Gas cylinders with pin-index system
(optional)
Connecting the gas cylinders
1
Remove the old sealing washer (D).
2
Insert a new sealing washer (D) at the cylinder
holder (J).
3
Make sure that both pin-index pins (A) are
present below the gas inlet (B).
4
Align the gas cylinder (F) so that the pin-index
holes on the cylinder head (E) are pointing
towards the pin-index pins (A) on the cylinder
holder (J).
5
Insert the cylinder head (E) of the gas cylinder
(F) from below into the cylinder holder (J).
6
Allow the pin-index pins (A) to engage in the
pin-index holes.
7
Turn the handle (I) on the cylinder holder (J)
clockwise. The tip of the threaded retaining pin
will then be turned into the visible recess on the
cylinder head. Make sure that the gas cylinder
is suspended vertically.
8
Tighten the handle (I) of the cylinder holder (J).
If required, the gas cylinder valve (C) can be
opened with the supplied wrench (G).
If the gas cylinder is removed, insert the plug (H) in
the mounted gas cylinder holder and tighten.
WARNING
Risk due to incorrect mounting of the gas
cylinder
When using several sealing washers between
the gas cylinder and the gas inlet of the
cylinder holder, the pin-index safety system
is compromised.
If a gas cylinder is connected, always check
whether the pin-index pins are present. Never
attempt to bypass the pin-index safety
system.
WARNING
Risk of explosion
If the gas cylinder valves are opened too
quickly, a sudden increase in pressure may
occur.
– Open and close the gas cylinders valve
slowly by hand.
– Do not use tools.
CAUTION
Risk due to gas supply failure
Leave gas cylinders as a backup at the
anesthesia workstation, even if there is a
connection to the central gas supply.
NOTE
Leaky and stiff gas cylinder valves must be
repaired according to manufacturer's
specifications.
