DANGER
The Heavy Duty Suction Pump is a vacuum suction device
designed for the collection of nonflammable fluid materials
in medical applications only. Improper use during medical
applications can cause injury or death.
For all medical applications:
• All suctioning should be done in strict accordance with
appropriate procedures that have been established by a
licensed medical authority.
• Some attachment accessories may not fit the tubing
supplied. All attachment accessories should be checked
prior to use to assure proper fit.
2. AC POWER SOURCE
CAUTION
Item # ASP-ROS is used with a power supply allowing opera-
tion on AC voltage (AC 110-120 V, 60 Hz). The correct power
source must be used to connect to adaptable wall power.
3. ELECTRICAL COMPRESSOR
If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently, you may have a low
voltage situation. Low voltage can also be suspected when:
• The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
• Other motor operated appliances fail to operate properly. Too many motor
operated appliances on same circuit.
NOTE
The motor of this compressor has a thermal overload pro-
tector. If the motor overheats, the overload protector will
shut off the motor. If this occurs, turn the
ON/OFF
switch to
the
OFF
position and allow the motor to cool (approximately
30 minutes). Restart compressor. If the compressor fails
to start, wait an additional 5 minutes before attempting to
restart. If this fails, inspect the fuses on your suction unit. If
the unit still does not restart, call your medical equipment
provider immediately.
