harmful.
Q:  How long before I can use my cylinder again?

A:  Boondocker is working with Rehvac to quickly implement a safe plan to r

emedy Rehvac’s manufacturing defect.  For your safety, Boondocker has chosen to notify you now before all details are known.
Q:  Where do I find my valve serial number?

A:  The six-digit S/N number is stamped on the blow-off valve body, which i

s near the knob.
Q:  What is the safety hazard caused by this defect?

A:  The risk of a cylinder bursting is increased because the Rehvac manufac

turing defect causes the safety blow-off valve to not release at the design

ed pressure.  A burst cylinder can result in property damage, injury, or de

ath.
Q:  I am a dealer.  Should I notify my customers?

A:  Yes, please forward this notice to them.
