3. Check for vacuum by occluding the pa ent tube and set the vacuum regulator (7) to the maximum vacuum
se ng.
4. Observe the regulator gauge (8). The vacuum reading should rise to
‐

‐
occlude the pa ent tubing.
5. Allow the unit to run for 15 minutes on DC power. If the unit stops or slows during the 15 minutes, or if the
ba ery condi on indicators (4) begin to blink, it is possible the ba ery capacity has been depleted. It is
