Operation
The pump should be placed securely on a flat surface.
Before starting the pump ensure that the garments are
properly applied, the zips are secured and the garment
connecting tubes are attached to the pump outlet ports via
snap-lock connectors.

Make sure the system has been arranged so that the
power cable and garment hoses do not pose a trip or
strangulation hazard.
Ensure that the pressure level is set at minimum i.e. the
knob (2) is fully rotated in a counterclockwise direction.
Switch On
Connect the pump to the mains power supply using the
power cable provided. Turn the mains power switch (1)
to the on (
I
) position.
To Set the Garment
Pressure
While the garment is inflating, rotate the pressure control
knob (2) slowly clockwise until the required pressure is
displayed on the gauge (4).
The garments will take approximately three cycles to fully
inflate. Check and adjust as necessary after three inflation
cycles.

It might be necessary to start at a lower pressure
level dependant on the patient’s tolerance.
Compression should not cause any discomfort or
pain to the patient.
Shut Down
Turn the power switch (1) to the off (
O
) position.
Turning the power off will stop the patient therapy.

If it is required to completely isolate the pump from
the mains power, remove the plug from the mains
power socket.
To Remove the Garment
Make sure the pump power switch is in the off
(
O
)
position, disconnect the tubes from the pump by releasing
the snap-lock connectors (3), and release the quick air
release bung on the garment.
Only open the zip after the garment is completely deflated.
Caution
Do not apply or remove the garment while it is attached to the pump
and the pump is in operation, as you may damage the garment zip.
