5.0 Main Components
5.1 Components
The design of the CAIRE NewLife Oxygen Concentrator allows for easy access and
removal of most components. This allows you to perform repair and replacement of parts
with minimal time and effort.
To prevent accidental electrical shock or burn, be sure to set the unit’s
ON/OFF power switch to the OFF position and disconnect the power
cord of the unit from the electrical outlet before you service the NewLife
Oxygen Concentrator.
Record all scheduled maintenance. (Refer to Section 4.0.)
Before reattaching tubing connections using a tie-wrap, remove 1/8 inch
(0.32 cm) from end of tubing to assure a proper seal. Tubing should be
cut evenly across width.
5.2 Cabinet Removal
5.2.1 Removing Side Panel(s)
To remove one or both side panels, unscrew the 1/4 turn fastener(s) and remove the
panel(s).
5.2.2 Removing Back Panel
Remove both side panels and lift off the back panel. Make sure the power cord can
pass freely through the power cord cutout.
5.2.3 Removing Lower Front Panel
Firmly grasp panel with both hands, and slightly bow panel outward to remove.
5.2.4 Removing Control Panel
Four screws hold the control panel in place. Remove them and the control panel to
re-install or replace if necessary.
5.2.5 Superstructure
The weight and forces of the internal components rest solely on three parts: the
superstructure, compressor plate, and the base. These parts were specially designed
and formed. They should never require replacement under normal use.
5.2.6 Caster Replacement
1. Remove the cabinet panels to expose the caster nut.
2. Remove the caster nut with a 9/16-inch socket. Use an extension for the two
front caster nut removals.
3. Install the new caster with original washer and securing nut.
4. Reconnect the cabinet panels.
