SECTION 14—MAINTENANCE

Function Test
1. Make sure the cylinder fill port properly connects to the HomeFill filling unit.
2. Partially fill the cylinder to check for proper filling operation (15 min).
3. Verify movement on gauge.
4. Check the cylinder for leaks.
CAUTION
DO NOT soak conserver or regulator – focus on cylinder/conserver interface.
5. Test the flow of the regulator at continuous flow. It should read 2 L/min.
6. Connect an oxygen cannula to the conserving device at each setting.
7. Breathe with the cannula to see if it pulses.
8. Bleed the cylinder down until empty (use 2 L/min. continuous flow setting on
conserver).
9. Verify gauge is at 0 psi (0 kPa) when cylinder is empty.
10. If it does not pulse, discontinue use. Return to Invacare for repair
