Does anyone know of a website that explains how to hook up the regulator/tubing and turn on the O2 tank (home use) Preferably with pictures?

My brother will be staying with my dad for a bit, but has never dealt with O2 tanks, I'll be away for a couple of days and probably won't see brother to explain it all . NOT a complicated proceedure, but very easy to leave a tank on and come back to find it empty..

I did do a Yahoo search, and got back soemthing 19, 000 sites YIKES!

THANKS:confused:

Found this on a quickie Google search:

I presume the oxygen company has provided written instructions, or can fax some or direct you to their website. They should also have a hotline to call for questions and problems.

Specific pictures and instructions may vary depending on the brand and type of equipment used. Best to get the right ones from the O2 provider.
