Personal Safety
Flushing ozone from the system
Safety warnings regarding ozone gas are found at the
beginning of this manual. The Ozone System produc-
es a large amount of ozone, which can be inadvertent-
ly “stored” within the Ozone Generators, manifolds,
and ozone lines.
NOTE: In most circumstances, a very small amount
of ozone will be contained within the system after
shutdown and therefore exposure will be minimal.
Eventually the ozone (even while in the system) will
safely revert back to oxygen, but in the right condi-
tions the ozone can remain in the system for 24 hours
or even longer. In the event that maintenance must be
performed on the components in contact with ozone,
the following is recommended for reducing the possi-
bility of exposure to the ozone.
Whenever possible it is recommended that the machine
run with maximum permissible air and oxygen flow
for at least 10 minutes with the Ozone Generator OFF
in order to flush out most residual ozone.
If the machine cannot be operated prior to maintenance
or repair, a waiting period of 12 to 24 hours (if ozone
has been produced recently) is recommended to allow
the ozone to decay by reverting back into oxygen.
Isolating energy sources
The Ozone Generator has electrical and mechanical
hazards, and maintenance or repair should not take
place unless all energy sources have been turned off,
disconnected, and/or drained. Energy sources include,
but are not limited to:

Electrical power
 Oxygen Concentrator sieve beds
 Ozone Generator internal capacitors
