inches (3.18 centimeters) and a minimum base diameter of 24 inches (61
centimeters) capable of supporting the weight of the machine, 26 lbs (11.8
kilograms) and fluids. The system can be fully spiked with 3 units of fluid. Do not
mount the system higher than 30 inches (76 centimeters) off the ground.
2.
Continue the installation with the Support Assembly (clamp and washer).
Position the support clamp below the FMS2000 with just enough room for the
thickness of the plastic washer. Snap the plastic washer onto the IV pole above
the support clamp. Tighten the screw in the support clamp with a 3/16 Allen
Wrench.

Support the FMS2000 by the top mounted handle prior to opening the “Pole
Clamp Release Handle”. Lift up on the “Pole Clamp Release Handle” to open.
Mount the system onto the IV pole by pushing down on the pole clamp release
handle at the desired height. Check that the system is locked in place before
proceeding.
4.
Clamp the reservoir support onto the IV pole above the FMS2000.
CAUTION:
Check that the system is securely
clamped to an IV pole that can support
the system and fluids and will not tip
over.
To insure proper ventilation of the
system, keep the fan at the bottom of
the unit clear.
The operator should take standard
precautions applied to all rotating
machinery when operating this system.
