Procedure 6.6 – Clearing a Clog in the Small Canister
It is unlikely that the bottom canister will experience an offload error, as the waste
couplers for the Neptune 2 are considerably larger. However, the drain valve between
the small canister and the large canister is smaller than the waste coupler. If fluid is
allowed to remain in the small canister for extended periods of time, it is possible for
coagulation to begin and may result in an offload error. The following procedure details
how to remove the fluid from the small canister.
NOTE:
The offload error in the small canister usually occurs after fluid has been
drained from the large canister. If this is the case, you will not be able to use the
vacuum pump as required in this procedure because the unit will have an error. If
the unit has at least
1 liter
of fluid in the large canister proceed to step 7. If not,
begin this procedure at step 1 below.
1. To access the System Settings Menu, hold down the display button in the
upper-right hand corner and dock the unit. (See figure 1)
