It is not proper to:
  • Use AC light or limit switches to switch DC current.
  • Use the 90c to fill a tank with a volume exceeding one gallon.
  • Do A LOT of other stuff that we do in FIRST.
Still, according to the manual, the proper way to jog a cylinder is to use a center-closed valve. Since there is a way to do this legally, as far as I can tell, there really is no reason why you shouldn't do it the proper way.
