Cautions
CAUTION! Follow local governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal and recycling
of device components.
CAUTION! Overtightening the flowmeter knob can damage the needle valve and result in leakage or loss
of oxygen flow into the flowmeter. Do not overtighten. When the ball is resting on the bottom
of the stop in the flow tube, the flowmeter is OFF. There is no need to tighten any more.
CAUTION! Overtightening the absorber canister draw knob may cause damage to the machine and
possibly result in leakage. Do not overtighten.
CAUTION! Do not apply compressed gas to the machine that is unregulated. Using compressed gas
delivered in excess of 65
psi may damage the flowmeter, plumbing, and flush valve.
CAUTION! Do not overtighten the Pop-Off Valve.
CAUTION! Do not overtighten the oxygen hose on the back of the anesthesia machine as this may
inadvertently loosen the fitting at the back of the flowmeter and may result in leakage.
Always use 2 wrenches to tighten the DISS female hose connection to the machine. One (5/8
inch) to hold the DISS male and one (11/16 inch) to tighten the DISS female hose connection.
CAUTION! Before cleaning the Absorber Canister, remove all loose debris and dust. Applying water to
carbon dioxide absorbent causes it to harden, making it difficult to remove.
Notes
NOTE! If the Anesthesia Head Assembly is able to spin on the pole, then the screw is not installed. Install
the ¼ - 20 x 1½ Button Head Screw (32821B1).
NOTE! Vaporizer mounting hardware is not included with the machine.
NOTE! For certain styles of vaporizers, it may be necessary to attach the male and female end caps to the
vaporizer first, before mounting it to the machine (see step 8 in Chapter 3 under Set up Diagram
and Instructions).
NOTE! When mounting a Tech 4 Vaporizer to the machine, use the lower slot and position the vaporizer
all the way to the right side (when looking at the front of the machine).
NOTE! A leak in the anesthesia machine may result if the threaded opening at the top of the absorber
canister is not covered when filling with absorbent.
