Installing Argon Gas Bottle  

1.  Remove the argon gas bottle from the shipping box. Inspect for shipping damage. 

2.  Remove the red cap from the argon gas bottle and discard. 
3.  Turn the gi4000 ESU ON by pushing the power ON/OFF switch to the ON position (the 

“I” should be pressed inward).   

4.  Select the Argon Method on the touchscreen display. 
5.  Carefully align and insert the argon gas bottle, valve end first, into the port located on 

the right-hand side of the gi4000 ESU. 

 

6.  Screw  in  the  argon  gas  bottle 

clockwise

  until  it  is  fully  seated,  and  you  observe  a 

green gas bottle icon appear above the gas information section on the left side of the 
Argon Method screen. 
 

 

 

7.  Confirm that the argon gas bottle icon on the Argon Method screen displays a full, 

green bottle icon. 

 

 

 

 

WARNING: Personal Injury Hazard. 

Any attempt to operate the gi4000 

ESU with any gas source other than the gi4000  argon gas bottle, or to 
attach argon probe accessories to the gi4000 ESU in any way other than 
by the use of the ArConnect

® 

argon probe connector may pose a serious 

hazard to patients and users.

 

 

NOTE: 

It is recommended that the water bottle holder be removed during 

installation  and removal of  the  argon gas bottle for easier access to the 
argon port.  

 

NOTE: 

 

Continue turning clockwise firmly until the argon gas bottle is fully 

engaged. This can be anywhere from ¼ to 2 full turns tighter, even after 
seeing  the  green  gas  bottle  icon  appear.  Do  not  stop  turning  until  the 
argon  gas  bottle  is  fully  seated  and  cannot  be  turned  any  tighter  to 
prevent argon from leaking from the system at the bottle valve. 

 

NOTE: 

   

If  the  GREEN  gas  bottle  icon  does  not  appear,  remove  the 

argon  gas  bottle  by  turning 

counterclockwise 

and  take  it  out  of  the 

gi4000 ESU. Inspect the brass threads for damage. If the threads are 
undamaged, while using gloved hands, pour a few drops of sterile water 
onto  clean,  lint-free  gauze  and  lightly  wipe  around  the  brass  threads. 
Repeat steps 5 through 7 above.
